    Add your shows to Youtube

    This sounds like a stupid simple tip but it is a great way to get discovered. I have seen the argument that its a waste of time to add a show to youtube and I totally disagree with it. If you properly title and tag your podcast Youtube can be a great platform to get new viewers. Another thing you might want to consider is adding clips of topics you discussed on your show.

    Agree. Be everywhere regardless of the extra hassle. You might get that one passerby that has a BIG social media presence.

    I agree too. Some of our shows get more Youtube views than they do downloads.

    Is there an argument being made NOT to put them on YouTube? I haven't really heard it and it doesn't make sense, at least to me, for anyone to make that argument. As has already been stated in this thread, the more eyeballs the better. Plus, you can Adsense your YouTube videos, so if you have something that blows up in the way of viewership, then you can make a little extra money along the way.

    Just my .02 worth.

    I have been one in the past to think going to YouTube was a waste, When I uploaded to YouTube in the past I wasent seeing any viewers. So I stopped, I just uploaded my first episode to YouTube in over a year and still am not seeing many views. I know viewers are viewers but is it worth the extra time it takes?

    In our workflow, it is no extra time. It just automatically makes its way there with all of the other videos.

    I can give you an example that happened to me just today as to why. I had some students rent the studio today for a documentary they are creating. While they were here one of them was curious about all of the electronics around for our one show. I explained and his next question... Is it on Youtube? Young people today go to youtube for so much stuff.

    That same show gets more views on Youtube than downloads. I guess because people are searching Youtube for how to do stuff with Arduinos and Raspberry Pi processors.

    How much extra time does it take? I render a 720p and a 360p version of my shows and upload the 720p to YouTube. The 360p is for mobile. My software spends an extra 45 to 60 mins to render the 720p, and I start the upload to YouTube and go to bed most of the time.

    I do have to admit, however, that I have asked myself if the handful of views was worth it, but if the videos aren't there, there definitely won't be any accidental viewers that otherwise may never find out about the show(s).

    Why wouldn't you put your shows on Youtube. I dont understand that. I mean does it make sense if you only have an audio prob not but if you are doing any kind of video content Youtube is a must.

    I have to say I agree with @andrewzarian. If you tag your content properly then it will get discovered
