What knowledge level should an attendee have?
Intermediate. You should know how to install and run WordPress on a web server and how to install plugins on your site. This session will not cover actually producing podcast material, so understanding how to produce your audio or video content would be an asset.
What knowledge should an attendee walk away with?
You’ll walk away with a better understanding of how to take all of the great content you have (or will) produce, and get it out to your audience as a podcast.
What is the talk about?
Podcasting is becoming more popular every day – because it’s becoming easier to create a podcast every day. This session assumes you already know how to create your audio and/or video content for your new podcast, and will walk you through some of the tools that make it easy to publish and promote your podcast online easily by customizing your RSS feed, embedding and hosting your own media content, integrating with popular social media sites, submitting to iTunes and Google Play Music and more.
Setting up your podcast website to maximize your exposure can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. I’ve learned a lot by trial-and-error while I was getting my podcast Fireside Chat established, and I’ll be sharing it all with you to help you get up and running as easily as possible.
Why are you passionate about this talk?
When I started the Fireside Chat podcast I found that it was easy to produce the show, but a lot harder to make sure all of the technical ‘behind the scenes’ stuff was setup properly to get my show the maximum exposure. Having run the show for 4 seasons now I have learned a lot about podcasting, and how to make WordPress do a lot of the hard work for me. I want to teach you how to get your site setup properly so you can focus on what’s important – creating great content.
