As a podcaster, it can be a challenge to keep up with all the different content formats that can be used to reach different audiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A blog post only reaches a certain audience, a video has the potential to reach another, and podcasts reach yet another. And let\u2019s not forget all the social media channels you should be using to promote all of them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning your video into a podcast is one simple way to make your content efforts go further — without a lot of extra work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>How to Turn Your Video into a Podcast<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1 – Convert:<\/b> Both Kapwing<\/a> or Audio Converter<\/a> can convert your video into an MP3. Just upload your file, indicate you want to convert to an MP3, and click convert. In moments, your new file will be ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have your MP3, download it to your computer. Now you\u2019re ready to turn the file into a podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca5 Pro Tip<\/b>: If you are using Zoom to record your live podcast<\/a>, you can convert your M4A\u00a0 file into an MP3 using a audio editing tool like GarageBand or Audacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2 – Edit:<\/b> You may need to edit your audio, since video is visual and not everything will make sense in an audio version. Some converter programs allow editing, or you can use a program like Audacity<\/a> to cut parts out of the audio, add an intro and outro, and more. You may also want to clip out highlights to use in an Instagram post.  Clipchamp<\/a> is another tool you can use for editing and enhancing your audio file<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3 – Artwork:<\/b> You\u2019ll also need a piece of art for your podcast. This should be a square: 1400×1400 pixels. You can create this for free on a program like Canva<\/a> or even within Kapwing. This thumbnail will accompany your podcast channel, so make sure it\u2019s clear, eye catching, and includes the name of your podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4 – Upload to Your Host:<\/b> Upload your file and artwork to your podcasting host<\/a>. A good host will generate and update your podcast feed automatically, while also providing you with a dynamic website where your podcasts can live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5 – Submit to Directories:<\/b> Finally, submit your podcast to directories, such as the Apple Podcasts<\/a>, Google Podcasts<\/a>, Spotify<\/a>, etc. so your podcast can be found and enjoyed by people in whatever ways they choose to listen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
