Quick start Vs Planning Your Podcast Class - 1.26

The quick start program is where all you have is an idea, but you’re ready to get into podcast. I send you an affiliate link and your order your web hosting through me. To say “Thank you” I give you a 30 day pass to the School of Podcasting (with access to all of the videos). I also will install WordPress for you, and all the plugins you need to start podcasting (you will need to supply graphics and content). The planning your podcast class starting 5/3/2014 is a LIVE class (via webinar) where you can ask me live questions as I go through all the things you need to consider before launching a podcast.

Chiropratic Lawyer Spotlight - 9:10

Today we spotlight Guy Dimartino and the Chiropractic Lawyer podcast check it out in iTunes, or on his website.

Podcasting Boost SEO - 11:00

According to CBS most people stay on their site for 33 seconds. I went in and looked at my stats on my saw where I had people (11%) staying over an hour in some cases. There is a mass amount of people who DO stay for 2-5 minutes. That is still much longer than 33 seconds. When people stay on yoru site longer Google figures that your content is good and then boosts your ratings in Google searches.

WordPress 3.9 Playlists - 15:30

The new version of WordPress allows you to create playlists. This is great for podcasters who want to have a “start here” section. You can upload a few audio files and put them on a page and insert them as a playlist. The “cool” thing is it works on a phone, and the files are NOT downloadable – which means they have to sit and listen – keeping you on your site longer.

Be sure to put subcsribe buttons, and newsletter sign ups under the playlist

Busting iTunes Myths!

Rob Walch the VP of Podcasting Relations at Libsyn.com stated in the last episode of The Feed Rob debunks the “You have 8 weeks to get into New and Noteworthy” in iTunes myth.

Another one is “You need at least three episodes to be featured in iTunes” (not true – my Client Dr. Nina of Win the Diet War did it with one episode).

One podcast in New and Noteworthy was from 2008, and another one was from 2 years ago. If someone tells you different (typically charging you a lot of money) they are WRONG.
