It\u2019s likely you are already distributing your podcast to all the usual suspects\u2026 Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc&#8230; Then there\u2019s YouTube \u2014 which may not be as obvious, but is extremely relevant.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you think YouTube, video is usually the first thing to come to mind. Yet, as it has become people\u2019s go-to source for all entertainment, more and more of its users are <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.pacific-content.com\/10-big-podcasting-takeaways-from-2019s-infinite-dial-research-1818580b4847\"><em>listening<\/em> to content, not watching<\/a>. Which has led to YouTube to becoming a <a href=\"https:\/\/futurimedia.com\/2019\/04\/09\/major-new-podcast-study-reveals-listener-habits-trust-in-hosts\/\">dominant destination for podcast listening<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren\u2019t already distributing your podcast to YouTube, there are quite a few good reasons you should be.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>The benefits of distributing your podcast to YouTube<\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube has always been an incredibly successful platform for creators to build and scale their audience. Now, podcasters have started to realize the potential of YouTube\u2019s massive audience and recommendation algorithm to build new audiences.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By distributing to YouTube, podcasters have the opportunity to gain listeners they would miss out on with traditional podcasting apps. In fact, many first-time podcast listeners are discovering podcasts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edisonresearch.com\/infinite-dial-2019\/\">on YouTube and Facebook Live<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tapping into an audience size that\u2019s far larger in comparison to any podcasting apps isn\u2019t the only benefit for podcasters. YouTube\u2019s recommendation algorithm is also a powerful tool for discovery. Because YouTube automatically recommends content based on subjects you\u2019re&nbsp; interested in, podcasters can reach listeners that may have never been exposed to their content on other channels.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also the benefit of being able to create additional ad revenue with YouTube. Depending on the size of your library and the number of subscribers on your YouTube channel, podcasters could bring in significant monthly revenue just from YouTube. This is especially lucrative for influencers starting a podcast that already have built a sizable following on YouTube.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s audiences want to have a personal connection to the creators and the content they consume. Unlike podcasting apps, YouTube is also a great platform for building community and being a part of a conversation that deepens your relationship with listeners and provides you with valuable feedback on your content.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>RedCircle\u2019s YouTube integration&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best news is distributing your podcast to YouTube doesn\u2019t require any additional work. If your podcast is large enough, RedCircle will automatically convert your audio file to video and distribute it to your YouTube channel!\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/u8YAOEghfV3Dm0Y0wiEjx_NFgBMDC3JnS4BIoS2eq6JC33xgKZd_lfgYx5tsPm-VPwSU5PBjcwy5YGa3-3iolHCn3vaqLG1m-Y9bpF0O_KTIx55GwpcZcZrkHQ6edKFudUtHxznv\" alt=\"Publish your podcast to YouTube with RedCircle. \"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you sign into your YouTube account on RedCircle, whenever you publish an episode you can check the box to convert your podcast file into a video file and publish it on your YouTube Channel with your show\u2019s cover art and a dynamic soundwave.
