Show Notes
Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about getting listed in podcast directories. People listen to podcasts on hundreds of different apps and platforms. In a previous episode, we learned that you only need to upload your content to one place - your hosting account - and it’ll appear in all these places automatically. But how do we make sure these directories know our podcast exists in the first place? For this, we use a unique URL called an RSS feed. You’ll get one of these when you create your show in your hosting account. You can easily submit this to any directory or app you like. And because Apple Podcasts and Spotify account for about 65% of global podcast listening, you’re over halfway there simply by being listed in those two. And there’s more good news. Being listed in Apple Podcasts means you’ll automatically be listed in almost all of the other apps and directories out there. So what initially might’ve looked like a mammoth task is really just a few minutes of work! For a deeper dive on this topic, head on over to ThePodcastHost.com/directories
