What is a podcast social media strategy?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nA podcast social media strategy is essentially a plan for using social media platforms to promote and grow your podcast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe following strategy is a pretty good starting point which you can build out over time as you learn more about your audience and what works for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Create social media accounts: You might already have these but if not set up accounts on your chosen social media platforms. Choose wisely. <\/span>Knowing your target audience is important here<\/span><\/a>. Once you have identified your target audience find out which socials they hang out on and set up accounts on them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Create shareable content: Create engaging content like sound bites, audiograms, posts and videos to share on your socials. This is what we\u2019re going to work on today!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Build a community: Engage with your audience and build a community around the podcast by encouraging listeners to share their feedback, suggestions, and opinions.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Be consistent: As I said above, the social media algorithms reward consistency.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Partner with other creators: Increase your reach and broaden your audience by partnering with other creators. Appear on their podcasts, do a \u2018Live\u2019 together, cross promote each other. I share some ideas in the 28 day podcast social media content plan below.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Track analytics: Regularly monitor and analyse social media analytics to understand the podcast’s performance on social media platforms and identify what is doing well and what could be better.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Engage with listeners: Engage with listeners by responding to comments and questions, conducting polls and surveys, doing Q&As etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

Our 28-day <\/span>podcast social media strategy <\/span>contains a variety of different types of content such as:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- audiograms<\/span><\/li>\n
- teasers and trailers<\/span><\/li>\n
- behind the scenes footage<\/span><\/li>\n
- personal content<\/span><\/li>\n
- graphics or infographics<\/span><\/li>\n
- requests for feedback<\/span><\/li>\n
- cross promotion.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Audiograms<\/span><\/h3>\nAudiograms are short audio clips from a podcast episode that are paired with a visual element, such as a waveform or an image. They give potential listeners a preview of the episode’s content. To create an audiogram, you can use tools like <\/span>Canva<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Wavve<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nRead more about boosting your podcast\u2019s promotion with engaging podcast audiograms.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\nTeasers and Trailers<\/span><\/h3>\nTeasers and trailers are short video clips that promote an upcoming episode of a podcast. A teaser typically provides a brief overview of the episode’s content, while a trailer may be longer and include highlights from the episode. To create a teaser or trailer, you can use video editing tools like <\/span>Canva<\/span><\/a>, iMovie (on Apple devices) or <\/span>YouCut mobile app<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\nBehind the Scenes Footage<\/span><\/h3>\nBehind the scenes footage provides a glimpse into the process of creating a podcast episode. This can include footage of recording sessions, editing sessions or interactions between the host and guest. To create behind the scenes footage, you can use your phone or a camera to capture footage during the podcast production process.<\/span><\/p>\nPersonal Content<\/span><\/h3>\nLet your audience get to know you a little better, outside of the podcast. There are no rules here. Just share what you are comfortable with and what you think will help your audience get to know you better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nGraphics or Infographics<\/span><\/h3>\nGraphics or infographics are visual elements that help explain or illustrate concepts related to the podcast. They can be used to summarise key points from an episode, to provide additional information that may be of interest to listeners or to share a particularly poignant quote from the episode. To create graphics or infographics, you can use tools like <\/span>Canva<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Piktochart<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\nRequests for Feedback<\/span><\/h3>\nRequests for feedback are calls to action that encourage listeners to share their thoughts or opinions on a podcast episode. Asking for feedback can help you understand what your audience likes and dislikes, and can help improve the podcast over time.<\/span><\/p>\nCross Promotion<\/span><\/h3>\nCross promotion involves promoting other podcasts or content related to the podcast’s topic. This can help build relationships with other podcasters and introduce new listeners to the podcast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nFor a more in-depth\u00a0look at these ideas check out the following blog post: <\/span><\/i>6 Ideas for Engaging Content on Your Podcast Social Media Platforms<\/span><\/i><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\nThe 28 day podcast social media strategy\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"podcast](\"https:\/\/www.creativelycontenting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-1-300x157.png\")
