Here's how to get that podcast
that you're thinking of starting
onto iTunes and Spotify in about
10 minutes. Go to a website
called Anchor.fm
It's just so easy.
It's basically owned by Spotify.
You can make a podcast, you
create an account
and then it takes you through
the simple steps to do it, so
start by making episodes so you
can even record directly into
here, you can even just use your
phone and use their app to
record the podcast, or you can
just drag and drop your own
pre-recorded stuff into it.
You can ask people for voice
messages to include in your
podcast by sending them the
link.
You can have a library of music
or audio that you use regularly,
or you can use transitions, then
click save episode and then move
on to the next step, which is
the podcast set up.
So you give a name, so I've put
'fun podcast'... Podcast
description...
If you don't have one already,
you can make some cover art
within the app.
You can search for an image on
Unsplash, which is a
copyright-free photography
website.
So if I searched 'fun' it's a
confetti picture, then it comes
out with some fonts and it's
done.
Click 'OK', so then when you
publish an episode and for the
first one it can just be a
trailer of like 20 seconds to
get it going, it'll then send
your podcast to all of the major
podcast platforms.
So Spotify, Apple Podcasts,
Breaker, Google Podcasts, Pocket
Casts, all the ones on here you
can see and it does
automatically, which is awesome
and such a time saver.
Also whenever you data update it
in the Anchor app, it will
reflect changes on all the
different platforms.
Lastly, you can also monetise
your podcast. For this, Anchor
will find brands that are in
your category that you can link
up to and they'll pay you to
promote them essentially all
within the app.
You can do it straight away with
Anchor themselves.
They pay $15 for 1000 listens,
which isn't great.
So I recommend, especially when
you're starting off, do not
monetise it.
Thanks for watching.
I hope that helps.
Quick plug:
This is our podcast that we've
just launched two episodes and
we talk about entrepreneurship
and how it really is to start
your own company, and give
practical advice.
Last one was, should you start
your own business?
Give it a listen.
It's just Anchor.fm/peakreach
and it's on Spotify and Apple
Podcasts. Cheers and I'll talk
to you soon.
