In our community training session this Wednesday I will be focusing on a topic that I've NEVER covered in 629 episodes of my podcast: Affiliate income!

When most podcasters are calling themselves a top 5% podcaster they aren't referring to downloads, income earned, or total episodes released....they are talking about their Listen Notes Score. The typical scenario is as follows: Podcast editors, producers, coaches like to pump up their clients (which is GREAT). They are celebrating all kinds of benchmarks with their clients and one of them is usually a fancy sounding number from Listen Notes. If you've never looked up your show on Listen Notes go ahead and do it right now so you can see what I'm talking about. ➡️ So, what exactly is a Listen Score? Here's the explanation from the Listen Notes website: "The Listen Score is a metric that shows the estimated popularity of this podcast compared to other RSS based public podcasts in the world on a scale of 0 to 100. Podcasts that that publish episodes regularly over long periods tend to score higher." When I search for Podcasting Business School I see that I have a Listen Score of 47 and then it says Global Rank: Top 1%. My top 1% Listen Score has a lot to do with the fact that I've put out 628 weekly episodes (volume + consistency). Now...here's where most podcasters mess this up... They rush to social media and proclaim "I've got a top 1% podcast!!!!!" When, in reality, they've got a top 1% Listen Score...BIG difference. To put this into perspective, if your show is in the top 1% according to downloads per episode, you would be doing well over 20,000 downloads per episode. Now, I'm not saying don't be proud of your Listen Score! You should celebrate every single WIN you achieve on your podcasting journey. What I AM saying is be as ACCURATE as possible with the information you are sharing. 📖 Read the full article HERE: Do you REALLY have a top 5% podcast? QUESTIONS?...Let's discuss in the comments!👇👇👇
