Ash and Kane talk through the reasons you need to focus on the audio listeners of your podcast. Whilst a video podcast is important in 2024, Ash and Kane explain why it’s essential you don’t neglect your core listenership in favour of platforms like YouTube.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When launching focus on the Apple charts, this is where you want to be directing your downloads.
- Apple podcasts are decentralised, you are able to speak freely and the algorithms won’t disrupt your feed.
- YouTube has a lot of rules and things it will de-platform or demonetise you for.
- Although YouTube doesn’t want to be seen as censoring content, it does so in the form of shadow banning and reducing reach.
- Retention on audio is higher than video, generally because listeners have made a conscious choice to find and listen to that content. It hasn’t been suggested by an algorithm.
- Dynamic ads allow you to resell your content to multiple people.
