Chapter 5: Publishing and Distributing Your Podcast... Choosing a Podcast Platform... When you're ready to publish your podcast, the first step is choosing the right platform. We have been using Spotify FKA Anchor from day one. A podcast platform is a service that hosts your audio files and makes them accessible to listeners through various distribution channels. Some popular podcast hosting platforms include: Libsyn... Renowned for its reliability and range of plans, Libsyn caters to both beginners and experienced podcasters. Anchor Now Spotify... Known for its free hosting services, Anchor also offers tools for recording and editing podcasts directly on the platform. Analytics are amazing too, they also distribute to many different platforms. Podbean... With unlimited hosting services, Podbean is also user-friendly and offers monetization opportunities. Each platform has its own set of features, like analytics, marketing tools, and monetization options, so it’s important to choose one that fits your needs and goals. Distributing Your Podcast to Platforms like Apple, Spotify, and Others... After choosing a hosting platform, the next step is to distribute your podcast to popular listening platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and others. Here's a basic overview of how to do this: Submit to Apple Podcasts... Create an Apple ID, log in to iTunes Connect, and submit your podcast's RSS feed for approval. Most people listen to podcasts on iTunes. Don’t leave any money on the table. Distribute to Spotify... Most hosting platforms offer a direct way to submit your podcast to Spotify. Check your host’s dashboard for this option. Google Podcasts... Google Podcasts automatically fetches podcasts from the web, but you can also directly submit your feed for faster indexing. Remember, each platform has its own set of guidelines and approval processes, so it’s important to familiarize yourself with them. Understanding RSS Feeds... An RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed is crucial for podcast distribution. It is a file that contains your podcast's information - episodes, titles, descriptions, etc. When you upload a new episode to your hosting platform, the RSS feed automatically updates and informs subscriber platforms of the new content. Here’s what you need to understand about RSS feeds: Creation... Your podcast hosting platform usually generates an RSS feed for you. Consistency... Ensure your feed URL remains the same. Changing it can lead to losing subscribers. Content Updates... Whenever you publish a new episode, it's automatically added to your RSS feed and distributed to subscribed platforms.
