Facebook and Instagram, we're down on October 4 2021, and it just came as I was setting up a new social media scheduling tool with buffer.com, and when I set up my Facebook and Instagram accounts, on buffer, unfortunately, what happened was, they wouldn't allow me to connect or authenticate, which is what you have to do. ., I had no problem connecting LinkedIn and Twitter. Because they of course, were not down. I was also thinking of connecting with Pinterest.

Buffer allows all of that. However, when I went to connect with Facebook, and Instagram, comma, unfortunately, I was stopped with error messages, and I immediately blamed buffer. I tried literally three to five times thinking there was a problem with my own Facebook and Instagram business accounts, because you need to have a business account and the Facebook business page in order to authenticate on Instagram. That was unfortunately not the case, but I did get mad at Buffer and immediately I started looking for alternatives,. Add to that, that I also had my mother's birthday yesterday and early in the morning, I did go on, and we're sure a happy birthday and wrote a very nice birthday wish to her. She called me and she told me that she was very appreciative of what I wrote, and she thanked me. I of course found there was no problem with Facebook.

When I went on Buffer a few hours later, I was shocked because I was able to post something earlier on my mother's Facebook page, so you can see that I was very frustrated that I couldn't even set up a social media account. I can only imagine how many other business people and entrepreneurs as well as podcasters felt the same way or thought that the same thing.

In this episode, Megan and I talk about what happened on Facebook and Instagram and how your podcast was affected. It's my mission to make podcasts successful and help podcasters succeed with audience growth, social media is very important for social gatherings, and growing your audience. Without social media, you will not grow your podcast or your audience or subscriber base, so we need social media. We especially need Facebook and Instagram, and we need to keep on growing our audiences on both those platforms.

I don't see podcasters using Twitter, Twitter anymore, as much as they used to. . but we do use LinkedIn, so I immediately went to LinkedIn and started posting a lot of stuff there, so in this podcast episode, I'm talking about how it affected your podcast, and if you had a marketing impact ., you can also answer the question. Thank you!

Although this is an audio podcast, you can watch the video presentation on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fkdd1HPTTsk

On June 26 2001, at the PodKnow 2021 conference, I spoke about the power of RSS feeds for your podcast, and how they really help your podcast grow. If you want your audience to grow, and you want new people to hear your content of your podcast, including every single episode from the very first one, no matter how long you did it to every future episode, the RSS feed is the most powerful marketing tool you'll ever need. And the most important thing to note, it is free. In this presentation, I not only talk about the RSS feeds for your podcast, and how to grow your audience with them. I also talk about Seinfeld and friends, Arrested Development and a lot of the sitcoms that were reruns from the 90s. And how syndication has not only helped those shows, grow even more. 

Remember that Seinfeld was on Hulu, but also, that the RSS feed is about syndication just like all of these TV shows. And you if you can recall, that syndication puts TV shows in other locations other than their original channel when he went to primetime. So you can absolutely use RSS feeds to take the same benefits of syndication as all the sitcoms. And just remember that iTunes also uses RSS feeds to show your content because you never need to upload your content of your podcast episodes to Apple or even Spotify. Because if whether you have anchor, or Buzzsprout, or if your podcast is hosted on Lipson or pod bean, the RSS feed is available from all those podcast hosting platforms. And it takes your content and puts it out on other people's websites, including Spotify and Apple iTunes, or Apple podcasts. 

That's the beauty of the RSS feed. And in this video, I actually show a presentation as well. So check out the video on YouTube as well. But if you're in your car, and you're listening to podcasts from your car, while you're traveling to work, you can also just listen to this presentation from the audio and you'll still get the benefits that I'm trying to give you in this podcast. So definitely watch the video. But if your podcast is hosted by Anchor, Buzzsprout, PodBean, Libsyn or if it's it's even on Apple iTunes, Apple Podcasts or Spotify or even Stitcher and iHeartRadio. Your RSS feed puts your episodes on all of those. So check out this episode. And please rate us on Apple podcast.
