Using The Podcast Channel Feature

todd — Wed, 11 May 2011 08:17:00 +0000

One of the most powerful features of the PowerPress Podcast Plugin for WordPress is the ability to make custom podcast channels. I find the channels life savers, as I have 2 other host that have their own shows on my site.

Doing 2 separate shows myself in both Audio and Video, requires that I have a total of 4 rss feeds for just my two shows. 1 Audio and 1 Video feed for each show.

I found that my audience would subscribe to either the Audio or the Video feed of my show, but not both feeds more often than not. So ultimately you are giving your listeners and viewers a choice of content formats.

But here are the three things you really need to know about creating more podcast channels.

Example 1: You want to distribute both an mp3 and an mp4 version of your podcast. Use the default podcast channel for your mp3 media and create a custom channel for your mp4 media.

Example 2: You have a video podcast with multiple file formats. Use the default podcast channel for the main media that you want to appear on your blog (e.g. m4v). Create additional channels for the remaining formats and sizes (e.g. wmv, mov, mpeg).

Example 3: You create two versions of your podcast, a 20 minute summary and a full 2 hour episode. Use the default channel for your 20 minute summary episodes and create a new custom channel for your full length episodes.

If you are part of one of our communities keep your eyes open for our newsletter as they all contain critical information that will help grow your show.

todd — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 01:25:25 +0000

RawVoice has hired a full time sales manager and we want to make sure that all shows that works with us fully understand what they need to have in place in order to be considered for an advertising campaign. To often shows have great intentions yet when it comes time to put their shows on a proposal we are not able due to oversights by the content creator. In this presentation, I walk you through the steps you need to take to be ready to be considered for an advertising campaign.

I have also posted some supporting articles for content creators hosting their media at the following sites. Mevio, Podbean, Libsyn, Podomatic, Blog Talk Radio.
