Episode 81: Expert Tips on How to Distribute Your Podcast
Audio specialist Suze Cooper provides great advice to help you stand out in a saturated market.
In the classic 1989 film Field of Dreams, there’s a scene where Kevin Costner’s character is convinced to create a baseball diamond in the middle of his cornfield. “Build it, and they will come,” a voice whispers, and the rest is history.
Of course, when it comes to great content like podcasts, just because you create it doesn’t mean people are going to find it. You have to know how to market and distribute it, too.
"The first thing you need to think about is: 'Who is my audience, where are they listening, and is this podcast host going to distribute in a place where I'm going to get the listeners I need?'"– Suze Cooper, Audio Specialist
In the latest episode of the Social Angle podcast, which first aired during a live chat on Twitter Spaces, ASI Media’s Vinnie Driscoll chats with multi-talented audio specialist Suze Cooper about best practices on how to do just that. Cooper provides some great practical advice on how to get your podcast found, including best directories for storage, SEO tips and, of course, how to use social media for promotion.
If you’ve got a great podcast but have no idea how to distribute it, this is the Social Angle you’ve been waiting for!
