Podcasting In PR (Press Releases)
Press releases have long been a traditional way of increasing the profile of businesses and they can also be used to increase the profile of podcasts. Write to newspapers, media outlets and websites about any news related to your podcast. This only includes the formation of your podcast and its first broadcast.
Think creatively about what could be considered news. Even if it doesn't seem newsworthy, it is always worth sending out a press release. People who specialize in public relations may be able to give you more advice on podcasting in PR.
Articles
There are many places now where people can submit articles for free that other people can use for free in their websites or newsletters. This is a great way to promote your podcast or business. Write on a topic that is relevant to the podcast. It does not have to be a literary masterpiece, but it should include relevant, interesting and well-written information, so that people will want to publish it. In return for the use of your article, they will include a byline that may include a link to your website or podcast.

When people search for podcasts to listen to, they are quite likely to find their way to podcast directories, which include listings for a number of podcasts.
Getting listed in these directories will increase your chance of finding listeners and subscribers. In order to gain the maximum benefit from directories, make sure your entry contains popular keywords that are relevant to your podcast and that the description provides a good description of what your podcast is about.
Make It Easy for Subscribers
The point of promoting a podcast is not just to gain listeners, but also to gain subscribers. If people listen to your podcast just once, then you are missing valuable listeners. In order to gain subscribers, ensure that you have an easy process by which people can subscribe to the podcast. Include a button that will automatically subscribe your listeners to the podcast through a program like iTunes.
Keep the Podcast Interesting
There's no point in gaining listeners and subscribers if they unsubscribe or stop listening to your podcast because they are getting nothing out of it.
In order to keep listeners and subscribes, you need to ensure that the podcast remains interesting and fresh. Continue to provide new information or music. Interview interesting people if you manage to land an interview with someone particularly interesting, make sure you send a press release and include the information in your email list.
Podcasts on Marketing
The other way that podcasts can help with marketing is by providing you with information that you can use to market your business your podcast. A marketing podcast is likely to include information that is particularly relevant to people who wish to market a podcast or market their business through podcasting. A podcast on marketing is particularly useful as it can be listened to at any time, which is great for busy marketing people.
