Een podcast uploaden naar iTunes

Full Transcript by Sonix: Een podcast uploaden naar iTunes - Set Sail Podcast

Inleiding

: So, today, we are going to talk about how to upload your podcast to iTunes. And I know what you’re thinking, maybe, is that you don’t actually upload your podcast to iTunes. Well, not the actual MP3 files. And if you didn’t know that, now, you do.

Uw podcast RSS feed naar iTunes sturen

: Je stuurt je podcast RSS feed naar iTunes. En dan lezen ze dat bestand, en geven dat bestand in principe aan waar je audiobestanden zich bevinden, en dat is op een podcast host, zoals ik in de vorige aflevering al zei. En dan kunnen mensen ze afspelen vanuit iTunes of een andere podcast app. En het zal de bestanden afspelen die zijn opgeslagen op de podcast host. Ik hoop dat dat duidelijk is.

: So, I actually created a post called How to Upload a Podcast to iTunes or Any Other Directory. And that’s what we are going to be talking about here because that’s what I have done recently, and I feel like it’s a good starting point.

Titel en beschrijving toevoegen

: So, you’ll need to upload your MP3 that you’ve created to a podcast host. And in the article, I referenced Buzzsprout. So, we’ll just use them as an example. You’ll upload. They have a big upload button. You click that. And after that is done, you’ll add a title, and some description, any notes you want to add. If you have a different author, you can put that in.

: En bedenk dan dat je het indienen maar één keer hoeft te doen. Daarna gebeurt het automatisch op de achtergrond telkens als je een nieuwe aflevering uploadt. Dus je voegt je aantekeningen, je titel en beschrijving en al die informatie toe. En dan kun je een speler insluiten.

Instructies bij gebruik van WordPress

: If you’re using a third-party website like WordPress, the next step is to submit your RSS feed to iTunes. And there are some things that you’ll need to make sure are set up before you do that. You will need, one, an Apple ID. And it’s free. You’ll need a title, description, artwork with a minimum size of 1400 x 1400 pixels and a maximum size of 3000 x 3000 pixels.

: You’ll need to choose a category, but I actually recommend choosing three different categories, so that you can be found in three different places. And then, you’ll need to choose a language, and explicit or not explicit. So, the cursing, if that’s included or not in your podcast.

: And then, if we’re using Buzzsprout, they have a little tab to click on iTunes. Copy your RSS feed. Then, you’ll hop over to Podcasts Connect with your new Apple ID, if you didn’t have one already. And you’ll put in your RSS feed URL. You will click validate.

: And if everything is set up correctly, and you put in all the info that is required, you’ll see a little status that says, “Prepare for submission” with a green light. If it’s red, and it says that anything is missing, it will highlight what you are missing from your feed. And just make sure you go in and update that to comply with their guidelines. And then, you will click submit.

Hoe lang duurt het?

: And I know Apple says that it can take a few days to a few weeks to approve your podcast. But when I submitted this podcast you’re listening to, it took 31 minutes for them after I clicked submit for them to, basically, make it live. And it took me another day for it to be searchable.

: So, be prepared for it to happen quickly if you’ve done everything correctly, so that you can hop in and start promoting your podcast. I would just be ready. I was planning on having an extra day, at least, to kind of prepare some images and stuff for the launch, but I did not. So, that’s life.

Aanbeveling op andere podcast directories

: And then, after you submit to iTunes, I highly recommend submitting to some other podcast directories. And some big ones are Google Play, they have their own separate portal, and you’ll submit, basically, the same way as iTunes, and Stitcher, and Tunein, or a couple of others.

: And you’ll see on this post that you can find at SetSailPodcast.com/3, at the bottom, there’ll be a link to a list of other podcasts directories. And then, from there, there’ll be links to those different directories to submit to. So, check that out.
