GOT DOWNLOADS?
Needing consistent downloads and reaching more people with your podcast is a constant effort.
Creating a successful podcast takes more than just recording your thoughts and hitting “upload.” To ensure that your podcast is accessible and reaches the people you want to reach, there are some key elements you must keep in mind.
First, commit to a consistent publishing schedule. You may want to consider releasing a new episode at the same time each week so that your listeners know when to tune in. You don’t need to stick to the same timeslot each week, but having a regular schedule will help ensure your listeners don’t lose track of you in the podcasting world.
Next, make sure you’re optimizing your audio for sound quality. Listeners are tuning in to hear the best quality audio possible, so make sure you’re using the correct microphone and recording setup. If your audio isn’t up to professional standards, listeners may hit the “unsubscribe” button before ever hearing what you have to say.
Third, create compelling content. You have a limited amount of time to capture your listener’s attention and make an impact, so be sure your content is engaging and compelling. Create a hook for each episode and be sure each episode provides valuable information to your listeners. Even if you don’t have the biggest audience, quality content will help you build an engaged audience over time.
Finally, make sure your podcast is easy to find. Listing your podcast in directories like iTunes and Stitcher is a great way to make sure people can discover it easily. Be sure to frequently update your show’s information such as cover art, episode descriptions, and categories, as this will help get your show in front of a larger audience.
By following these simple steps and committing to a consistent publishing schedule, you can increase the reach of your podcast and ensure that you earn consistent downloads. So focus on audio quality, compelling content, and making it easy for people to find your podcast and you’ll soon be on your way to successful podcasting!
