Should I Put My Podcast On YouTube?

I get this question on an almost daily basis. The answer is: it depends.

After all YouTube is quite popular.

• 2 billion people log into YouTube Each Month
• 1 Billion hours watched daily
• In 2019 it was reported that 500 hours of video were uploaded to Youtube every minute
• It's the #2 Search Engine

If you're not doing anything on YouTube - Yes

If you already have a YouTube channel with real videos (not audio with a static image) I would create a second YouTube channel for the "Fake Video" (audio with a static image) episodes.

Some people try to find the perfect clip to use as a promo. This can be quite a time suck. Why not just come up with a tease, and say it into your web cam? Then explain where they can find the full episode.

A very popular web cam is the Logitech C920 . DO NOT use the camera's mic (or the built in microphone of your computer). The audio from those devices is awful and audio is very important to video. I can help if you're new to video.
