The Best Way to Share Your Podcast on LinkedIn

When you’re strategizing on how to share your podcast across social media, LinkedIn might not be the first platform that comes to mind. But in recent years, LinkedIn has seen a major revival, becoming a much more content-friendly platform with content creators represented in virtually every industry. Approximately 154 million American workers (and 30 million companies) have LinkedIn profiles, and it’s still growing… statistics show that two professionals join LinkedIn every second. Not to mention, creators on the platform boast it’s a high organic reach compared to other social networks. There is a lot of potential, even for podcasters…

Sharing your podcast on LinkedIn could be a great way to widen your podcast’s audience. And, when you use Wavve, it’s easy!

If you’re brand-new to sharing video content on LinkedIn, here are a few best practices to keep in mind:

• Prominently feature any podcast guests by adding their headshot to your Wavve video design.
• Make your video visually compelling by adding a waveform animation (Wavve comes with over a dozen)

Remember when we said we’d come back to the whole website thing? Well, that’s where Wavve Link comes in! Wavve Link is a simple, shareable website for your podcast that provides you with a single link to share across all of your social media platforms.

When you’re promoting your podcast, you’ll likely find a number of links that you need to share over and over again: the link to your latest episode, links to the various podcast players (since everyone seems to have a different favorite), links to your social media accounts, etc. Wavve Link directs your listeners to one website where they can download, subscribe, and connect to your podcast.

Wherever you’re sharing your podcast on LinkedIn, whether it’s on your personal profile or a business LinkedIn page, you can share this one single link every time. You can even use Wavve Link to build your email list and to track your analytics (so you know which social media platform is driving the most traffic to your podcast).
