When it comes to Podcasting, there are a lot of “dos and don’ts” that you must be mindful of. Because it is becoming easier to start up your own podcast, many tend to just jump right into without reading the rules of the Podcasting world on how to be successful. Strategy Spot is constantly up to date on such changes. We want your podcast to be a success which is why we are going to lay out a list of everything that you need to know when it comes to Podcasting.
1.Keep it Professional
It doesn’t matter where you’re Podcasting from, you always make sure that when you’re on air that you are professional. This means that even your sound quality should be professional. In order to achieve that sound, you may have to buy some software that edits out the background noise from it. Truth be told, no listeners are going to tolerate a poor sounding podcast.
2.Provide a Description
Make sure that you have always provided a detailed description about what the podcast is about. This would also include a transcription if possible.
3. Make Sure it is Supported
There are a couple of different platforms in which you can post your podcast to. Make sure that it is supported and accessible to all such platforms.
1. Don’t Stray Off Topic
It's important that if you want to add and keep followers, when you pick a topic, you stick to it. People are listening to you because of the topic so don’t lead them astray by changing midway through.
2. Don’t be a Rambler
Once you have your topic, create an outline. This will eliminate any “umms” you may be inclined to say. Don’t allow for dead airtime either because that is how you lose followers.
3. Don’t Ignore Your Followers
It is important that you communicate with the people who are listening to you. This will allow you to improve the user experience by listening to what they have to say. Read between the lines because you can find out a lot about what you need to improve on by what they aren’t saying as well.
Strategy Spot has the lengthy list of the dos and don’ts of the Podcasting world. It can be difficult to figure out how to implement the rules. If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by it don’t worry, just give us a call. We can get you setup with a specialized plan that fits your budget.
