Why Being Obvious is Key: Avoiding Confusion in Your Podcast's Name
Manage episode 375844057 series 2401170
In today's episode, we explore an intriguing topic - the impact of a cute name on your podcast's success. Inside jokes don't work unless you're on the inside.
It Sounded Good at the Time
A cute name can inadvertently shoot the podcaster in the foot.
In this episode, I analyze the show "iCantCU Podcast" and offers his recommendations for improvement. He points out that retaining the word "podcast" in the show's title is unnecessary, as it is already implied.
Furthermore, I emphasize the importance of having a straightforward spelling and avoiding unusual punctuation, as it simplifies searchability and prevents confusion among potential listeners.
TRUST ME - You Will Get Tired of Explaining How To Spell Your Name
This valuable lesson from his experience at Libsyn, a company whose name often requires clarification. He advises against getting too cute with the show's title, as it can become a source of frustration when constantly explaining it to others.
The episode also explores the significance of having a clear tagline or description to convey the podcast's content. By adding a colon and a tagline, the podcast creator can effectively communicate that their show showcases the abilities of blind individuals to the sighted world.
They Have to Find You To Click You
Drawing an interesting parallel to the world of YouTube, Dave highlights the importance of a compelling title to attract potential listeners. He shares insights from a successful YouTuber, Mister Beast, who emphasizes the significance of engaging titles and thumbnails to entice viewers. The same principle applies to podcasting - an obvious and intriguing title can greatly increase the chances of attracting listeners.
