Text Emily! As you will hear in this episode, podcasting can change your life. Each year, I love the opportunity to reflect and learn from what went WELL, what didn't go so well, and what NEW things I want to experiment with and try in the coming year. In this episode, I share industry reports with data and stats, plus 7 takeaways full of insights and wisdom to provide you with info you can use for your podcasting year ahead. We get into: Niching vs. not niching The power of experimentation in your podcast and overall marketing Why it's important to go beyond the downloads and metrics Repurposing in a new way will set you apart Collaborations are the game-changer Micro insights around audio, video, ads, and more The big WHY And so much more!
