Podcast Launch Checklist - 10 Things To Double Check Before Launching Your Podcast

When it comes to launching your podcast, you may think that all you need to do is press “publish” and you’re good to go! But in order to create the most successful podcast launch, there are a few things that you should double-check. Before launching your podcast, ensure that your podcast logo meets specific size and format requirements, as it can impact your RSS feed's acceptance in directories. Include your name as the owner in the feed and provide an email address for contact. Craft a compelling podcast description that matches your show's tone and use it to entice potential listeners. Set up social media handles to promote your podcast effectively, maintaining consistency across platforms. Publish a teaser episode, which offers a preview of your show and fulfills directory submission requirements. Aim for your podcast to be searchable in various directories and delay the launch if necessary. Consider recording multiple episodes in advance for a smoother release schedule. Be cautious about labeling explicit content correctly to avoid issues with directories. Adjust the episode limit in your feed settings to accommodate a growing podcast library.
