PODCAST TIP
Make Your Title Searchable
Your podcast title is the first thing potential listeners see, so make it easy to find! Here’s how:
Use Keywords: Include relevant words that describe your podcast’s topic, like “business,” “true crime,” or “comedy.”
Keep It Clear: Avoid overly creative or vague titles—be direct so people know what your show is about.
Add Your Name: If you have a following, include your name or brand to attract existing fans.
Avoid Jargon: Use simple, everyday language that resonates with your target audience.
Test It Out: Ask friends or colleagues to guess your podcast’s topic based on the title. If they can’t, it’s time to rethink!
A searchable title helps your podcast stand out and reach the right audience.
