Add your Podcast RSS Feed to YouTube

Great news for podcasters! YouTube has officially rolled out a new feature allowing creators to link their podcast's RSS feed directly to their channel. This streamlines the process of getting your audio content onto the platform, making it easier for your audience to discover and consume your podcasts alongside your video content.

I've put together a video tutorial to walk you through the steps, but here's a quick rundown of how to set it up:

How to Add Your Podcast RSS Feed to YouTube

1. Access YouTube Studio: From your YouTube channel page, click on your channel icon in the top right corner, then select YouTube Studio.

2. Initiate Podcast Creation: In the top right corner of the Studio dashboard, click the "Create" box.

3. Choose Your Podcast Option: A dropdown menu will appear with three choices for adding podcast content:

   • Create a New Podcast: For starting fresh on YouTube.

   • Set an Existing Playlist as Podcast: If you already have podcast episodes organized in a YouTube playlist.

   • Submit RSS Feed: This is the option you'll choose to link your existing podcast.

4. Paste Your RSS Feed URL: Select "Submit RSS Feed" and then simply copy and paste your podcast's RSS feed URL into the provided field. This URL is where your podcast is hosted.

Keep in mind that it may take some time for YouTube to process and upload your content, depending on the size and depth of your podcast library.

This new feature is a game-changer for podcasters looking to expand their reach on YouTube. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you!

 

Create Short Video Clips Answering top 10 Questions Ask About Product or Service

---

Are you directly addressing the questions your potential customers ask daily about your products or services? If not, you're missing a significant opportunity!

YouTube is an excellent platform for businesses to answer common customer questions. Its robust sharing features—including direct links for social media, embed codes for websites and blogs, and messenger links—make it easy for your videos to reach a wider audience. By sharing YouTube video links, you enable consumers in your local market to easily discover your business.

Why Mobile and Local Search Matter

Today, mobile devices are the primary search tool. Google's search algorithms implicitly understand "near me" and "nearby" queries, along with similar phrases like "close by." This is particularly important because Google now prioritizes mobile indexing.

To leverage this, identify the top 10 questions customers ask about your business. Search these questions on your mobile device to see how consumers phrase their inquiries. This research will guide you in creating short, targeted videos that directly address customer needs during their search. Knowing your target market is key to success!

Getting Started with YouTube Short Videos

If you already have a YouTube channel, download the YouTube app and sign in with your account. Use the app to record your question-and-answer videos, fill in the details, and upload them. Once your videos are on your channel, start sharing them with your target audience.

YouTube shorts 15 seconds -3 minutes and will populate as a playlist on your channel.

By proactively providing helpful information, you'll build brand awareness and generate sales leads. Consumers often research businesses thoroughly before making contact, so meeting them with valuable content positions you as a trusted resource.

Potential clients search for information. They want education and personalization. Create the short videos as if you're having a conversation.

How to Loop a Video On Your YouTube Channel

Did you know you have the ability to loop a video on your YouTube Channel?   I actually went to Loom and created a short video tutorial.

One more feature highlighted is creating a URL from a starting point on your video.

I went to a video on my YouTube channel.  I did a right click on Video and did a check mark on Loop my video.

I went to my blog page and first did a share link of the same video and it did not loop.  I also copied the embed code and added to the HTML box and did a test on the loop feature.  The video did not loop on my blog and did show related plays.

The video loops on my channel but not using the link provided by YouTube.  The link provided by YouTube

Here is the Embed of the video I did a check mark to loop on my channel. Does not loop on embed.

There is no longer a stop related plays when you use embed.  This was one of the nice features not to show other videos once finished.  Build a playlist.
