Podcasting in 3 Easy Steps

#18 How to include video in your podcast


Listen Later

Whilst we’re big fans of audio-only here at Podcasting in 3 Easy Steps, there’s no escaping that video is one of the most effective ways to build an audience.

So here are three easy steps for including video as part of your podcast from the very beginning.

  1. Use short videos to help promote your podcast. Nothing fancy, just you telling people what’s in the latest episode. You can upload to all the social media platforms that use video (Instagram Reels/Stories, TikTok, Pinterest & YouTube Shorts).
  2. Get your audio-only podcast on YouTube. Using Headliner, Wavve or Canva you can convert your audio file into a video (combining the audio with your podcast artwork and/or a template). See below for our own example.
  3. Record using a video platform such as Riverside.
