Best Practice: Backups – Have a Backup Strategy!
- Back up your media files JUST in case
- Get a removable hard drive and back up there. (Or just a thumb drive. You can get them 1tb or bigger now!)
- Backup to the cloud somewhere like Google Drive, Dropbox or AWS cold storage.
- Back up your RSS feed as a text file.
- Load your feed in Chrome. (other browser won’t work the same) then, select all and paste it in a text doc.
- If you host with Blubrry and use PowerPress, we also keep a copy of your feed for you.
Blubrry News:
- Make Money! – Programmatic Advertising available to all hosting customers

- More releases coming next week and we’ll see you at Podcast Movement the week after that.
- Todd, Mike, MacKenzie and Chau will be at Podcast Movement in Dallas next week. IF you are there, drop by and say HI and pick up some swag.
- This show will be from the Podcast Movement show floor next week (a different format I’m sure)
Blubrry Pro Tip: Private Podcasting
Question of the Week:
From Ethan: Our podcast network started with one show. These days we have 7 shows in the network, but we’re storing all those shows in the same Blubrry folder. Not great for content management. Can we re-organize our Blubrry catalog of shows into different folders? Would that affect the URL of the MP3s? Will PowerPress show us the new folders?
Answer:
Yes!
With our pro hosting plan and “Multi-program mode” in PowerPress you can separate which folders you upload shows to. This keeps the media separate and it also keeps the stats separate. Put in a ticket at blubrry.com/support and we can setup a time to help you get that setup.
Got a question you’d like us to answer on the show? Drop an email to mike@blubrry.com (audio, text, video) and we may use it. You can also post a question on the Blubrry Podcasting Facebook group.
The best place for support with any Blubrry products/services is our ticket system (https://blubrry.com/support/). Tickets give the whole team access rather than direct emails or calls.
