Titles are not easy to make, even if you’re an experienced writer. With podcast episodes, the job of constructing the right title becomes even more challenging as you have to consider two (sometimes conflicting) factors: attractiveness to the target audience and attractiveness to the search engine. Every time you construct a title, you have to balance the two and once you’ve done that, try to fit everything within a limited character count! Tapping into her years of experience in podcasting and podcast production, Tracy Hazzard takes us through the basics of creating podcast episode titles that increase your listeners and get them to binge on your content. She goes through some of the most common mistakes that even experienced and top-notch podcasters commit and shares some best tips and practices on how to make your titles go from being so-so to becoming an audience magnet for your show.
