[PODCAST] Should I Put My Podcast On YouTube?
Mar 09, 2021
I frequently hear this comment from podcasters who are looking to gain more listeners to their podcast. But truth be told, posting a podcast up to YouTube is more than just grabbing the audio file, attaching podcast cover art and letting your podcast play underneath the card.
In fact, when it comes to gaining more traction to your podcast, putting audio-only podcasts up on YouTube could be wasting valuable time for you, the podcaster. In fact, your time is better spent creating original content for the YouTube platform that is an actual video instead of repurposed static images.
Here's a breakdown of what is in today's program:
