Transcribe your episodes; this makes extraction and promotion planning much easier and opens possibilities for repurposing content.
Create clips immediately after release whilst episode momentum is high. Use AI to identify key moments within 24 hours of publishing.
Cross-promote across platforms strategically; don't repost identical content. Adapt format, length, and messaging for each platform.
Space promotion over 2-3 weeks; promote the same episode multiple times with different angles and extracts.
Include a clear CTA in every promotional post (listen to full episode, subscribe, share, etc.).
Why This Matters
Creating great episodes is only half the battle. Promotion determines who hears them. Most podcasters struggle with turning episodes into social media content and promotional materials. AI helps you extract clips, generate quotes, craft promotional copy, and plan multi-platform promotion strategies. This guide teaches systematic promotion leveraging AI.
How to Do It
1
AI helps you identify the most quotable, shareable moments in your episodes. These moments become clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
2
Compelling quotes drive engagement on social platforms. AI helps you extract and refine quotable moments from episode transcripts.
3
Different platforms require different content approaches. AI helps you adapt episode content for each platform's audience and format.
4
Every clip and post needs compelling copy. AI generates promotional text that highlights key moments and encourages clicks through to full episodes.
5
Successful podcast promotion uses multiple platforms strategically. AI helps you plan a coordinated promotion calendar ensuring consistent, strategic visibility.
