Скачать или смотреть Podcast Not Growing? 5 Ways You're Sabotaging Podcast Growth

If your podcast feels stalled—or like it’s not really helping your business—this episode is for you.

In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m breaking down five common (and often overlooked) ways podcasters unintentionally sabotage their own growth, even when they’re publishing consistently and creating genuinely good content.

After nearly a decade working in podcast growth and marketing, I’ve seen the same issues come up again and again. And here’s the truth most podcasters don’t want to hear: growth usually isn’t blocked by effort—it’s blocked by strategy.

As we head into 2026, podcasting looks very different than it did even a year ago. Podcast platforms function like search engines. SEO matters. AI is shaping discovery. And podcasters who rely only on social media or word-of-mouth are hitting growth plateaus fast.

This episode is about making smart, sustainable shifts so your podcast can:
– get discovered through search
– attract the right listeners
– grow your email list
– support your offers and revenue
– and feel lighter to manage, not heavier

In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why podcast SEO and keyword strategy matter more than ever
How vague or clever episode titles hurt discoverability
The biggest mistake podcasters make with AI-generated titles
Why intros that focus on you (not the listener) cause drop-off
How choosing topics without audience validation stalls growth
Why collaboration and podcast swaps accelerate organic reach
What to focus on instead so your podcast becomes a true growth engine

This episode is for podcasters who want their show to do more than just exist in an app.

If you want your podcast to grow your audience, fuel your email list, and actually support your business long-term—this conversation will help you see exactly what needs to change.
