391. 11 Tips for Sharing URLs in Your Podcast

The Audacity to Podcast®

About

There comes a point in every podcast when it's necessary to say a URL. If for nothing else, at least your podcast's own home on the Internet. (And you should have a domain for your podcast!)


Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/sharingurls


1. Speak as few URLs as possible (per episode)

    Pretty Links Pro: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/go/prettylinkpro

2. Defer to your chapters or episode notes

    Check out Knick Knack News for a great example of actionable episode notes: https://knickknacknews.com/
    Captivate: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/captivate
    Buzzsprout: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/buzzsprout
    Blubrry: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/blubrry
    I'm pushing hard for Podcasting 2.0 to turn our current podcast chapters into “super chapters”: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/discussions/469

3. Never say "https://" or "www."
4. Simplify your URLs

    Remove the third-party brand name completely and make it a generic URL: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/stop-saying-brand-names-in-your-podcast-do-these-5-things-instead/
    Patreon: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/patreon

5. Make friendly URLs that make sense

    Episode numbers didn't actually matter: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/are-podcast-episode-numbers-really-necessary-in-podcasting-show-notes-tap175/

6. Say "slash" not "forward slash" or "backslash"
7. Slow down and speak clearly

8. Clarify or avoid ambiguity
9. Be careful with top-level domains that aren't .com

10. Beware case-sensitivity
11. Always test your URLs before you share them
