Give your podcast a name-tag
As the number of podcasts increase (and not just those looking to make a buck), the noise level rises even higher and more and more people are using RSS news readers and portals like Yahoo! and the iTunes Music Store to find new podcasts, it becomes much more important to identify your website (or where people can find more about you) during your podcast.
If I come across your podcast outside the context of your website, I like to know who you are, where you “live” online and how I can find out more, if I so choose. Podcasts don’t always travel within the context of your website, so it’s important to add a line or two at the beginning and end of your podcast, identifying who you are and where you’re located online.
But don’t be mistaken and think this is just about pimping your site during your podcast (and there are some that are into that). This is about making it easier for your listener to jump from listening to reading and hopefully marking your website for a return visit.
By giving your podcast a name-tag you make it easier for listeners to find you and learn more.
