Yes, there are some people out there who have super fans, which is great, who've listened to all your episodes, but most people will click on a random episode or discover you through a recommendation.<\/p>\n<p>So you need to make sure that whatever you say at the very beginning of your podcast is going to connect and resonate with those very first listeners.<\/p>\n<h3>A good introduction goes a long way.<\/h3>\n<p>A bit of music, a bit of an explanation. You could use it over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>Christina: Something else I would recommend doing is, making your welcome really warm and say \"Hey, welcome to the podcast!\" And you can even say something like, \"If this is your very first listen then an extra-large welcome to you.\" And then maybe spend a little bit of time explaining the podcast.<\/p>\n<p>You don't have to do that every single episode but it's nice to pop that in every now and again, in case you are getting those first listeners there.<\/p>\n<h3>See related videos:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/podcastservices.com.au\/what-are-podcast-show-notes\/\">What Are Podcast Show Notes?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/podcastservices.com.au\/how-to-title-your-episodes\/\">How To Title Your Episodes?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People can&#8217;t &#8216;skim listen&#8217; to audio.
