5 Online Marketing Campaigns to Get Your Podcast Heard

Everyone seems to have a favorite podcast nowadays. From political analysis to sports commentary, comedy shows to investigative reporting, there’s something out there for everyone.

This also means there’s a lot of competition out there for podcasters. What can you do to make sure your voice is heard?

We have five attention-grabbing online marketing ideas for podcasters.

WBRC FOX6’s “Behind the Front” Podcast Landing Page

Some podcasters use their shows to provide additional insight into a topic. WBRC FOX6’s podcast “Behind the Front” is a great example. The podcast features their First Alert Chief Meteorologist, J-P Dice, and covers a wide range of weather-related topics. They list their entire podcast library on their campaign which is embedded on their website. This gives folks who might not be regular podcast listeners an easy way to access the material.

IDEA: Include short episode descriptions, host and guest bios, and a newsletter sign-up form to allow fans to “get to know” the show.
