Should My Podcast Be On YouTube: Facts to Help


Listen Later

So, let’s dive into the wild world of podcasts on YouTube, shall we? This episode is all about the big question: should your podcast even be on YouTube? Spoiler alert: I don’t have a definitive answer, but I’m armed with some juicy facts to help you figure it out. I tackle the age-old debate between audio and video, and you'll learn that while YouTube has a gigantic audience, audio podcasts have a much better chance of getting discovered. I mean, who wouldn’t want 564 listeners to hunt down their content instead of just 38 viewers? So, grab your favorite snack, kick back, and let’s get into the absurdity of the podcasting landscape—because why not?

Clarify This Discussion

We are talking about put video (actual video not a static image).

For this discussion, a podcast is audio (even though it can be video).

Takeaways:
  • Podcasts on YouTube? Yeah, it's a thing, but don't kid yourself into thinking it's the only way.
  • The audio side of podcasting has way more potential listeners than video. Like, a LOT more.
  • If you want to grow your podcast, focus on audio first—it's cheaper and has less competition.
  • Joe Rogan and Mr. Beast didn't just pop up overnight; they hustled for years before their success.
  • Most folks prefer to listen rather than watch, so give the people what they want—audio content!
  • YouTube's algorithm can help, but if you want real connections, audio is where it's at.
  • If you have the time, budget and desire - by all means BE ON YouTube!
