Podcast title analyzer

What does the analyzer check?

• A number: "5 mistakes", "10,000 listeners", "three questions".
• A question: has a "?" or starts with a question word: how, why, what, when, where, who, which, should, can, is, are, do, does, did, will or would.
• A person's name: a guest named in the title. This is a best guess from capital letters, so check the table.
• Specific: a number, an amount, a time or a name, and none of the vague words like "thoughts", "chat", "journey", "update" or "recap".
• You: the title talks to the listener ("you", "your").
• Episode number: "Ep 41:" or "#41" at the start or end.

For each one, it compares the median views of the titles that have it with the titles that don't. It only calls something a pattern when the difference is at least 1.5 times and it also shows up more in your top third than in your bottom third.

How do I use the 3 patterns?

1. Pick the pattern that fits your next episode.
2. Fill the brackets with what a stranger would get from listening: a result, a number, a name.
3. Keep it about as long as your best titles. Put the episode number at the end, if you use one.

How sure is the result?

With 10 titles, it is a hint. The topic, the guest and the day you posted matter too, and the tool can't see those. Use the same kind of number for every title (for example, views after 30 days), and add more titles to make it steadier.
