Post your podcast I will make a free video and promote your content

I've been listening to a lot of podcasts lately. The problem is some podcasts are not getting the attention they deserve because they can be too long on the front end.

The way to combat that is to take nuggets from the episode and share the nugget as a hook. Having the audio trimmed simply isn't enough. You need visuals.

Why do you need visuals? It's because you wouldn't want to limit yourself to just audio-based platforms. Folks aren't hanging out on those platforms. They're on Instagram, and Instagram is highly visual.

Having a .mp4 with a static image and your trimmed audio is cool, but you can do better. A lot of these users will have their sound off. So you can convey the value of your audio-based content using subtitles.

To take it one step further you will want to set the vibe of the video to say, hey this is audio-based, but here is some eye candy. This is where visualizers come into play, not all visualizers are created equal. You will want some sexy smooth visualizers that are customizable to your brand.

Here is an example of a video https://go.aws/2W98b04 I just made for @courtlandallen recent post with @randfishkin I also posted it on my IG https://www.instagram.com/storycreatorapp/ I am still growing my followers there but I have 1.2k followers on my personal account Ill promote your podcast to https://www.instagram.com/michaelaubry/.

Share your podcast, tell me what it's about, and drop a link. I will review your episode in 2x mode and if I like it. I will make you a free video with my tool https://storycreatorapp.com/ in a similar format to the Rand Fishkin one. Then I will promote it on both of my accounts.

    Hi Michael, I just launched a podcast called Techchats. It's about how tech businesses are doing in Asia vs the United States.

    I'd love to get your feedback on my podcast!

      Just signed up. I would recommend making the input text white. It's very hard to see.

      I recorded a quick DEMO on how I made this epic video VIDEO

      I'm tinkering around with recording some content right now for what is shaping up to, at least in part, be the start to a podcast.

      So the video you do is basically an image with animation over it and the transcript?
      You require the audio and transcript or you have software doing the transcription?

        This Rand Fishkin video has subtitles. This was created in-app using the auto subtitling feature.

        That's really cool and exciting. I won't be offering this FREE service for long though.

        Yes, the essential makeup of a good podcast video is a branded background image. You'll want some form of consistency.

        The consistent theme I have recently decided to follow on my Instagram is a podcast episode with a clear body shot of the guest waist up. Ideally in a podcasting situation. My case is slightly different since I am featuring guests, but finding consistency with a bit of uniqueness takes some thinking.

        Other minor details for consistency I look for are neutral colors (earth tones). Then I always introduce the guest with the animated text feature inside (Story Creator](https://storycreatorapp.com/) using the same colors for consistency. Here is where you can add your brand colors. I like to get creative with the visualizers and loading bars. I'm exploring all the options and trying to showcase all the unique variations.

        Then after the podcast episode snippet. I share a value giving carousel post. I am establishing this pattern. It's consistent but offers enough variety and uniqueness. Each episode has something different to offer, that also goes for the value giving post.

        Let me know if I can help you out.
