Here as some tips for you to implement to get your podcast listened to by more people.

Invest in the best quality audio

You\\u2019ve heard this one before but it bears repeating. Don\\u2019t underestimate the importance of quality audio production. Services like Circle270Media Podcast Consultants can support you with making sure you have the best sounding podcast your budget can afford. If it\\u2019s difficult for your audience to listen to your podcast\\u2026 they\\u2019ll stop listening to your podcast. 

Release consistently

Pick a day and time and stick with it. Research shows early week is great for business or personal growth podcasts, for example. And the latter part of the week for more light, entertainment, and lifestyle podcasts. But that doesn\\u2019t mean you have to release at that time based on your podcast content. Be sure to release your episodes on the day and time your audience expects to download it. And a schedule that fits YOUR schedule. Become a part of your listeners' routine. 

Purchase the url for your podcast 

You may not use it right away. But when you\\u2019re ready it will be yours. Currently, Apple Podcasts has no restrictions regarding two or more shows having the same name. So owning the url is critically important. 

Upload your podcast to your website or create a specific website for your podcast

If your existing website is different from the name of your show, be sure to buy the domain for your podcast. Then redirect it to your website. Use the podcast url when asking people to visit the website on your podcast. For example, If the url of your business website is allthingspopcorn.com but the name of your podcast is Movies And Snacks. Ask your listeners to go to moviesandsnacks.com and have that url redirected to allthingspopcorn.com. 

Transcribe each podcast episode

Services such as Sonix, Headliner, and Descript are affordable and make transcribing your podcast episodes quick and easy. Use these transcripts to write your show notes, and social media posts. As well as find content for your audiograms. Then write detailed show summary notes and upload them to your hosting platform, your website and YouTube. 

Detailed show notes can be created from a transcription of your episode and should include a number of things. The description of your episode, a few key takeaways, some time-stamped highlights, your guest bio and headshot, and resource hyperlinks of items mentioned or promoted on the episode. It\\u2019s all about the SEO for your content.

Promote with Audiograms and use the caption feature

Companies like Headliner and Wavve make creating audio clips simple. Use the cover art of the episode along with up to 59-second audio clip to post to your social media. The 59-second mark is important if you want your audiogram to play in its entirety when people scroll their feeds. 

Upload your podcast and your audiograms to YouTube

Take advantage of expanded discovery possibilities using the second largest search engine in the world. Be sure to upload your show notes. And don\\u2019t forget a link to the episode so people can link directly to your episode to share with others. 

Do not underestimate the importance of #hashtags 

Use them in all your posts promoting the podcast. This is a step you may be tempted to skip to save time. Don\\u2019t skip it. It can make all the difference in getting your podcast episode discovered by new listeners, and the press and media. 

Send out an announcement email to your guests with podcast assets

When working with guests, make sure you ask them what they could use from you to promote the episode.  As well as who to send podcast assets to. These podcast assets will probably include, for starters, links to..."
