If you’re adding your podcast to YouTube or want to optimize your channel, these tips are a must-hear. Highlights YouTube Now Supports Podcast Playlists: Turn your playlist of podcast episodes into an official podcast on YouTube—easy to set up and can improve your search visibility. Personal Experience: Dave reports that uploading podcasts to YouTube helped boost one show to #2 in Google search results, right next to his website. Two Essential Tips for Podcasters on YouTube 1. Create a Separate Email Address for Your YouTube Channel Don’t use your main Google/Gmail account for your show’s YouTube channel. Set up a new Gmail address specific to your podcast. This shields your personal email, Google Drive, and other services if YouTube ever takes action against your channel. 2. Be Careful with Website Links Avoid posting the full URL if your guest's website is not "https..." - an "http..." website is not "secure" and that is what YouTube flagged and threatened me with (including “ http://...” ) to your guests’ websites in your YouTube show notes. If a guest’s website ever gets flagged as unsafe or taken down, your YouTube channel could also get flagged. Use shortened or simple versions of the website address to direct listeners (e.g., just the domain name). Instead of "https://howtopodcast.ca/" just put "howtopodcast.ca" leaving off the first part of their web address - if their website has the "https" in the address you are safe to post the entire website domain!… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-how-to-podcast-series-podcast-co-hosts-practical-podcast-tips-and-podcast-community-5031450/episodes/e691-setting-up-your-podcast-on-your-youtube-channel-and-a-warning-for-your-show-notes-podcasting-tips/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-how-to-podcast-series-podcast-co-hosts-practical-podcast-tips-and-podcast-community-5031450/e691-setting-up-your-podcast-on-your-youtube-channel-and-a-warning-for-your-show-notes-podcasting-tips.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
