Podcasting For Authors

Welcome to the second episode of Podcasting for Authors. In the last episode, we covered a lot of the basics - and mostly mental exercises. We looked at the importance of knowing your audience, your why, your goal, and brainstorming for your topic. Today, we’ll be looking at your podcast title, cover artwork, and media hosting options. Podcast Title The title for your podcast is an important thing to consider. For this, it may be obvious to you if you are basing the podcast on a book you wrote, but here are some things to consider first. The most important thing is how the title relates and appears to your audience. The title may be obvious to you and loyal followers, but maybe it involves some inside joke or information that an “outsider” may not quickly resonate with. Make sure that your title: Relates to your audience (refer back to ep 101) Clearly conveys the topic of your podcast without being too long Can fit onto the artwork and be clearly read (more on this later) You’ll want to avoid these mistakes
