Godcasting 101: Promoting Your Podcast Part 1

This portion of the series went a little long so I’ve divided it into two parts. That’s also why it was late. In this podcast I talk about ways to promote your podcast. Since there is no feedback from this week, I’ll release part two tomorrow. Here’s a quick rundown of all of them that topics will be covered in both parts:

Promote Your Podcast Using

• Word of mouth
• Commenting on other blogs
• Commenting on other podcasts
• Trackbacks or pingback to other blogs and podcasts
• Yahoo and Google groups
• Social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace
• RSS feeds
• Mailing lists
• Forums
• Voicemail
• Email

All of these methods can be used to promote your podcast. Listen in and get some ideas. I probably should take my own advice when it comes to doing this because I only use a few of the methods I mention.

Next week in part 11 I’ll cover how to retain regular listeners to your podcast.
