00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>you need a podcast and you don't want the same

7
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty four hours of true crime, you gotta go to

<v Speaker 1>the network. Ero dot net a r r oe dot net.

9
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Enjoy your exploration. Hey, welcome back to the show Podcrashing

10
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>one on one. These are the episodes that connect listeners

11
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.399
<v Speaker 1>to podcast specialists around the world. The goal has always

12
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 1>been to inform our community with subjects that deal with

13
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:43.119
<v Speaker 1>everything and beyond podcasts. Ohs are very open and always

14
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 1>filled with the spirits that spreads their skills as journalists,

15
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>medical specialists, true crime solvers, gamblers, motivators, spiritualists, actors, and

16
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>even their children. There really is a podcast for every subject.

17
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 1>Podcrashing and Podcrashing one on one have been around since

18
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.359
<v Speaker 1>mark of twenty nineteen. The original goal was to put

19
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.879
<v Speaker 1>focus on helping up and coming podcasters to have the

20
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.680
<v Speaker 1>right information about hosting as well as surviving inside the

21
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>podcast world. The idea went fifty four episodes, and then

22
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I realized, why not share the stories of the other

23
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>podcasters I'm talking with? I mean, talk directly to the

24
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.719
<v Speaker 1>podcasters themselves about this journey. The purpose of podcrashing one

25
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.959
<v Speaker 1>on one is to help you build your own platform,

26
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 1>to promote it, and even make money. This is Podcrashing

27
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:39.439
<v Speaker 1>one on one Episode number four hundred sixty eight. What

28
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>does it really mean when your analytics sport a spike

29
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.519
<v Speaker 1>in numbers from Chrome to Apple, VLC or even Spotify.

30
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Now it boils down to one thing. Your podcast or

31
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>episode briefly crossed a visibility threshold. It's not that several

32
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred or thousands of people just fell in love with you,

33
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:03.280
<v Speaker 1>but the algorithms took note of your podcast presence, taking

34
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 1>you for a test drive, which is an easy way

35
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>to say there's a lot going on behind the curtain.

36
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.319
<v Speaker 1>So what does it mean to trigger an algorithm? Apple? Chrome, Spotify,

37
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.039
<v Speaker 1>and even iHeartRadio do this. They detect a sudden change

38
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.719
<v Speaker 1>in your downloads, follows and completion rates. Then the AI

39
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 1>system believes there's something going on with your website. The

40
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 1>reaction is to plant your podcasts into the sites of

41
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>new listeners. This explains why these spikes come from multiple

42
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 1>platforms all at one time. This doesn't mean that you're featured,

43
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 1>but it is a jump closer. I mean, spikes in

44
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.639
<v Speaker 1>your numbers are a soft promotion. Never forget. These platforms

45
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 1>are always looking for stickiness, not popularity. Are people listening?

46
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 1>Do they really finish your episodes? Do they ever come back?

47
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>And how often do they hit pause while listening to

48
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 1>your podcast? Hey? Coming up next? What does it actually mean?

49
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>These spikes in your podcast the analytics are driving you

50
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:10.719
<v Speaker 1>completely nuts? Hey? Thanks for coming back to podcasting one

51
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 1>on one? What do these so called spikes in your

52
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.840
<v Speaker 1>podcast analytics actually mean? Are we the next Joe Rogan

53
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 1>or SmartLess? Oh man, that's a tough one. Would you

54
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>know what to do if all of a sudden the

55
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>stars lit up your podcast? Guy? Spikes are an auditioned

56
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>They aren't a history overlap being transparent. I get a

57
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>spike and I actually get pretty mad. It's because it

58
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.919
<v Speaker 1>just screwed up my patterns and habits. The numbers are

59
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>not authentic. When your podcast numbers are up, think of

60
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 1>it as getting a stage inside some legendary club. The

61
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:52.759
<v Speaker 1>crowd decides what's gonna happen next? Why does this even happen?

62
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.599
<v Speaker 1>Your episode topic is a big French tickler right now,

63
00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:00.599
<v Speaker 1>and so is the title. When listeners share your you

64
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>are being watched. Plus you hit this thing called critical

65
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:08.919
<v Speaker 1>mass of completion, which should should give you a spike

66
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>in your podcasting. But here's the thing. Do not change

67
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:18.560
<v Speaker 1>your format. Start creating better titles for future hits and success,

68
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:22.920
<v Speaker 1>but don't change the format. Tell your listeners who you

69
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>are and what your plans are in the first thirty

70
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:29.240
<v Speaker 1>seconds of your episodes. Get your stuff on a regular schedule.

71
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Once again, not being a debbie downer here. Spikes feel

72
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.959
<v Speaker 1>really good, but they aren't real. Don't think of them

73
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.680
<v Speaker 1>as someone stepping in on your toes. Remember they can

74
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>be fake numbers. And the thing is is that people

75
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.959
<v Speaker 1>finding you is very important. But if you think you're

76
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.519
<v Speaker 1>a superstar because you got a spike, something else is

77
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna hit your heart very soon and you're gonna have

78
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>to deal with that. Take care of your neighbors as

79
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 1>well as yourself. I'm Marrow and that's odd. Crashing one

80
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:02.040
<v Speaker 1>on one
