What You Need To Know About Podcasting
There are various formats of creating content. So far, we have discussed the text in blogging form. We talked about how you can generate ideas/topics, how you can generate traffic and how you can repurpose the content to fit other platforms. If you missed it, shout to you!
One of the ways you can repurpose your blog post is to turn it to an audio a.k.a podcast. A podcast is a digital audio file that can be listened to (even downloaded). It is recorded in series and can be listened to on phone or laptop.
Podcasts have increasingly become an important way to consume content. Also, people prefer to listen while on their way to work or maybe while they are doing other things. This is great because as in the case of video, they don’t need to look at their screen. All they have to do is insert their headphones or connect their device to a speaker and they listen.
