Choosing Your Podcast Publishing Style
There are various ways to publish your podcast, each with their own pros and cons. Today we’re getting a bit more Blubrry specific and will be reviewing the ways that you can publish your podcast with Blubrry’s tools and services, specifically our WordPress plugin and internal dashboard publishing platform.
Today’s Hosts: Mike Dell and Todd Cochrane
Clear up any preconceiving notions about publishing with clear explanations
Publishing Your Podcast … With Blubrry’s Two Publishing Options
Via PowerPress and Blubrry Publisher
PowerPress
- Blubrry PowerPress on a self-hosted WordPress site (We like to call this the Blubrry Way)
- Lets you own and control the feed address apart from any company or 3rd party
- Better for SEO (especially for episode search)
- Protecting yourself; as long as you have that domain and site, your podcast lives!
- Gives you place to send your listeners for more information and to know where you will be no matter what happens on the app
- Blubrry PowerPress on a Blubrry hosted WordPress site
- Free with hosting plans at Blubrry
- Most of the advantages of a self hosted site.
- Managed WordPress
- Very fast feeds and site loading
- A bit restrictive, no additional plugins or themes
- Use your own domain with a advanced plan or above at Blubrry
Blubrry Publisher
- Dashboard Publishing
- No website but a landing page on Blubrry.com’s directory
- Quicklinks page could also be a good landing page (although that isn’t really it’s function)
- Publish everything right on your Blubrry dashboard
- Can be used to get started quickly
- Hosting files only and using some other way to generate an RSS feed (Squarespace, handwriting your own RSS or some other website support for podcasting)
- Not used too much
- Blubrry would only be hosting files and collecting your stats.
- Most other features would not be used at Blubrry
