The biggest mistake so many people make when it comes to producing their own podcast is that they sleep on the shownotes. They will either throw in the bare minimum to have some content in there, or they fill the space with extraneous information that isn’t driving traffic anywhere.
The thing about podcasts is that many people are listening to them while multitasking. They’re driving, working out, grocery shopping, cleaning, etc., and even if they are interested in your offer or affiliate link they’ll likely get distracted. This is why having optimized shownotes is imperative if you want your podcast to drive traffic to your offers and convert your audience into paying clients.
Here are 3 things you need to include in your podcast shownotes for optimum success ⬇️
Links to your offers right at the top.
If you’re featuring a freebie, affiliate link, or paid offer you need to pin those links up at the top so that those who can find them are immediately interested.
Give a brief outline of what the episode is about with highlights.
Someone who is on the fence about tuning in will want to scan over the notes to see if the episode is worth their time. Don’t include a whole transcription of the episode with extraneous details. Keep it clear, simple, and to the point.
Direct them to your socials and website.
Always, always, always have your social media handles and website link within your shownotes and encourage your listeners to share the episode wherever they can.
Having these specific elements within your podcast (or YouTube) shownotes will turn your content from just entertainment to conversions and a way to scale your business. Your podcast should be bringing in passive income, and this is the first step to making that happen!
