Podcast Launchpad with Angela Kelly Smith

Podcasting can get really lonely. But, when you’ve got a community to support each other and learn with, podcasting is a lot more fun. That’s what I just got from Podfest Expo last week!

Podfest brought together 1500 podcasters and people in the podcasting industry in Orlando, FL, for four days of networking, learning, and... partying! It was fabulous!

In this episode, I share:

• Some of the wonderful people I met (including several who have been guests on this show)
• 5 key takeaways you can use in your podcast right away
• Why you should go to Podfest next year

What are show notes? What are episode notes? How do you write compelling ones? And where do they go? (There is a debate!) In this episode, I cover it all!

“When your podcast is a marketing tool for your business, the goal is to get people onto your website. But, when you put the full show notes in the episode notes sections, and you have all of those links in the episode notes, what happens is that people can click the links right in their podcast app and never go to your website at all.”
