In Podcasting Power Hour, Jeff Townsend and his panel of experts tackle your questions on podcasting each week.
"I just knocked over a Barbie metal lunch box filled with bracelets, and I've been cursing loudly up until this point."
I'm the host of Podcasting Power Hour, and every week we tackle questions from listeners about podcasting. This week, we're talking about video. I've started posting short videos on YouTube and TikTok, and I'm curious to see how they perform. Our panel of experts is divided on the issue – some think video is a great way to reach new audiences, while others think it's not worth the effort. Personally, I'm still on the fence. I think it depends on the platform and the type of content you're creating. In any case, it's important to remember that it takes time to build an audience on any platform, so don't expect overnight success.
In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. The pros and cons of repurposing audio content for video platforms
2. The best ways to create video content for specific video platforms
3. The impact of video on discoverability and SEO
