00:00:01.770 --> 00:00:06.900
The new platform built for podcast creators, Podmation.
2
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:39.009
Discover, promote, connect, and grow. What up, everybody? Paul Abernathy here.
3
00:00:40.450 --> 00:00:42.869
Welcome to another podcast. Today, I'm going to be talking
4
00:00:42.890 --> 00:00:47.509
about podmation. So let me ask you something. How many
5
00:00:47.770 --> 00:00:53.759
incredible podcasts are being created every day that nobody ever discovers?
6
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:56.259
You ever ask yourself that? If you're a podcast creator
7
00:00:56.460 --> 00:00:58.899
or a video creator, or maybe just you do videos
8
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:00.960
on YouTube, or you do your.
9
00:01:00.859 --> 00:01:05.689
Own full-fledged audio podcast, Think about all the work that
10
00:01:05.750 --> 00:01:09.090
goes into producing a podcast. If you're an editable type
11
00:01:09.129 --> 00:01:12.629
of person where you just got to edit everything that
12
00:01:12.689 --> 00:01:15.000
you create, you can't get it off the cuff, and
13
00:01:15.019 --> 00:01:17.140
you just got to keep doing it. Or maybe the
14
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.620
research that you have to do, then you got to
15
00:01:19.659 --> 00:01:21.799
record it. Then you got to, again, edit it. Then
16
00:01:21.819 --> 00:01:24.659
you got to publish it. And then, God, then you
17
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:25.359
got to promote it.
18
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:26.659
Because even if.
19
00:01:26.620 --> 00:01:29.890
You use a podcast hosting platform, yeah, they may have
20
00:01:29.909 --> 00:01:33.390
a little bit of a front-facing effect. public page, but
21
00:01:33.469 --> 00:01:38.000
really all they're doing is holding your podcast audible file
22
00:01:38.060 --> 00:01:41.140
or video in the cloud, right? Even on YouTube, if
23
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:43.000
you create a video, that doesn't mean that people are
24
00:01:43.019 --> 00:01:45.819
going to find it. They may come up in the algorithm,
25
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.379
but really it's just a hosting platform. All it's doing
26
00:01:48.420 --> 00:01:52.790
is hosting this content that you put all this effort in. Now, granted, organically,
27
00:01:52.829 --> 00:01:55.010
you get some clicks and if you have followers, they
28
00:01:55.069 --> 00:01:57.290
may still see it and click on it. But if
29
00:01:57.310 --> 00:02:00.769
you're starting from scratch or you're trying to grow a platform,
30
00:02:01.510 --> 00:02:05.719
and make it bigger, the challenge is you can create it,
31
00:02:06.469 --> 00:02:09.669
you can do the research, record it, edit it, publish it,
32
00:02:09.689 --> 00:02:11.349
but how do you promote it?
33
00:02:11.620 --> 00:02:12.840
I mean, how's it going to get found?
34
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:17.860
And after all that effort, many creators still struggle to
35
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:22.599
actually build an audience. Now, that is exactly why we
36
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.300
created podmation.com.
37
00:02:26.659 --> 00:02:27.939
Now, We wanted to.
38
00:02:27.939 --> 00:02:32.879
Build something different, not another podcast or videocast hosting company
39
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:33.500
or platform.
40
00:02:33.659 --> 00:02:34.479
We have tons of those.
41
00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:39.180
I mean, you can get them whether it's RSS systems
42
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:43.419
or whatever. You can get tons of those and they'll
43
00:02:43.580 --> 00:02:47.550
keep your audio files in the cloud. We didn't want
44
00:02:47.569 --> 00:02:49.729
to redo that. There's tons of free ones out there
45
00:02:49.770 --> 00:02:53.530
that offer those type of things. So That is not
46
00:02:53.569 --> 00:02:55.830
what we, because that's easy. And if you already have
47
00:02:55.870 --> 00:02:58.379
a podcast and you're obviously using, now I use Spreaker,
48
00:02:58.659 --> 00:03:03.740
for example. And so Podmation is not replacing where the
49
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.360
repository of your files are actually kept. That's where we
50
00:03:07.979 --> 00:03:13.310
differentiate ourselves. We wanted to build something totally different. Not an, again,
51
00:03:13.389 --> 00:03:18.189
not another podcast hosting company. And certainly my main focus
52
00:03:18.250 --> 00:03:21.939
was not to create another directory for that all it
53
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.520
does is just simply list podcasts.
