If you’re trying to grow a business with your podcast, vanity metrics aren’t gonna cut it. You need to know who’s paying attention and why.Here’s how you figure that out:Watch what people do. Look at your LinkedIn feed. Who’s liking your clips? Who’s DMing you about that episode you dropped last week? Who’s showing up to calls already quoting your show?That’s your audience. And you need to write their names down.Even a simple spreadsheet will do. Just start labeling who’s engaged. Then get smarter. Drop a lead magnet in your next newsletter. Use booking links with tracking. Ask simple qualifying questions in your intake forms.And when you get a response? Loop that back into your next post, next episode, next pitch.Chapters00:00 – Why Downloads Mislead 01:58 – Your Total Audience, Not Just Platforms 03:13 – Look, Label, Loop Framework 06:32 – CRM, Newsletters, and Tracking Signals  ===📩 Grow your business with weekly Content Marketing tips.
