Levelator: A Simple Guide to Publishing Your Podcast

Are you ready to share your voice with the world and start a successful podcast? With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin. In this post, we'll break down the process of publishing a podcast into 7 easy steps.

First, let's talk about gear. You have two main options: recording directly on your smartphone or using a microphone and computer software to record audio. Both methods can work well, especially when you're just starting out. If you choose to use your smartphone, keep in mind that the audio quality may not be as high as recording directly onto your computer.

Once you've recorded your audio, it's time to convert it into an MP3 file. You'll need a program like VLC Media Player to do this. This free tool will allow you to download the video as an MP4 and then convert it to an MP3.

For those who want more control over their podcasting process, we recommend using a site like Levelator to download YouTube videos directly onto your computer. This can be especially helpful if you're creating podcasts from existing video content.

Now that you have your audio recorded and converted, let's move on to the next step in publishing your podcast: getting your hosting platform set up. In this post, we'll cover everything from choosing a good hosting platform to submitting your podcast to directories like Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
