A comprehensive guide for podcasters to setup their own podcast, submit it to iTunes and other directories and integrate it into their blog. Additional resources to audio editing, content, related conferences, books and tools that make things easier or save cost are also included.
This guide is for people who have a podcast or think about starting one and NOT for listeners to podcasts. There are good guides for podcast audience available, for example: The podcast listeners guide by Mathew Honan. You can also check out Apple iTunes, PodcastAlley.com, Digg Podcasts or any of the other podcast directories available on the internet.
Podcasting – once reserved for technical types or those with the financial backing to hire a podcasting specialist – has become mainstream and is no longer limited to geeks and early adopters. With this popularity and concurrent availability of tools, it has become easier to publish podcasts (although it is still not as easy as configuring a VCR).
Thanks to over 100 million iPods sold and the improvements to software and tools to make access and consumption of podcasts easier for regular people contribute to a steady growth of people who tune in to podcasts on a regular basis, which is soon reaching double digit percentages of the US population.
The increasing popularity of podcasting has fueled the number of available podcasts and the competition for audience share. Just having a podcast is no longer enough to attract listeners or engage subscribers.
Learn more about setting up your own podcast and promoting it on the internet and integrate it with your existing blog (if you don’t have one yet, create one, even if it is just for the podcast itself).
