Delaware Blogger Podcast

“Do not assume that people are seeing you. The more you can clarify, optimize, and engage your fans and strangers with branded marketing and merchandise, the better chance you have of being seen and then heard.” - Author: Loren Weisman

In this episode of the Delaware Blogger Podcast I talked about SEO for Podcasts.  As a Blogger SEO is always top of mind when it comes to having my blog found online, especially since there are over 600 million blogs in the world.  

Although podcasting is 1,428 times less competitive than blogging that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be concerned because podcasts are now being searched and found more often by the Google Bots.

SEO or Search Engine Optimization is how you are found on the internet or the world wide web and there are a few things that will help you to be found on the first page of Google:

• Transcribe your episodes
• Use keywords in the title and description
• Re-Purpose your content (Listen to episode # 268)
• Share detailed show notes transcribed in a blog post or website/webpage or in an article on LinkedIn or Medium
• Social shares on FREE platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
• Include Alt Text with Images
• Syndicate and automate social shares and mention or @ if promoting products or services
• Ask guests to share the episode on their sites 
• Include CTA such as “Thumbs up this video Subscribe, Share, or Leave a Review"

"Get your ideas on paper and study them. Do not let them go to waste!" Les Brown

Did you know that more than 78% of Americans are now familiar with podcasting and more than 55% of Americans having listened to a podcast in the past month? 

 Repurposing podcast content in other social media channels is how you can capture new audiences and introduce them to your brand.

While the most important benefit of repurposing podcast content is to broaden your brand and expand your exposure online.

Repurposing your podcast content into a blog post, YouTube video, social media post, newsletter and email provides great value including:

• SEO value
• Credibility as a SME
• Brand awareness

In this episode I covered 5 popular ways to repurpose your podcast content:

• Blog Post
• Video
• Graphics
• Social Media Posts
• eBooks & Courses

In this episode #266 of the Delaware Blogger Podcast I am talking about ways to improve creativity in podcasting whether it's writing show notes or recording an episode.

To create a successful podcasting series you need to work on something that will be able to spark the imagination of your listener and affect their emotions, since you won't be using visual aides, like used in videos or livestreams. 

You are working with an audience who is probably doing other things while listening so in order to keep them engaged you need to write good storytelling content.

Using pen and paper helps with the creative juices and writing with a pen activates brain regions involved with thought, language, and short-term memory.

To be really productive and creative you will want to set aside at least an hour to 2 hours to get through potential writer’s block or any other distractions.

There are several other options to consider and things to avoid which can be heard in this episode so take a listen and leave a comment with other ideas.

In this episode of Podcasting for Pre-Teens Part 2, I covered pointers that included:

• Creating a Podcast Calendar
• Branding Your Podcast
• Recording Your Episodes
• Editing Your Episodes
• Promoting Your Podcast

Creating a content calendar is a good idea as it helps you to stay organized and ensures that you have topics to discuss each week.  When life happens you should also have episodes in the bucket so that you can just simply publish them without worrying about last minute recordings.

Branding Your Podcast is important especially if you are starting from scratch.  You should make sure that your title, cover art, fonts and titles are reflective of your brand.  If you already have a brand, try to keep the same fonts, colors and logo designs for consistent branding.

Recording Your Episodes should be done in a quiet space because sound quality matters.  I also included 9 tips on getting the best audio quality which included:

1. Record your show in a quiet room or padded closet
2. Use headphones to monitor the recording
3. Be aware of popping sounds that can occur with words that start with the letter “P” or “B” - a pop filter can help you lessen those pops.
4. Keep the microphone 3-5 inches from your mouth
5. Practice with test recordings before recording an entire show
6.  Be aware of how fast you are speaking ; some podcasters get so nervous they speed through their shows and are hard to understand as a result.
7. Don't touch or tap the surface your microphone is sitting on; to avoid unwanted noises, use a boom mic stand (also called a boom arm) to help reduce shock noise and keep the microphone out of your way as you talk.
8. Try avoiding “ums” and “ahs”
9. When recording, have an outline or bullet list so you can stay on track with the episode’s focus

Editing Your Podcast can be done with Audacity for PC or Garageband for MAC and checking out a few YouTube videos can help you learn how to do so.

Promoting Your Podcast is by far the most important and time consuming task so creating a website or blog can help with the SEO.

Listen to the entire episode and remember, “sharing is caring” so please share with a family member, friend or following.

In this episode of The Delaware Blogger Podcast I share the breakdown of how much it costs to start a podcast which is $0!

Yes, if you have a computer and a Smartphone, you can begin a podcast for zero dollars.  Although you will probably want to upgrade your equipment as you grow your podcast, you shouldn't spend anything until you know that you are in it for the long haul.

To give you an idea of the breakdown in costs:

Recording equipment: $0

• Use your smartphone to record the audio with the app that is installed on your device.
• Rather than buying a microphone and headphones, use your Smartphone’s headset.

Software to edit the episodes: $0

• With a free download of Audacity or Garageband, you can edit episodes for free on your computer. 

Website: $0

• Use the free podcasting website that comes with your hosting if using Anchor.fm 

Podcast art: $0

• Using a free account on Canva, create custom cover art for your  podcast and episodes. 

Podcast hosting: $0

• Hosting on Anchor.FM is completely free

Yes, you can actually launch a show for $0, but is it worth it?  Next week we will cover upgrading your equipment for under $200 when you are ready to do so.  Please share this episode with your followers and leave a review.
