SPI 883: What's Working as a Podcaster Right Now

Here is a stat that will blow your mind. There are over 4 million podcasts out there, but only 10% have more than 10 episodes. That means if you can just get past 10 episodes, you're already in the top 10% of all podcasters. And if you hit 100 episodes, you're in the top 4.8%. But here's what's really exciting.

We're living through what I call right now the TikTokification. of podcasting. For the first time ever, your very first piece of podcast content could be seen by a million people. The rules have completely changed. It wasn't always like that, right?

With just audio only, the chances of getting your first episode out there was very slim. You had to build over time. And of course many podcasts have done very well over time. I started this show back in 2010. And that was literally 15 years ago.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (35 minutes, 6,848 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 5 episodes for $3.49, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