54
00:03:25.139 --> 00:03:25.520
That's it.
55
00:03:26.020 --> 00:03:28.370
And that is really what you get on Spotify. That's
56
00:03:28.379 --> 00:03:29.610
what you get on all of the other ones. All
57
00:03:29.650 --> 00:03:32.469
they do is show a list of podcasts. So you
58
00:03:32.490 --> 00:03:36.689
get lost in this list. Unless you go actively searching
59
00:03:36.729 --> 00:03:39.830
and clicking through it, there is no way that you're
60
00:03:39.849 --> 00:03:40.530
going to get promotion.
61
00:03:40.550 --> 00:03:44.379
And we're not all Joe Rogans, okay? So how do
62
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:44.939
you get found?
63
00:03:45.810 --> 00:03:50.030
We wanted a platform that actually gives creators the tools
64
00:03:50.090 --> 00:03:54.530
to help promote their content, connect with other podcasters, and
65
00:03:54.590 --> 00:03:59.110
create new opportunities to have their podcast or their videocast found.
66
00:03:59.870 --> 00:04:04.710
That's really what the target was, and we've been busy. Today,
67
00:04:04.830 --> 00:04:09.050
I wanted to introduce to you features we developed and
68
00:04:09.189 --> 00:04:14.129
show you how Podmation can become a valuable part of
69
00:04:14.169 --> 00:04:17.579
your podcasting journey. So let's kind of start it. And
70
00:04:17.620 --> 00:04:19.699
I'll kind of do step by step because there are
71
00:04:19.819 --> 00:04:22.060
so many things to unpack here. And I want to
72
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.230
get to as quickly as I can for you. Now,
73
00:04:24.870 -->
Load full transcript
00:04:28.069
getting your podcast discovered. It's great to create it. First,
74
00:04:28.689 --> 00:04:35.389
Podmation works alongside your existing podcast hosting service. Okay. Like again,
75
00:04:35.529 --> 00:04:37.970
I use Spreaker. There's tons of them out there that
76
00:04:38.009 --> 00:04:41.649
are free that you can host your Audible files that
77
00:04:41.730 --> 00:04:44.430
put them up in the cloud. Okay. That's not what
78
00:04:44.470 --> 00:04:48.139
we do. You don't have to move your podcast. You
79
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.699
don't have to move or abandon the platform that you're
80
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.759
already using. Maybe you're comfortable with it. Most of those
81
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.980
platforms like Spreaker and other ones offer what's called an
82
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.120
RSS feed. And what we do is we've developed what's
83
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:04.939
called an RSS feed integration.
84
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:06.660
So podmation.
85
00:05:07.310 --> 00:05:13.019
Can import your podcast information and episodes, helping you establish
86
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:17.639
another online presence, not just a directory of whoever's hosting
87
00:05:17.660 --> 00:05:20.519
your podcast, which may or may not get you traffic.
88
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:25.579
We have created a way to help you create endless
89
00:05:25.620 --> 00:05:29.639
pages that are SEO optimized, that gets pulled in, that
90
00:05:29.689 --> 00:05:33.589
you can start sharing and having indexed and get noticed.
91
00:05:34.550 --> 00:05:38.889
Now, the creators... Get their own dashboard.
92
00:05:39.170 --> 00:05:43.790
To manage their podcast details, their review episodes, and access
93
00:05:43.870 --> 00:05:44.870
promotional tools.
94
00:05:44.910 --> 00:05:47.149
That's right. We're giving you promotional tools.
