It would seem that everyone is making podcasts these days. So you may have a great idea for some free podcasts to give away - but you aren’t too sure how to get your podcast onto Itunes?Where should you begin.Follow the steps below and you will be broadcasting your show in no time.
1) Once you have recorded your first podcast episode, make sure that you have saved in one of the following file formats: .m4A format, .mov, .mp4, .mp3, .m4v or perhaps .pdf.
2) You should make sure that your files have been uploaded to a server and that they have a publically accessible URK.You should also ensure that you have created your RSS feeds properly and that you have remembered to put the URL of the RSS feed onto your server.
3) You should now load up Itunes, go to the Itunes store and then click on 'podcasts'.
4) Amongst all of the free podcasts on show you should see a button that says ‘Submit a Podcast’.
5) After you have clicked on this button you will then be taken to a new screen that requests you enter the URL for the RSS of the podcast.
6) The following page will open and ask you to enter a summary for the podcast that you have just uploaded.If you havent already added tags to your podcast, you may get a second screen coming up asking for more information such as language, category and whether the podcast will require an 'explicit' tag.
7) Now that all of the 'hard work' has been done the only thing left to do is get the approval of the Itunes staff. You will soon be able to find it via Search or Browse and you will also be able to add more free podcasts at a later date.
Well done - you are now a part of the wonderful creative world of podcasting!
