Podcasting in business has seen a huge growth over the past 5 years and with the current limitations in place on how we communicate due to the pandemic, podcasting has become even more of a focus for brands to reach new and old audiences.
However, so many podcast projects become abandoned after businesses fail to garner the traction that they were expecting. As Tim Reid cites during this episode very few make it beyond their sixth episode.
So why is this? And why has this episode’s guest Tim Reid been able to breakthrough and successfully build engaged audiences for multiple podcasts? With over 12 years experience in the podcasting world, Tim Reid brings a wealth of insight around how to find success in podcasting.