95
00:05:47.730 --> 00:05:53.990
We support audio podcasts, video-related content like from YouTube, and
96
00:05:54.110 --> 00:05:57.610
links to external listening and viewing platforms like you may
97
00:05:57.629 --> 00:06:00.230
already have a show on Spotify. So why would we
98
00:06:00.370 --> 00:06:04.040
not want to give you the ability to link to
99
00:06:04.060 --> 00:06:07.459
the platform that we're pulling the RSS feed from? That
100
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:10.139
linking process is also going to help you get noticed
101
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:14.779
and build up authority. Now, we also provide, now check
102
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:19.949
this out, we also provide individual podcasts and episode pages,
103
00:06:20.750 --> 00:06:27.050
organized categories, and search-friendly, yes, I said it, search-friendly content structures.
104
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:31.579
But here's where things get really interesting. We've introduced a
105
00:06:31.660 --> 00:06:39.089
feature called topic discovery. So unlike other podcast listening platforms, Spotify, Spreaker, Deezer,
106
00:06:39.189 --> 00:06:42.889
all those that simply are nothing more than a repository,
107
00:06:43.069 --> 00:06:45.970
and they give you the front face and directory, but
108
00:06:46.009 --> 00:06:50.889
their real focus was to keep the information on the internet,
109
00:06:51.129 --> 00:06:54.430
but not really to promote it. So what we created
110
00:06:54.470 --> 00:06:57.720
was this thing called topic discovery. Instead of searching only
111
00:06:57.779 --> 00:07:01.620
for the name of the podcast, the visitors can actually
112
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:06.240
search for subjects they're actually interested in. So let's say
113
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:10.930
somebody wants to learn about artificial intelligence, maybe electrical safety,
114
00:07:11.009 --> 00:07:15.449
maybe entrepreneurship, or maybe home improvement. They can search those
115
00:07:15.550 --> 00:07:21.240
subjects and discover relative topics relevant episodes based on the
116
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:26.430
information that had been indexed in podmation. Now, obviously as
117
00:07:26.490 --> 00:07:29.810
podmation grows, as we get more creators, it gives more
118
00:07:29.850 --> 00:07:33.610
opportunities to keep people within the ecosystem and help them
119
00:07:33.689 --> 00:07:36.769
learn the different podcasts and help cross promote. Okay. So
120
00:07:37.449 --> 00:07:43.839
when available creator approved transcript information can also contribute to
121
00:07:43.899 --> 00:07:47.730
those results. So if you have transcript or you elect
122
00:07:47.769 --> 00:07:49.910
to allow it to be public or it pulls it
123
00:07:49.970 --> 00:07:53.500
in from whatever platform you're using, like I use Spreaker
124
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:55.720
and it'll pull in every, it's going to allow that
125
00:07:55.740 --> 00:07:59.899
to be indexable as well. Now imagine you produced a
126
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.519
hundred podcast episodes over the years, let's say.
127
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.079
Now I've produced over a thousand.
128
00:08:05.300 --> 00:08:09.779
One of those older episodes might contain exactly what somebody
129
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.170
wants to learn today, but it gets buried in their database.
130
00:08:13.790 --> 00:08:19.110
kind of bland directory concept. So topic discovery gives that
131
00:08:19.310 --> 00:08:24.290
episode another opportunity to actually be found and generate interest
132
00:08:24.529 --> 00:08:28.939
in viewers and listeners. That's the whole idea of topic discovery.
133
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:34.080
Your content should continue creating opportunities long after the original
134
00:08:34.139 --> 00:08:38.039
publication date. That is something that I wanted to make
135
00:08:38.100 --> 00:08:41.779
sure that we focused heavily on. Now, here's another tool
136
00:08:41.820 --> 00:08:46.059
that we're giving you in Podmation. It is the Promotion Studio.
137
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.090
So let's talk about one of my favorite features, Promotion Studio.
138
00:08:50.250 --> 00:08:54.429
Every podcast knows promoting episodes can be time consuming, especially
139
00:08:54.470 --> 00:08:57.509
when you need a graphic to, you know, share on
140
00:08:57.549 --> 00:09:00.850
different social media platforms. So what we did was we
141
00:09:00.970 --> 00:09:05.600
built in a promotional design tool directly into Podmation. We
142
00:09:05.629 --> 00:09:12.850
have 24 customizable promotional templates. with varying sizes. They're clean, professional.
