How to Promote Your Podcast
Creating an RSS feed for your podcasts enables anyone with a podcast aggregator to subscribe to your podcast. But an RSS feed won’t get your podcast into the directories that most people browse. To list your podcast in these directories, you’ll have to submit a link to your podcast manually to each of the most popular directory sites.
How to Submit a Podcast to iTunes
The podcast directory on iTunes is by far the most popular podcast directory, so getting your podcast listed on iTunes is crucial to attracting listeners. To submit your podcast to iTunes:
- Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store.
- Go to the Podcasts directory page.
- Click on the Submit a Podcast link, which is located in an icon in the middle of the page and in the Learn More menu at the bottom left of the page.
- You’ll be taken to a page that asks you to enter the URL of your podcast feed. Enter the URL feed, then follow the directions to complete your submission.
Submitting Podcasts to Other Directories
Once you’ve listed your podcast in the iTunes directory, it’s a good idea to add your podcast to the other popular directories listed below. You’ll first have to register and become a member of each site. All of them will guide you through the process of submitting your podcast to its directory.
