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 doinganythingon 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 LogitechC920. 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.
