20 THE WHY I SOCIAL PODCAST

21 THE WHY I SOCIAL PODCAST is a podcast that features candid conversations with folks doing social media - from average joe to CEO. The podcast was created in 2013 and has evolved into a side business through sponsorship from influencer marketing company, Zoomph. It currently represents approximately one-fifth of my income. How Why I Social Uses Data To determine growth opportunities To evaluate episode success on a week by week basis To determine ideal content for future episodes To gain feedback for to help improve current value of podcast to audience Who is sharing the links I m tweeting (w/ focus on episodes and blog posts)

22 EXAMPLES OF DATA USAGE After reaching an average of 3,000+ downloads per month - the podcast was suddenly seeing a major decrease in listens. I didn t know why. It was at this time I conducted a content audit and discovered the following. After averaging over 300 tweets per month in the past year, I had been tweeting less than 200x per month over the period of evaluation. I had relied on itunes links, instead of utilizing the Libsyn links my service provided. itunes links were not Facebook or Twitter friendly and did not allow for listeners to take a listen in that moment - thus losing some major listener acquisition opportunities. Upon changing to playable links - listenership began to increase again and recently resumed the 3,000 average per month I expect this number to go up - and have set forth goals accordingly - based on the addition of a new sub-podcast (#FiveFavorites)

23 SOCIAL DROVE SEARCH This month I saw a surge in downloads of an old episode I was able to trace it back to this tweet