143
00:09:13.169 --> 00:09:15.389
We have some that are bold and colorful and high
144
00:09:15.460 --> 00:09:19.740
impact design. You can customize the headline, the colors, the artwork,
145
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:23.179
the promotional message. Even the call to action can be changed.
146
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.340
Want to advertise a new episode?
147
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:28.139
That's great.
148
00:09:28.659 --> 00:09:31.360
Want to introduce our podcast to a new audience? You
149
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:36.289
can do that too. And there's another exciting feature. Every
150
00:09:36.370 --> 00:09:42.360
design supports three formats, square graphics for social media, landscape
151
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:46.519
graphics for wider promotional layouts, and then vertical graphics for
152
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:52.360
those mobile oriented like Instagram and TikTok. Together, that's over
153
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.870
72 potential designed and format combinations that you can customize.
154
00:09:57.029 --> 00:10:01.460
And we're always adding more. Also, we are making it
155
00:10:01.539 --> 00:10:04.240
so that all of these graphics to help keep it
156
00:10:04.299 --> 00:10:08.899
very SEO optimized. Because remember, you're creating these individual pages
157
00:10:08.980 --> 00:10:11.679
for every episode that is out there on the Internet.
158
00:10:12.350 --> 00:10:15.110
that nobody else is doing. We're doing this for you
159
00:10:15.350 --> 00:10:18.179
in the back end. So it's not just having your
160
00:10:18.220 --> 00:10:22.720
podcast showing up on Spotify. We're actively creating additional pages
161
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.019
that can be out there that are searchable. And whether
162
00:10:26.059 --> 00:10:29.259
it's our database or other databases. But what we're doing
163
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:31.899
with the graphics is whatever graphic you put in, we're
164
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.629
automatically changing that to a WebP image. Why?
165
00:10:34.690 --> 00:10:38.389
Because they load so much quicker. Speed is the key.
166
00:10:39.070 --> 00:10:42.919
So, We've also incorporated QR codes into our promotional tools
167
00:10:42.940 --> 00:10:45.899
so you can share individual episodes, your overall podcast or
168
00:10:45.950 --> 00:10:49.690
video cast. We've created that in there. So imagine that
169
00:10:49.730 --> 00:10:52.509
you're attending some kind of conference with a graphic promoting
170
00:10:52.529 --> 00:10:53.129
your podcast.
171
00:10:53.169 --> 00:10:54.629
Someone scans that QR code.
172
00:10:55.049 --> 00:10:57.519
Rather than you have to tell them, they can scan it,
173
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.080
go right to your content, and then they can share
174
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.759
it because we give you ways to share every episode,
175
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:06.559
every podcast. The whole idea behind the Promotion Studio program
176
00:11:07.149 --> 00:11:13.090
is to make creating attractive promotional content easier, even if
177
00:11:13.129 --> 00:11:16.980
you're not a graphic designer. Now, we also are giving
178
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.460
you what's called a professional podcast media kit. Why is
179
00:11:20.500 --> 00:11:23.480
this important? Because some of your shows, you might have
180
00:11:23.539 --> 00:11:27.440
potential sponsors. Maybe you want to invite some industry guest
181
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:30.399
or professional to appear on your podcast. And you don't
182
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.059
just want a quirky little graphic. You want something that
183
00:11:33.100 --> 00:11:36.539
looks professional that you can send to them to introduce
184
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:40.200
yourself professionally to them. That's what we created the media
185
00:11:40.259 --> 00:11:43.019
kit for. and it can tell them about your show.
