Quotes

  • "If youre brand new, without a presence anywhere, building a brand on your own.com and allowing your content to be discovered at an episode level is one of the things you have to focus on." -Todd Cochrane, CEO, Blubrry Podcasting

  • "You need to be found in a way that your competition's not. And how is that done? You record for your audience, you write for Google." -Todd Cochrane, CEO, Blubrry Podcasting

  • "Don't put your podcast on a third-party site. Do it where you can control the message and ensure it's written so the Google search god, that 800-pound gorilla, is going to drive traffic to you." -Todd Cochrane, CEO, Blubrry Podcasting

  • "Most companies coming into the space don't often have budget for the advertising of their show. It doesn't have to be a lot of money. It can be a simple boost on Facebook or a paid post on LinkedIn." -Todd Cochrane, CEO, Blubrry Podcasting

  • "The ability to not be just focused on what you are doing, but also talk about the world as a whole tends to attract folks that may be reluctant to tune into a business or a marketing show." -Todd Cochrane, CEO, Blubrry Podcasting

  • "When folks land on your page and they're only there for five seconds, make sure that you have a place to indicate there's some content that they can follow before they click away." -Todd Cochrane, CEO, Blubrry Podcasting
