So First, Who Is This Right For?
You have a podcast, but you want to make sure that you are heard in as many places as possible
You know that time is more valuable than money, and want to make sure you never waste either
You ve tried to be everywhere but didn t get results from anywhere except itunes
Here s How Today Will Go We ll Go For 60 Minutes Plenty of time for Q&A at the end There will be a replay and link to download Slide Deck, stick around to get it
About Hani I live in Toronto, Canada, father of 2 girls, and love playing basketball! My 8 year old has already created and edited her first YouTube video, recorded a few (unreleased) podcasts, and even has her own WordPress blog In the past 4 years, I ve created 6 different automation tools for content creators with 3000+ users
So Why Do We Need To Repurpose?
Podcasting is amazing! It provides you one of the best opportunities to connect with your audience in the most personal way possible, but There are still a lot of people who don t listen to podcasts the traditional way who would still love your show Putting your show in other places where people hang out who wouldn t normally listen to podcasts means you get the most amount of reach (and creates the perception of being everywhere )
Here Are The 3 Places Your Podcast Must Be To Maximize Your Reach
The 3 Places Your website
Why YouTube? YouTube is the number 2 search engine in the world (over 3 billion searches per month) Almost 5 billion videos are watched on YouTube every single day YouTube gets over 30 million visitors per day
Why YouTube? (More Reasons) The average mobile viewing session lasts more than 40 minutes!!!!!!! The total number of hours of video watched on YouTube each month 3.25 billion
The interesting thing about YouTube viewers is that they don t always *watch* Many YouTube viewers will click play and then go on with whatever they re doing they re happy to just listen, if it s interesting
But that doesn t mean you should ignore the visuals It is YouTube after all
Ok, Here s What To Do
Convert the audio into a full length moving/ dynamic video (not just a static image with audio) *I ll show you an example in a second*
Include a call-to-action and link within the first two lines of your YouTube description (that way they re visible without the viewer having to click the show more button on YouTube) Include the http:// so the link will be clickable
Do your keyword research to find highly searched / low competition keywords Use Google Adwords Keyword Planner (free) Choose one main keyword and up to 9 other related keywords Make sure your title includes your main keyword (ideally near the beginning of the title) If you can include a related keyword in the title, that s a bonus Include your primary and related keywords in your description (but don t overdo it) Add your keywords as YouTube tags when uploading your video
Upload your transcript to YouTube (you can use a service like rev.com or temi.com to get your podcast transcribed)
Add all episodes into a single playlist and order the playlist from oldest to newest so listeners can listen in order (this will get you multiple views, as opposed to a single video view)
Monitor your YouTube stats to see how many views each episode gets and how long they re watching for (this will tell you what content your audience is most interested in and these analytics are better than the ones in itunes)
To actually get your podcast on YouTube, you have a few options
Option 1: Produce It Yourself You ll need some decent video editing software You ll have to put together your audio with a video on that software might require expensive plugins Takes a lot of time (do you have a lot of spare time???)
Option 2: Hire Someone Expensive! Video editors are incredible, but they charge what they re worth They ll give you the video, and you ll still have to deal with uploading it to YouTube
Option 3: Use repurpose.io Very inexpensive (remember the webinar bonus?) Super easy to use Doesn t require any video editing experience Posts to YouTube for you Let s Check It Out

Repurpose.io saves my team hours each week. It automatically creates beautiful videos for each EOFire episode and publishes them to YouTube and Facebook! - John Lee Dumas, EOFire.com
Moving Here s everything a testimonial. [podcast] The size to Youtube of the box is should gonna be expand game changing. vertically Just depending the last on couple the amount days I've of text gotten in the over testimonial a hundred box. You views can and simply in the click last on 60 the minutes... shape and 30 drag views!!! to expand. - Joe Pardo, superjoepardo.com
Why Facebook? Facebook LOVES videos (they re trying to compete with Google and YouTube) Native videos on Facebook have 10 times higher reach compared to YouTube links Facebook videos have increased 360% across everyone s news feeds 8 billion daily views for Facebook Video = 100% growth in 6 months 100 million hours of Facebook videos are watched every day
Facebook users are passionate!
Know Your Audience 60% of podcast listeners frequent social media platforms several times a day (higher than the national average) While on Facebook, most people don t want to click links that take them away from Facebook (they re there to be entertained, watch videos, look at pics, connect with family and friends) By having video content natively uploaded to Facebook, people can start listening right away without leaving Facebook plus they can continue watching while they scroll their newsfeed (this is a new feature, but it s awesome!)
Ok, Here s What To Do
Convert the audio into a full length moving/ dynamic video (not just a static image with audio) This can be the same video you used for YouTube
Upload the video to your Facebook page to get video analytics like views, average time watched, etc. (make sure you change the date to reflect when the episode was published on itunes)
Share the post from your Page to your personal profile for even more reach (all views will be tracked as part of the original video)
Tag guests in the comments so they get notified They re more likely to share that way, getting you extra reach
85% of Facebook Videos are viewed without sound, so having a dynamic video (especially an animated waveform) will encourage users to turn on sound to listen
Upload a transcript to Facebook so it appears as a closed-caption on top of the video that will help with people who don't turn the sound on
Include a call to action and link in your Facebook Post description send people to the notes page of that episode or to a free giveaway landing page so they can join your email list

Your website
But wait, isn t this obvious? You d be surprised how many people don t have a website for their podcast!
Why Should This Go On Your Website? SEO, SEO, SEO It s a one click play for non-technical users who don t know what a podcast is (or have never used itunes, Stitcher, or Google Play) It s a content channel for your brand why wouldn t you want it included on your site? You can t collect email addresses on Facebook or YouTube so having it on your site allows you to grow your email list Some people prefer to read blogs (text content) so providing a transcript makes this even more powerful
Ok, Here s What To Do
Make it super easy to listen by having the player near the top of the page with a clear PLAY button
Make sure your player is mobile friendly (2/3 of podcasts are listened to on a mobile phone or tablet)
Make it easy for them to subscribe to your podcast on itunes, Stitcher, and Google Play by adding buttons close to the player (where their focus is)
Include an opt-in box close to the player so you can engage with them further and send them emails about new episodes, products, or services you re offering
Give them a reason to visit your show notes page Benefit 1: Key takeaways with timestamps. Most listeners are coming back to your site to re-listen to an episode. By adding the key points with clickable timestamps on the show notes page, they re more likely to show up (and opt-in) Benefit 2: Add full transcripts (or a detailed summary with links to resources) this also helps with SEO
Optimize your post for SEO (Yoast SEO plugin helps if you re using WordPress)