186
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:47.490
You can do it in a PDF to print. Instead
187
00:11:47.549 --> 00:11:50.389
of sending somebody an email, you can attach the PDF,
188
00:11:50.590 --> 00:11:52.629
and they can see it and print it out. It's
189
00:11:52.669 --> 00:11:55.529
just another tool that makes sense for creators to help
190
00:11:55.629 --> 00:12:00.169
grow beyond simply publishing an episode. Now you want to
191
00:12:00.210 --> 00:12:03.470
get that exposure. But not only that, there's something else
192
00:12:03.490 --> 00:12:05.950
that we've done that is revolutionary when it comes to
193
00:12:06.070 --> 00:12:10.629
sharing podcasts and video content. Instead of it being organically found,
194
00:12:10.669 --> 00:12:13.720
let's say, on YouTube and hope that you're going to
195
00:12:13.740 --> 00:12:16.759
get people that stumble on it, or, you know, you
196
00:12:16.779 --> 00:12:19.080
do it on a podcast platform and you hope people
197
00:12:19.220 --> 00:12:24.299
find your podcast episode, right? We created something called Podmation
198
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:29.539
Growth Center. Now, here's something I think, I think could
199
00:12:29.580 --> 00:12:32.139
become one of the most valuable parts of our entire
200
00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:35.840
platform is the growth center. I believe podcast creators have
201
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:37.659
tremendous opportunities.
202
00:12:37.179 --> 00:12:39.879
To help one another. This isn't a competition. This is
203
00:12:39.940 --> 00:12:42.120
helping each other. Think about it.
204
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:46.730
If you produce a
podcast about entrepreneurship, chances are your
205
00:12:46.950 --> 00:12:51.850
audience might also enjoy podcasts about leadership, about marketing, maybe
206
00:12:51.889 --> 00:12:55.980
even business development. So why not create opportunities for creators
207
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.600
to recommend other creators who may specialize in marketing or
208
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:03.009
leadership or business development or something else? Remember, if they're
209
00:13:03.029 --> 00:13:06.990
listening to your content, you're being a good steward by
210
00:13:07.149 --> 00:13:10.049
sharing other people's content and you get to choose what
211
00:13:10.090 --> 00:13:16.539
you share. That's exactly what our cross promotional feature does.
212
00:13:17.460 --> 00:13:22.559
Participating creators can recommend up to three other podcasts on
213
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:24.230
their public pages.
214
00:13:24.950 --> 00:13:26.269
So that also gets indexed.
215
00:13:26.429 --> 00:13:32.350
And it's basically you sharing somebody else, somebody else's page
216
00:13:32.610 --> 00:13:35.179
or somebody else's podcast with them. When they come and
217
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:38.299
see your public facing page, it shares other people that
218
00:13:38.340 --> 00:13:41.019
helps discover other podcasters and they can do the same
219
00:13:41.100 --> 00:13:45.559
for you. And, and, and it creates a, a framework
220
00:13:45.659 --> 00:13:48.779
where it's a giver's gain and everybody gains by sharing
221
00:13:48.820 --> 00:13:50.039
because we all share.
222
00:13:50.340 --> 00:13:53.649
There isn't a competition here. These are just podcasts. These
223
00:13:53.669 --> 00:13:55.190
are episodes that people can learn from.
224
00:13:56.429 --> 00:14:00.110
Now, somebody discovers your podcast could also discover another creator
225
00:14:00.570 --> 00:14:04.919
you've recommended. And those recommendations can introduce audiences to additional
226
00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:06.399
content they may enjoy.
227
00:14:06.419 --> 00:14:10.379
They didn't even know it exists. So we also.
228
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:14.059
Created what's called Invite a Creator feature. So if you
229
00:14:14.100 --> 00:14:17.639
know another podcaster that maybe is not on Podmation but
230
00:14:17.700 --> 00:14:21.350
could benefit from it, then be a good steward of
231
00:14:21.429 --> 00:14:24.269
growing the network or the community. You can send an
232
00:14:24.409 --> 00:14:28.509
invite to them in a customizable email message and response
233
00:14:28.950 --> 00:14:32.669
and have it send it. And you can track your
234
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:38.159
referral analytics. So our growth center provides 30-day views of
235
00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:43.169
supported referral activity. You can see information about how visitors
236
00:14:43.289 --> 00:14:46.659
interact with certain podcast links and recommendations. Now, we're not
237
00:14:46.740 --> 00:14:51.220
claiming those clicks represent actual complete podcast downloads. That is
238
00:14:51.259 --> 00:14:54.299
handled by your own provider. Like Spreaker, for example, I
239
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.899
can see unique downloads. That's where we get our data
240
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.409
from or other third parties. That's not what this is for.
