And now, this week's episode.
Speaker:
00:00:19
A podcast trailer is great for letting potential listeners know
Speaker:
00:00:26
what your show is about,
Speaker:
00:00:27
as well as helping promote your show on
Speaker:
00:00:28
social media, newsletters and elsewhere. But how long should a podcast trailer be?
Speaker:
00:00:33
Well one thing to remember is it's not the same as a podcast introductory
Speaker:
00:00:36
episode. An introductory episode is more like a normal episode and can last
Speaker:
00:00:40
anywhere between 5 and 10 minutes. A trailer on the other hand is short, punchy
Speaker:
00:00:45
and is meant to act as a quick way for you to tell listeners what to expect
Speaker:
00:00:48
from your podcast. Ideally a trailer should have who you are, what the podcast
Speaker:
00:00:52
is about, what listeners can expect as takeaways, how often you publish, what
Speaker:
00:00:56
days you publish and where to find your podcast. The length of time can vary but
Speaker:
00:01:00
most effective trailers are normally between 60 and 90 seconds. That's long
Speaker:
00:01:04
enough to get across what you need and short enough to keep it punchy. Until the
Speaker:
00:01:08
next time, happy podcasting. If you're enjoying One Minute Podcast Tips,
