Determining the primary goal of a podcast is crucial for its success. This involves asking essential questions about the desired outcomes, whether it's increasing revenue through sponsorships, building audience engagement, or fostering connections with guests. When revenue is a goal, podcasters should aim to significantly enhance listener value and retention to attract sponsors.