241
00:15:00.429 --> 00:15:03.870
This is to see what happens as people move through
242
00:15:03.929 --> 00:15:07.429
your public pages and see where they're clicking, what episodes
243
00:15:07.450 --> 00:15:08.830
they're clicking on, okay?
244
00:15:09.570 --> 00:15:11.169
So the bigger picture is simple.
245
00:15:11.750 --> 00:15:14.889
We want Podmation to become a community where creators have
246
00:15:15.190 --> 00:15:19.980
more opportunities to connect, collaborate, and grow, and less just.
247
00:15:19.860 --> 00:15:21.139
A directory that's out there.
248
00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:25.340
Another amazing feature that we have in our dashboard is
249
00:15:25.580 --> 00:15:29.450
not just the creator dashboard, but also something called visibility score.
250
00:15:29.909 --> 00:15:33.029
It's another feature that we created. Now, let's face it.
251
00:15:33.330 --> 00:15:39.169
Some podcasts are beautifully presented with great artwork, descriptions, promotional information.
252
00:15:39.330 --> 00:15:43.129
Others could use a little work, right? So our visibility
253
00:15:43.169 --> 00:15:46.490
score is designed to encourage creators to pay attention to
254
00:15:46.549 --> 00:15:49.750
how their content is presented and discovered. Look, it's not
255
00:15:49.769 --> 00:15:53.309
a promise that search rankings and that you'll get thousands
256
00:15:53.350 --> 00:15:56.970
of downloads. It's a tool that's focused on improving the
257
00:15:57.029 --> 00:16:02.529
awareness of your podcast's visibility. And everything ties back to
258
00:16:02.570 --> 00:16:07.470
your creator dashboard. From managing your podcast information and episodes.
259
00:16:07.509 --> 00:16:10.289
And by the way, even though you pull your episodes
260
00:16:10.389 --> 00:16:14.909
in from the RSS feed from an existing host, you
261
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.019
can actually change and alter that information if you want.
262
00:16:18.580 --> 00:16:20.820
Maybe you want to make it even more SEO optimized.
263
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:22.500
The control is up to you.
264
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:25.200
We're not taking that out of your hands at all.
265
00:16:25.740 --> 00:16:28.000
And that's unique because in a lot of platforms, once
266
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:30.809
it pulls in, You can't change that info and how
267
00:16:30.850 --> 00:16:34.980
it's presented. In Podmation, you can change how that information
268
00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:40.399
is made. Also, all you creators, you will have access
269
00:16:40.500 --> 00:16:44.830
to a mobile app, a PWA mobile app.
270
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.429
This allows you to be able to upload
things quicker,
271
00:16:48.049 --> 00:16:48.570
get into.
272
00:16:48.450 --> 00:16:52.289
Your account quicker, use it a little more friendly or
273
00:16:52.330 --> 00:16:54.789
on a mobile device and all that. So we created
274
00:16:54.830 --> 00:16:59.470
what's called Podmation's Creator Companion. And basically, it just puts
275
00:16:59.690 --> 00:17:02.309
everything at your fingertips. So you go into your dashboard,
276
00:17:02.350 --> 00:17:04.259
you'll see a button there. You can download it onto
277
00:17:04.299 --> 00:17:08.700
your phone, and it just makes life so much easier. Okay,
278
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.039
now why do all these features matter? We'll wrap this up. Now,
279
00:17:12.579 --> 00:17:16.369
let's put everything together. Imagine you're a podcast creator. You
280
00:17:16.470 --> 00:17:20.710
already have 50 episodes published. You connect your podcast to Podmation.
