Let's dive into Lipson and I'm going to show you how to upload your podcast I know this isn't going
to be helpful for people who are using Lipson But if you're curious about how lips and works and you're
thinking maybe you're going to use lips and keep watching and I'll show you what you have.
They offer for your podcasts when you log in you get to your dashboard and you have some quick things
that you can do.
You can see all the stats from your podcast plays.
You can see that since July or February so it's about six months.
I've had over 35000 listens.
You can click View all Stass to see more stats.
So I'll go ahead and do that to show you.
You can break it down by month or by podcast so you see here how many listeners are actually downloads
per podcast.
So this isn't a perfect stat for how many listens because a lot of people listen to the podcast and
actually don't download it.
I'd be interested to see actually how much.
Typically a podcast is listened to based off of how many people are downloaded.
You have a quick publish option if you want to quickly publish a show.
Right from your home page I'm going to show you how to.
I typically do it.
But if you click content this is where you can see all of the podcast that you've added and that have
been published over on the left of your menu and you can see which ones are scheduled for release.
You definitely want to be Bache producing your podcast or at least batch scheduling them so you're not
having to be there the day that you want to be scheduled and pick a day and time of the week to publish
every week so people get used to it and are excited about listen to listening to your podcast every
week.
So right now you can see that I have four and more podcasts lined up.
The last one is August 28.
I actually have a new podcast that I recorded so I'm going to go ahead and schedule it.
So what you need to do is click add new content or from the content menu appear just click add new episode.
It's going to ask you what you want I'm going to do a an episode not a text post.
Now you get to your content creation page.
So the first thing I'm going to do is click Add media file to choose the MP3 file that I'm opening I
have the populate form with ID 3 data and I'll actually include a lesson after this about how to use
or add ID 3 data which is so important for podcasts.
It's basically the meta data that's added to a file that libs will read the iTunes will read to get
the podcast image description name and that kind of thing.
So I have to do is click upload from hard drive.
Then I find it.
And you'll notice that the name of the file itself does not match the name of the podcast episodes so
I have all my podcasts numbered.
So 35 is Dash AMA.
It's going to upload and then it's going to populate more of the information with what's from the ID
three tags.
Once it has uploaded we can go to the next tab which is the details tab and you can see that the title
is here.
And then it has a description.
Now the description here sometimes gets shortened because it might have a text character limit.
So I'm just going to paste the full description that I took from the ID 3 tag here in the ID 3 editor.
You can see that I have the full description here and that's where I take it from.
I'll walk through this in the next lesson though.
So make sure that everything looks good title don't need a subtitle.
The description is good because that's what shows up in the iTunes description category you want to
put the category.
I've already added this from the ID three tags.
The rest of these things I leave blank because what we've added to the ID three tags is enough information.
Click artwork to make sure that our artwork is visible.
And then lastly click scheduling.
So what I'll do is a basic release expiration.
I don't actually have an expiration date so I just click to set a new release date.
Choose the date which will be the first week of September I always released them at 3 a.m. Pacific Time.
So that's going to be 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time which is where a lot of my audience is and that's pretty
much it.
If you made any changes you can click this up the three tags.
For example if you change the title or something like that but I'm going to leave it as is and then
click publish.
Make sure you click publish and not just save as draft because this doesn't mean it's live it just means
that is publish and will be in queue for scheduling.
Now even before it goes live we can link out to this episode we can embed it on our Web site for example
on the online course Masters Web site for all of our blog articles.
We include the audio player for this podcast and that comes from Lipson.
There's different audio players out there but I just take the embed code.
I use this custom code down here that are the custom player.
And then I choose the custom color and I have my color set up right here for my branding.
Once you set up your settings just click the preview get embed code and you just take this code and
you put that on any web site page or blog post.
The other thing you'll want to do when you get set up is go to settings and then edit show settings.
And here's where you just put the general information for your show including the show title the show
slug which is kind of like the your L for the show the show description using keywords that people will
be searching for and the web address.
You can also add any of this other information but it's not necessary for getting on iTunes.
And the other podcast feeds.
You can add your artwork here which is helpful for certain podcast feeds because different people different
feeds will pull from Lipson.
If you haven't already set up for your episodes that's perfectly fine to some podcast feed such as ditcher
have a wide image so you might want to create a wide screen 16 by 9 image that you upload here to also
under settings or if you click on the show settings menu down here to act.
So defaults this is a good setting to set.
If you have specific settings for all of your episodes for example if you do you have cussing in your
show you want to make sure that your iTunes style rating is set to explicit.
You can set this for every individual episode but you won't want to forget.
You can also choose your category here which is important so that you're always posting to the same
category.
Unless something changes but typically you'll want to post to the same category under destination's
if you click Edit or view existing.
This is where you see your podcast feed.
This is where you will be what you'll be posting into iTunes or the other marketplaces to get your show
on to those platforms.
So that's just sort of a rundown of how libs and works.
If there's any questions that you have that I didn't cover please let me know.
It's fairly simple to use.
And then the next lessons we're going to be going over things like the three tags and getting your podcast
on iTunes.
