Tracking Episode Performance
Go beyond overall numbers and learn what makes a successful episode for your show.
1. The Episode Analytics Dashboard
- From your main 'Episodes' list, click on any completed episode to view its detailed analytics dashboard.
- This dashboard provides a comprehensive look at how a specific episode is performing over time.
- It includes metrics like total downloads, listener retention, and audience demographics specific to that episode.
2. Comparing Episode Performance
- Use this view to identify your best-performing content. What topics, formats, or guests resonate most with your audience?
- Compare the download numbers and retention graphs of different episodes to spot trends.
- Look for outliers—both good and bad. An episode with unusually high downloads or a steep drop-off in retention can provide valuable lessons.
3. Time-Based Analysis
- The dashboard allows you to view performance over specific timeframes (e.g., first 7 days, first 30 days).
- This helps you understand the initial impact of an episode versus its long-term 'evergreen' value.
- Use these date filters to measure the effectiveness of your launch promotions and marketing campaigns.
