Adverts should not be in the File submitted to Podiobooks. WHY? Adverts can be added when a feed is live (and these ads can be removed with ease). I've downloaded Double Share twice, the first time it was clean. The one I downloaded a few months ago…
You have to upload your files to PodioBooks in their very specific format. Talkie bits are definitely not welcome.
Yes, it will be available in two places. Surely that's good?
Best of luck and allow plenty of time for the upload.
Okay, so I've got 5 episodes out and I'm getting ready to submit to podiobooks.com, but I've got a question. I have my own libsyn feed where the episodes are hosted, but what happens when/if podiobooks.com picks up my book? I understand you have to…
As far as your audio quality goes Starla, it all sounded pretty good to me - your levels, even across different cast members, were pretty even. I'm not an expert soundie but as a listener I was impressed.
There is a Quality Control process as Grizz…
I totally agree. I haven't submitted anything yet. I wanted to get all my questions answered and ducks in a row before I did anything for podiobooks.com. And we are ahead in production. A three week cushion to be exact. Mondays are our release days…
Five is the minimum. You did, of course, already put your first through Quality Control, to demonstrate you understand the rules?
Also, I'd recommend staying several episodes ahead if at all possible, but posting a new episode each week. I've found…
I listened to podcast audiobooks for MONTHS before I started recording. I think it's essential to figuring out what to do and sometimes what not to do in a podcast. Of course, when you're like me and get an idea stuck in your head, you may bite off…
I thought maybe three at the very least, but 5 does make more sense. That way you can be fairly certain a podcast won't disappear into thin air. Also gives you more time to build a core audience and do PR stuff. Thanks for the response! Very helpful.
I think Evo wants 5 Episodes ready to go before I makes it Live. I'm aiming to have for mine entire thing ready to go live in one go. But then It will be small enough to it like that.
Is there a common amount of time people wait before submitting to podiobooks.com? For instance, I just released episode 1, should I get a few eps live before I go to podiobooks.com? Or is it okay to go for it right away? Thanks!
