Podcasting Insights with The Podmaster: growth advice for people and brands

In this episode of The Podmaster, we're taking you hand in hand through the murky world of the all-too-commonly-spotted podcast gurus and explaining why you should avoid taking their advice at all costs.

Hi! I'm Neal Veglio, The Podmaster, and I'm hoping by the end of this episode you'll know the difference between these so-called podcast experts who are actually just fake gurus, and the real deal podcasters like myself who are here to help you.

Until you learn about the tactics used by these self-serving opportunists and hear the 10 signs to help you identify genuine podcast experts, you'd be forgiven for falling for their marketing traps.

From inflated engagement metrics to superficial gains, I'm showing you the red flags to watch out for when seeking podcasting guidance.

Also, another podcasting tip, and the latest download numbers that correspond with global rankings so you can ignore that Listen Notes garbage rating you've seen...

YouTube Podcasting: Step-by-Step Guide to Ingesting Your Podcast into YouTube

In this episode of "The Podmaster", I'm sharing the process of adding your podcast to YouTube using its simple ingest system.

If you're a Libsyn customer, you probably won't need to go through any of this because they offer an easy way to add your show using their destinations page, and a similar tool is planned for Captivate customers.

But in case you're needing to add your own podcast to YouTube, here I am walking you through it.

To start with, you'll need to go into your show settings to obtain your RSS feed from your podcast hosting company.

Then, make sure you're logged into your YouTube account.

You'll be using the YouTube Studio tab to create and upload your podcast.

It goes without saying this is audio, so if you're the kind of person that needs to follow along these steps, here's the video version.

I'll also be sharing my views on audiograms and offering you suggestions for a far better use of your time!
