A question I see asked a lot is whether you should use transcripts for your podcast, and if they're worth it because it just adds more to the production of an episode.

Here are two very simple reasons why you should, as well as a couple of options - free and paid - to add transcripts to your podcast.

When it comes to sponsors and advertisers, a lot of podcasters just share their download numbers.

And, while downloads can give information about your show, it's probably only a fraction of what you can share. And this can cost you when it comes to how much you get paid by those sponsors.

Until now, if you wanted to upload video podcasts to Spotify you either needed to host with Spotify for Podcasters, or with a hosting company that supported video passthrough to Spotify. But no more!

Now, thanks to an awesome new feature on Spotify for Podcasters - the podcaster dashboard for any podcasters that host elsewhere - you can easily add video versions of your audio podcast too.

Take a look online, whether on Twitter, Facebook groups, Reddit, etc, and you’ll frequently come across questions about starting a podcast. From there, many answers share equipment to buy, hosts to use, etc.

All well, all good. But what you don’t often see is what you shouldn’t do, and why, based on personal experience and lessons learned.

So, while this is in no way an exhaustive list of do’s and don’ts - after all, it’s all subjective to individual needs - here are three lessons I wish I’d known when I started podcasting seriously back in 2016.

If you listen to the outro of this podcast, you'll hear that I mention it by name, with the call to action being, "If you enjoy One Minute Podcast Tips, be sure to share with your friends." This is instead of saying "If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to share with your friends"

It's the same when I talk about the show online - I use the full name as opposed to "My podcast".

And there's a simple reason for this - branding and recall.
