The Takeoff Sequence Explains Podcast Growth
- Growing a podcast on YouTube is a chain of events that must convert strangers into fans.
- If any link in the 'takeoff sequence' fails, the algorithm won't surface your episodes.
Content Alone Won't Drive Reach
- Podcasters overinvest in episode content and underinvest in the takeoff sequence.
- Great content won't get listeners if the pre-flight (packaging + intro) isn't nailed.
Make A Clear Show Promise
- Define a clear promise: who you serve (Point A) and the outcome you deliver (Point B).
- Make that promise obvious in your show description and every episode so the algorithm and listeners know who it's for.
