Podcasting is the practice of using the Internet to make a digital recording of broadcasts available for download to a computer or mobile device. Podcasts offer a unique way to connect with your audience
For businesses that have products and services that can easily be explained without the need for visuals and graphics, podcasts can offer a creative way to reach your target audience. The following article includes the latest podcast statistics and strategies to win over your audiences in 2020:

If you are launching a new podcast or want to gain more traction on your existing podcast, here are a few things we suggest trying in 2020 to boost your results:
Leverage Your Guest’s Audience – You can make it super easy for guests to share by creating quote images and snippets from the podcast.
Leverage the Dozens of Ways to Promote on Social Media – You can share rich media, soundbites, images, videos, teasers, get creative.
Release Several Episodes on Launch Day – The last thing you want is for your audience to listen to the first episode and then message you asking when there will be more. We recommend starting with 3-5 episodes, with no less than 3.
Transcribe the Audio – The truly successful podcasts offer a transcript for every show. This also helps with ADA compliance, as it allows for those who are hearing impaired to read along with the text.
Convert Audio to Video – Podcast content should be repurposed into as many ways possible. You can mix live video with the live podcast interview.
Submit Your Podcast to Aggregators – There are dozens of apps that can collect and play your podcasts. Here are 7 to consider:
Run Promotions and Give Stuff Away – If you are looking to drive ratings, you can run giveaways, throw launch parties (online or offline), post 2 weeks of written content leading up to the launch, and email 7 friends per day.
