Podtastic Audio: Crafting Compelling Content with Crystal Clear Audio for Indie Podcasters

Happy Podcasting! If you have a podcast, congrats! You're doing better than most people who do not have the courage to start just one episode yet. On today's show I show you that there are 4 million different podcast shows listed in the universe. But only a small percentage of them are still creating content. Most have died off due to a lot of different reasons. The article is from Amplifi. And they discuss the fact that although 4 million podcasts sounds large, only a small number of them are still in production.

Sound FX for your show! Do you spend hours and hours editing your podcast with sound effects? I have a folder of sounds and clips I've collected over the few years. On this episode I play some of theme live in real time. Using Cleanfeed Pro account. It creates a multifuncional sound effects "clips" section for your recordings. Just record and press play on the sounds you want. Save and your done.

How do you open your podcast episode? Everyone does it slightly different. For the Kris and Kristine Show, I had figured out how to edit audio in Audacity as in rearranging it around. That gave me an idea about how I should start the podcast episodes. As I was watching a lot of YouTube videos about my current sports car I had just purchased. On their videos they would start them with a teaser clip of something cool that happened with that video to get you hooked. So a quick teaser clip to launch the video you're about the watch. If that works for YouTube, why not bring that concept to podcasting. So on episode 1, I tried that idea. I found a short quick clip of something interesting we said on the show to put a clip of that on the very beginning of the episode to launch the listener into the episode. If you decide to make teaser clips for the start of the episode, make sure they aren't longer than maybe 10 seconds. You just need a to teaser the listener to hook them into finishing the rest of the episode. You create a loop and hook them in to finish said loop.

Then I was joined by Jackie and Danielle of the podcast No More Late Fees. It's a movie review podcast told from two ex employees of Blockbuster Video rentals. We talked about how they met and were they grew up. To the time they worked at Blockbuster. And since they are movie fans, I play my guess the movie clip game. Feel free to play along at home and see how you do too. Fun fact: All 3 of us in this interview were in 3 different states here in America. California - Texas - Florida.

YouTube's recent integration of RSS feeds has revolutionized the platform by embracing audio podcasting, offering creators like us on The Kris And Kristine Show unprecedented opportunities for growth and engagement. In this episode, we delve into our decision to leverage this feature, sharing the remarkable results we've witnessed over the past few weeks since implementing it. From expanded reach to increased audience interaction, the integration of our podcast directly onto YouTube has not only elevated our show's visibility but has also fostered a deeper connection with our listeners, signaling a promising trajectory for our content moving forward.

Placing an audio-only show with a still image onto a YouTube channel can offer several benefits for an audio podcaster:

1. Expanded Reach and Audience Growth: YouTube is one of the largest search engines in the world and a popular platform for consuming content. By uploading your audio podcast with a still image, you tap into YouTube's vast audience, potentially reaching new listeners who prefer consuming content through video platforms. This can lead to increased visibility and growth of your podcast audience. 2
2. SEO and Discoverability: YouTube videos are indexed by search engines like Google, which means your podcast episodes can appear in search results related to your podcast's topic or keywords. By optimizing your video titles, descriptions, and tags, you can improve the discoverability of your podcast content and attract more listeners who may not have found your audio podcast through traditional podcast directories.
3. Monetization Opportunities: YouTube offers various monetization options for content creators, including ad revenue, channel memberships, and merchandise sales. By building a presence on YouTube with your audio podcast, you can explore these monetization opportunities and diversify your revenue streams. Additionally, you can use YouTube's built-in analytics to gather insights about your audience and tailor your content or monetization strategy accordingly.
4. Enhanced Engagement and Interaction: YouTube provides a platform for fostering community engagement and interaction with your audience. Viewers can leave comments, like/dislike videos, and share content with others, allowing you to connect with your listeners on a deeper level. By actively engaging with your audience through YouTube's comment section and community features, you can build a loyal fan base and strengthen your podcast community.
5. Cross-Promotion and Brand Building: Uploading your audio podcast to YouTube allows you to cross-promote your content across different platforms and channels. You can share links to your YouTube videos on social media, your podcast website, and in email newsletters, driving traffic back to your YouTube channel and increasing exposure for your podcast. Additionally, having a presence on YouTube can enhance your podcast's brand visibility and credibility, establishing you as a reputable content creator in your niche.

Overall, placing your audio-only show with a still image onto a YouTube channel can offer numerous benefits for audio podcasters, including expanded reach, improved discoverability, monetization opportunities, enhanced engagement, and cross-promotion capabilities.

Happy Podcasting! Thanks you for listening today, I really appreciate it! In the world on the "indie-hobby" podcaster I've noticed that most of you are not broadcasters. The friendly "chatcast" type of shows are fine, but from a listener perspective they dont seem to grab anybodys attention. There is nothing to dazzle the audience. There is a way of thinking that might help when you record your next episode. Think of how you can be a better Presenter versus having a simple conversation with friends.

In the vast world of podcasting, creators have the freedom to express their ideas, interview guests, and engage in insightful conversations. While many podcasters adopt a conversational approach with their guests or co-hosts, there is merit in adopting a broadcaster mindset and focusing on the audience. In this episode, we will explore the reasons why podcasters should consider projecting their content to the audience and why it can lead to a more impactful podcasting experience.

Broadcasters have a clear purpose—to entertain, inform, or inspire their audience. They craft their content to captivate and engage a wide range of listeners. Similarly, podcasters can benefit from adopting this mindset by understanding the importance of catering to their audience's needs and interests. By thinking like a broadcaster, podcasters can create content that resonates with their target demographic and offers value to a broader audience.

When podcasters shift their focus from personal conversations to projecting their content to the audience, they increase their chances of reaching a wider audience. Broadcasting content that is relatable and valuable to a diverse range of listeners can attract new followers and expand the podcast's reach. By considering the audience's perspective and tailoring the content accordingly, podcasters can maximize their impact and grow their listener base.
