Hey Friend! Maybe you've been looking at your downloads and are freaking out just a little. Podcast downloads are down and it has you feeling like a failure, ready to throw in the towel, like all hope is lost, and maybe like you should give up. Before you call it quits and give up on the dream you've worked so hard for, go grab a fresh cup of coffee and listen closely... It's not you. No really, it's Apple. They recently released iOS 17, and with that came a shift due to changes made in Apple Podcast. In today's episode I'm sharing with you how we, as podcasters, can actually utilize the iOS 17 changes to our benefit. Where to look for accurate podcast metrics, and what to do with this new data. It's important for you to know what's happening behind the scenes so you don't get discouraged but continue to do the thing God has called you to do. I pray this blesses you!
