In episode 17, I shared how to make it easy to follow your podcast with a single follow link. But you can go one step further by creating a custom bio link that allows you to promote certain episodes, newsletters, merchandise, and more.

You're listening to One Minute Podcast Tips.

I'm your host, Danny Brown.

And each episode brings you snack-sized tips

to be a better podcaster.

And now, this week's episode.

When it comes to growing your podcast,

making it easy to follow is one of the best ways to do that,

which is why in episode 17 I shared some options that are available for that.

However, that's just for the podcast.

But another way is to use a custom bio link.

So for your social media profiles, instead of just having one link that goes to your podcast website,

or maybe Apple or Spotify,

a custom bio link allows you to not only share your podcast,

but certain episodes, a newsletter, and more.

And depending on what bio link software you use,

you can even embed episodes and videos.

Again, making it super easy for listeners to check out your show before following it.

And the good thing is, there's a few options out there,

so you can choose the one that's best for you.

There's Linktree, there's BioLink,

there's a new one I'm checking out at the moment

called PodBio, and others.

And I'll be sure to leave links in the show notes

for you to check them out.

The great thing with custom bio links

is you're not limited to just one podcast.

If you've got multiple shows, you can add them all there,

highlight popular episodes, and more.

It's a great way to share as much detail as you can

about your podcast with just one link.

Until the next time, happy podcasting.
