Factor in to the mix the ability to make a difference. For example, a music podcast with an audience of 10 who plays very niche music but sells 10 cds for bands per podcast could be considered successful. He/She’s making a difference both to the audience and to the bands, which was probably their goal in the first place.
I have to say I agree with your sentiments 100%
I was greatly heartened by Gill Mill’s comments at PodcastCon about the typical audience figures for a small-ish FM station here in Scotland. Turned out the tartanpodcast has a considerably bigger audience. AND it’s a global audience. AND it’s an audience that buys music.
Success or what?!
That is a good point on the CD sales, Mark. If that is a primary element of the motivation to podcast, say by increasing the awareness of unsigned bands, then acheiving it has to be a measure of success.
Good point Neil – it’s those who listen that matter most to me, it’s my raison detre (I’m sure that’s spelt wrongly).
There’s an element in me that does it for me, but it’s awesome to know folks out there WANT to listen. I love that.
