Are you looking at the right metrics? Downloads, completion rate — these tell you almost nothing. But there are four numbers in your YouTube Studio that tell you exactly why your show isn't growing.

This episode breaks down what these four metrics mean for your podcast and how to fix each one. You'll learn how episode topics impact reach, what you need to do in the first five minutes to keep people watching, and why chasing views is actually holding your show back.

Topics Discussed:

Introduction (00:00)
Inputs vs. outputs: the data that matters (01:34)
Metric #1 (03:44)
Metric #2 (06:41)
Metric #3 (09:42)
Metric #4 (13:28)
How to diagnose your show (15:54)
