Podcasters, especially those just starting out, often grapple with the challenge of building an audience and monetizing their content. This takes a lot of work and, when you’re in the middle of that work, it can be frustrating to feel like nobody is hearing what you create.
The sentiment that "no one owes you anything" can be a hard pill to swallow, but we live in a world that’s saturated with voices vying for attention. Just because you make something doesn’t mean people, whose time is precious and already have countless options available for how they choose to spend it, will want what you have.
Make it anyway.
If you keep showing up with good work, the people who care about what you do will emerge.
I agree. That’s why I don’t focus on how small my audience is. I appreciate that my listeners keep showing up after two years. This validates my episodes have a connection with each of them. My goal has always been about making a difference. One story, one person at a time. ❤️
