Posting Your First Episode!
Do you get jitters for doing something for the first time?
We all do, so I hear you when you’ve created your Podcast Channel, got your channel description done and even recorded your first episode.
Now to the final step is to publish it and go Live.
Easy peasy, just click on that button.
NOT
If you need help with creating your channel and some tips to get your started with your channel title and description. You can watch my YouTube on creating your podcast channel and what to do next :)
Before I share how you can post your first episode, you should totally check out Spotify for Podcasters. There’s more tools you can explore with and the best part is Video Podcasting made possible, however depending on your region.
Disclaimer: Make sure you already have a Spotify for Podcasters account before proceeding.
Create an Episode
You can record your episode within the website itself provided you’ve got your script/pointers ready and a couple of practice rounds prior :)
Remember, there's no rush into getting straight to recording. You have to first build your confidence through practice and pacing yourself.
Upload an Episode
You can also choose to upload a recorded episode or perhaps you’re repurposing your video and turning it into an episode.
Both are entirely possible!
Depends on the direction you’d like to have with your listeners.
YOU DO YOU BOO.
Adding Music
This is like putting the cherry on top. If you don’t have that cherry yet can you still give the cake?
I would say, YES!
Remember we’re not looking for perfection when it comes to posting your first episode. Perfection only comes through many rounds of practice and possibly mistakes like stumbling across our words or that nervous giggle you’re trying to hide but that microphone just had to pick it up.
It’s okay honey, you’ll live. LOL
Areas where you can add some music to spice things up are:
- intro & outro
- ads segment
- CTA
We try not to give too much spice because your listeners come to hear you not fancy beats and latest hits. We got the radio or Spotify for that :)
