CS 006: How To Setup And Launch A Podcast

The Cloud Secrets Show

Hey. Hello. Marcel Martens here and welcome back to the Cloud Secrets Podcast. I promised you guys an updates on today. I didn't choose the winning logo yet because I'm having a few doubts between two options so I'll wait for a couple of days or maybe even a weekend and ask some more people for advice on what they think and then I'll maybe pick one in the weekend or early next week.

I also finished up the intro for this podcast today. My audio guy, which I found on Fiverr, made the intro jingle on the back vocal. I don't know what you call it. Background intro music. The intro is almost ready for the podcast and today I started with setting up our podcast stream. I use Libsyn. L-I-B-S-Y-N. You can start for five bucks and you can publish, I don't know, 50 Mbs a month or I don't know. It's very cheap and you can distribute to all platforms. I use a little bit more advanced subscription there because I like to have some insights and since I'm producing content almost everyday, I also need a lot more storage to be able to upload all my episodes. That's where we started.

The next steps would be to announce it to iTunes, the podcasts for Apple. The only thing that you need is at least three or five episodes, I believe, so I'm going to finish up the outro this weekend and then I can mix all the intros, all the episodes and the outros together and then I can upload them to Libsyn and from there we can publish them and then add them to iTunes or Apple podcasts. I also use SoundCloud for the android user and of course here in Europe, maybe even around the globe, I don't know, the Spotify is very popular, so I'm going to also apply to Spotify to allow or accept my podcast and take it in into their database so they can distribute it to all our Spotify users.

And last but not least for today. I started with the YouTube channel. Well, I'm going to put the videos inside my current channel so it'll sticks together, but made the preparations there so we can make a Cloud Secrets playlists of some sort that you can all find all episodes chronologically there as well. Pretty busy day. Pretty enthusiastic big night ahead as well. The soccer season is started here today with the first match. We sponsor a local soccer team so tonight I'm going to go with a business relation and they're going to take some people as well. I'm going to have a lovely night so picking up the kids now from daycare and then we'll have a quick meal, quick shower, and then back off to football and a little bit of networking tonight. Have a nice weekend and I'll see you next time. Bye Bye. Marcel Martens.