281
00:17:21.369 --> 00:17:24.109
Through your existing RSS feed, of course, again, you can
282
00:17:24.170 --> 00:17:28.009
manually upload certain feeds if you want, but RSS, most
283
00:17:28.049 --> 00:17:30.670
platforms give you an RSS feed that you just cut
284
00:17:30.690 --> 00:17:34.619
and paste in your dashboard. Your episodes become part of
285
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:38.720
another podcast delivery and discovery platform, not just the one
286
00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:42.720
that hosts your account. You're now putting your information on
287
00:17:42.779 --> 00:17:46.220
another platform that gives you the tools and and create
288
00:17:46.460 --> 00:17:50.339
SEO optimized pages for each episode, not just your podcast,
289
00:17:50.380 --> 00:17:54.319
but each episode to put it out there and be searchable.
290
00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:59.380
And now even on Podmation, somebody searches for a subject
291
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.630
or discovers one of your episodes through the topic discovery feature. Meanwhile,
292
00:18:04.369 --> 00:18:08.289
you create promotional graphics while using the promotion studio that's
293
00:18:08.329 --> 00:18:11.890
built in. You generate a media kit for potential guests
294
00:18:11.950 --> 00:18:14.859
on your show. You can recommend another creator through the
295
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:17.480
growth center. They come and recommend your show. You can
296
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.559
track the referral of that. How many visitors have engaged
297
00:18:21.579 --> 00:18:25.359
with your links? All of those tools are designed to
298
00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:29.819
complement one another. That's what we're building. Not just a directory,
299
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:34.319
not just a graphics design studio, and not just another
300
00:18:34.380 --> 00:18:36.519
place to listen to podcasts because you can do that
301
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:39.559
on Spreaker, Spotify, Deezer, and all those other things. What
302
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:45.160
we're building is a platform. that combines discovery, promotion, and
303
00:18:45.259 --> 00:18:46.519
creator collaboration.
304
00:18:46.900 --> 00:18:47.579
And the best part?
305
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.160
You can continue using your existing podcast hosting service and
306
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:53.319
distribution platforms.
307
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:54.200
Nothing changes.
308
00:18:55.200 --> 00:19:00.390
Podmation is designed to give your content another opportunity to
309
00:19:00.430 --> 00:19:03.609
be found. That's what was missing. We didn't need another host.
310
00:19:05.150 --> 00:19:06.900
What we needed was a way to be able to
311
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:11.460
get our individual episodes out there so that they're indexable,
312
00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:15.150
that they're shareable, and that they're easy for people to find.
313
00:19:16.130 --> 00:19:20.259
So look, join us at Podmation. We're excited about everything
314
00:19:20.299 --> 00:19:24.289
we've developed, but we're certainly not finished. In fact, in
315
00:19:24.309 --> 00:19:27.609
the last couple of days, we've had two full updates already,
316
00:19:27.930 --> 00:19:30.789
and I plan on adding more and more features that
317
00:19:30.869 --> 00:19:36.779
help make your podcast or your videocast sensational, okay? We
318
00:19:36.859 --> 00:19:39.759
want creators to be a part of that journey. So
319
00:19:39.940 --> 00:19:43.500
whether you're producing your first podcast or you're already published
320
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:47.180
hundreds of episodes or like me, over a thousand, you're
321
00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:52.519
invited to visit Podmation.com. Explore the platform, get your free
322
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.839

323
00:19:56.900 --> 00:20:01.380
topic discovery and the growth center, connect your RSS feed
324
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:03.960
to get your episodes in there, see how those tools
325
00:20:04.019 --> 00:20:06.299
may help promote your show, how you can share the
326
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:10.539
links to different platforms. Because Here's something I firmly believe.
327
00:20:11.539 --> 00:20:16.940
Creating a great podcast is an accomplishment. Getting that podcast
328
00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:21.579
discovered is an opportunity. And we're building Podmation to help
329
00:20:21.660 --> 00:20:26.339
create more of those opportunities. So visit us at podmation.com.
330
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:31.640
This is Podmation. Discover, promote, connect, and grow. Thanks for listening, folks.
331
00:20:31.660 --> 00:20:32.839
Until next time, stay safe.
332
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:36.609
God bless. And absolutely, drumroll.
