Automatically upload podcast to youtube

It seems like many people are using Youtube these days just to passively consume audio content, which essentially makes it a podcast platform. And the good part about Youtube is that it's a search engine, so new people might discover your podcast while searching for something.

Do any of you upload your podcasts to youtube?

And would you use an app that automatically uploads your podcast episodes to youtube?

    I would use an app to upload to 3 places simultaneously (sorta referencing the post I made earlier)

    Audio (Apple/Spotify), Video (YouTube), Social (FB/IG/Twitter)

    If you can do this, you will make many podcast networks very, very happy!

      Interesting since I'm building something similar. I'm starting with socials. It'll automatically promote your podcast when a new episode is out. I'm almost there and will share more info in coming weeks. I'll also add YouTube to it.

      If anyone is interested, please leave your email here so I can give you early access: https://onlypod.typeform.com/to/RBNY4s

      Although I didn't understand what you mean by publishing to Apple/Spotify. Doesn't your podcast hosting rss take care of that?

      Read your earlier post and think you made some great points.

      I think posting to Audio/YouTube is pretty doable.

      FB/IG/Twitter are a bit more complicated because they would likely require video editing of some kind, as well as transcriptions/captions. I imagine for IG and twitter at least, the point would be to post small highlights. I've seen some products that focus on this specific use case.

      I have been thinking about building a content repurposing platform though. The main thing holding me back is lack of access to content creators to actually validate the idea / figure out exactly what to build.

    Yes, I do this. I just started two weeks ago but have already over 1000 views on one episode. So that’s exciting. Her is the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWVxDd-f0EbQ_t56MyLobqw

    And here is the website of the podcast: https://www.se-unlocked.com

    I was looking for software that can help with this process and found this: repurpose.co

    I did not want to invest the money as I already invested in adobe premier monthly subscription and you know subscription add up. When the podcast starts bringing in money, I plan to invest more in helpful solutions, so yes, I would pay for that, essential especially if it would do more like making teasers or posting to several social media channels as @RecordEditPodcast said.

      Great podcast, Cassidy Williams is awesome! Yeah I've seen repurpose.io which is cool though doesn't do some of the things I would want. And the costs do add up.

      I wanted to make this as a free tool actually. Let me know if you'd be interested in trying it out.

      1. 1

        Yes, I'd be interested in trying it out and giving feedback.

          Sounds good, I'll email you!
