Master List Of Podcast RSS Feed Hosts & Directories

Take your podcast marketing visibility to the next-level by strategically leveraging your podcast's RSS XML feed. I advocate a multi-level, tiered link building approach to your audio or video podcast marketing strategy.

Primary Podcast Feed Hosts

The vast majority of you reading this will use a podcast hosting service like RSS.com or Spotify who will serve-up your channel and episode content. They provide the PRIMARY RSS Feed URL that you will use everywhere else in your podcast directory submission efforts. Your hosting platform may also syndicate your show content to their other important partner sites automatically for you. You definiely want to be on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon and YouTube - But that's only a start of of a successful marketing plan.

Secondary Podcast Feed Submissions

Getting your show listed on the those Top-Tier platforms may get you 75%-90% of your potential core audience. But there are other significant players like iHeart Radio, Pocketcasts, etc. should be your next feed submission priorities. Don't leave potential reach and visibility on the table.

Podcast SEO Optimization Tips

Before you even begin running and launching a podcast: A LOT of foresight needs to go into setting up and optimizing your channel. It's a lot like doing technical SEO and keyword optimization on web pages. You want to structure the podcast show's Title, Description, URL and create the show's cover thumbnail for optimal visual and name-recognition branding.

The keywords you choose matter - both for your Channel Name and setup as a whole, and in carefully crafted keyword-loaded Season/Episode Titles, Descriptions, and in Filename choices for URL slugs as well.

Architect first, then build and replicate a really consistent, highly optimal podcast feed marketing framework to use for every episode in a season or series.

Podcast Marketing Tips & Strategies

Don't stop at submitting to directories and hoping for the best. Leverage your own website as well. Embed the player in your own blog posts for every episode - then submit your own blog's feed URL to the sites I recommend in the Master RSS Feed Directory List as well.

Leverage Social Automation Tools

Share your Channel - and especially new episode URLs - *BROADLY* across every social media profile you have. There are many social automation platforms like Buffer, Publer, Metricool, Dlvr.it, Fedica, etc. that can help you share each episode out to several socials in a few clicks. Even the free, basic tiers can post to a limited set of your social accounts that matter most.

Dlvr.it in particular has the easiest RSS Feed automation integration setup. Configure it once for sharing out your podcast's XML feed URL, and you never have to think about it again.
