Thank you!! This is EXACTLY what I’ve been wanting to know about for a while now. I have a YouTube channel and want to start a podcast. I just couldn’t fit the puzzle together as to how to do a video podcast that’s optimized for both platforms. And you solved it!!

Starting to offer a video version of my podcast episodes after about 5 years of only doing audio is one of the best decisions I've ever made. It ended up doubling my listeners, both due to adding new forms of discoverability on YouTube, but also because some people just prefer to watch video and will *only* tune in if there is a video version. So it is kind of a no-brainer if you want to double your audience.

The solution is to start a podcast channel and keep it SEPARATE from your main youtube channel. The podcast playlist can be featured on your main channel page, but don't post podcast episodes on your main channel because that can hurt retention and future video performance.

You the man Pat!! I launched my audio pod in 2016 with your YouTube tutorial and I’m back for micro clipping!

[Darin.Eubanks]

Thank you Pat for all of your amazing content. You have been so inspirational to me in my podcasting journey. Love what you do. Blessings.

Thank you so much Pat! As always, you've saved me time, money, and a lot of frustration. After 61 episodes of the Derate The Hate podcast, I am just starting to gain some traction and build my audience. I am wanting to do more on YouTube and was about to do exactly what you said will do damage to the channel. I will be working on putting together the snips of interviews rather than the whole things. Thanks again, you're the best. So grateful for what you're doing!!

Thank you for the great tips Pat. I've started my own podcast 2 months ago and I just uploaded all the videos to youtube. But now after listening to this video I might start just smaller clips to YouTube to make it more digestible. Thank you again for the great info brother 🤙 #StaySore

Time well spent. Thank you Pat Flynn for this amazing content. Just got into the podcast space and I am using my phone for now. My podcast is all about self help and self improvement and I am going to apply this knowledge to this Youtube channel.

[TheZGALa]

Thanks Pat. I started The Authentic Action Podcast a few years ago, and flopped a few times. I am getting ready to make another fresh start at the start of next year, and setting up a new plan and studio the next couple months. You remain a solid voice in the arena. I appreciate you!

[berniechats]

Great info Pat! Thanks for putting this together. Just going into phase 2 of my video podcast project and will be taking your ideas into account. Keep up the good work!

[GregMacDonald-gmac]

Wow, yet another brilliant, digestible how-not-to-waste your time and money from easily the best resource for anyone wanting to podcast. Thanks for the generosity, Pat!

[TheSimpleCitizen]

Pat, this was great! Thanks for these really easy to follow pointers that helped me understand some potential solutions for obstacles i was a little intimidated by but couldn't even quite describe. This helped bring some clarity! Keep it up.

[FiyahLife]

This was so helpful. I was just in my room brainstorming ideas for my new video podcast show and then your video showed up on my homepage, meant to be. I loved the tips you gave at the end. Thank you so much.

[hugotradio]

Great tips Pat! Thank you! Gonna apply them on my channel. Cheers! :)

Hey Pat just discovered you today and love the information that you provide for beginner podcasters! A buddy and I have started our own podcast (called Parent DisApproval if anyone is interested) and we are mainly an audio podcast, but we have video recorded every episode. We were going to drop entire episodes on YouTube but thanks to your advice I think we will end up dropping video segments. Appreciate all that you do!!

[travisfellows]

Thanks Pat! I recently started the "Explore the Everyday" podcast with a friend of mine and we had discussed adding a video element. Now I understand why we shouldn't just upload the full episode! I think we are going to think about uploading short segments to grab viewers' attention and link back to the full length audio podcast.

[michellemack]

Just gathering information to start my podcast at the end of the month. Thank goodness I found you! This is extremely helpful...you’ve gained another faithful follower!

[AndrewMartinIsHere]

Pat, your advice and tutorials are absolutely priceless. Whilst listening to your video, i was in other tabs, which i guess follows on from the point you were making. I agree, it's not my favourite thing when i have to flip back to the tab or screen to see what someone is talking to camera about, and it can be annoying. I'm not really a TV, film, or video watcher, and much prefer audio, as I can get on with other things whilst listening, or as is often the case, I listen as I wind down the day in bed. Sage advice from you got me started with The Family Histories Podcast, and I've been enjoying charting these last couple of weeks in Apple Podcasts 'Top Charts' for History in UK, Canada, and Australia. Thank you for everything in 2021, and I wish you health and happiness through 2022.

[TashoyWalters]

I am so happy your video that populated when I looked up video podcasting. I love the micro video idea. This information really helped alot. Thank you

[levarsity]

I’m happy I found this because I was already thinking this and you confirmed it for me. Thanks!
