Speaker:

I've spoken before about the importance

Speaker:

of having a trailer for your podcast.

Speaker:

There are a few reasons,

Speaker:

But the main one is it's one of the most effective ways of promoting your show to new listeners.

Speaker:

However, it's only effective if it's relevant to where your show is now.

Speaker:

Most podcasts go through some kind of evolution, whether that's a new format,

Speaker:

frequency of publishing, or even new co-hosts since the show was first published.

Speaker:

This is why it's key to keep your podcast trailer up to date,

Speaker:

so potential listeners know exactly what to expect from your show.

Speaker:

This can include a new trailer for each season if your podcast uses that format.

Speaker:

The main thing is, a trailer needs to have the most up-to-date information about your show.

Speaker:

It's no good saying you can get new episodes every Friday if you change your publishing schedule to Tuesdays.

Speaker:

So take a look at the last time you updated your trailer and if the details are still relevant.

Speaker:

If not, record a new one and replace the current one.

Speaker:

Your new listeners will thank you.

Speaker:

Until the next time, happy podcasting.

Speaker:

Thanks for listening.

Speaker:

If you enjoy One Minute Podcast tips, be sure to share with your friends and other podcasters

Speaker:

so they can enjoy it too.

Speaker:

Until the next time, happy podcasting.
