How a Podcasting Virtual Assistant Helps You Stay on Top

If you want to raise brand awareness through your very own podcast series, getting a podcasting virtual assistant is the way to go.

With podcasts becoming one of the most popular means to educate and reach out to clients in this time of the pandemic, you might as well get to starting your own series and building a loyal following through it. 

However, making great content and promoting your podcast can be a tedious endeavor. From ensuring the audio is clear to announcing an episode on social media and email, you will need all the help you can get to create a podcast series that your audience will definitely follow. 

While everyone’s podcasting these days, a podcasting virtual assistant can help you cut through the noise. Here are the benefits of hiring one:

Researching topics that you wish to talk about in your podcast can take up too much time, especially if you want to pick one that your target audience will love to listen to.

Topic research can take a number of hours across tasks such as fact-checking and coming up with great talking points. This is where a VA comes in. You can save time by letting your VA generate a list of topics you can pick from.

A great podcast series requires high-quality video and audio. Podcasting virtual assistants can help with post-production tasks like removing background noises and taking out filler words. They can also add transitions, animations, and background music that will set the tone of each episode and keep your audience glued in.

Do you need a logo that fits your podcast?

VAs with podcast production experience can help reduce the workload and time it takes to create a logo and other visual elements for your episodes.

They can also create graphics that serve as a decent cover to your podcast. After all, your podcast series is its own brand, so it’s important to make it distinguishable from other podcasts in the same niche.

Transcribing your podcasts helps listeners with hearing problems or those who simply wish to follow word for word.

If your podcasts run for an hour or more, a VA can review and transcribe your episodes for you. This helps you save more time for other important activities. 

For this, opt for a VA with excellent listening and writing skills. That way, you can add transcriptions that are clear and within the context of the speakers involved in each episode. 

Apart from technical and creative support, a podcasting virtual assistant can help you promote each episode across different social media platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. 

In order to widen your brand’s reach further, you can have your VA upload episodes to streaming sites such as Spotify, Soundcloud, YouTube, and PodBean. The more directories you use the better since you want to give listeners as many options for streaming your podcast as possible.
