Couple of Updates I Want To Give You Guys!

                The last 24 hours has been a lot of drama but it will not be tolerated as I was extremely stressed out all day yesterday. I almost went on a Leave of Absence but it wouldn't had made sense as the blog and social media pages would be pretty silent.  I just do not want to go silent on you guys and I want to stay as active as possible. So that is the first thing I wanted to tell you guys. 


-  The next thing is some great news! I am officially got access to ITunes PodcastConnect and able to login again. Switched the information incase this happens again. So what I have done this morning is go ahead and submitted The Entertainment Man Podcast to the platform for approval so we will once again be back onto ITunes.

- Also the second thing I want to tell you guys we officially got approved onto TuneIn.com as I got the confirmation email in the CBOTW Email this morning so that is great and hope to have a full update soon on the platforms it is up.

- The third thing is the issue with Google Chrome it was our Chrome here in the studio that was the issue we were having and it was us and we are working around the clock to fixing that as right now we are using Firefox while we try and correct this issue.

- Finally we surpassed 70,000 (70K) here on the website which is incredible growth to the website and I never thought within a year of having the .com domain it would become so huge thing and it has done extremely well for us and we want to continue to grow and get bigger as we continue to grow this website. We get over 100 views a day and it continues to grow each and everyday.


               Those are the updates and what has been going on and I am feeling a tad bit better and today will be about my mental health today and getting back to a happier Chris. I know I am suppose to record today and I am going to try to even if it is this evening I will try and record so I can edit tomorrow throughout the day tomorrow and get that preview ready for you guys as I enjoy posting those up every week and  you guys seem to really enjoy getting a sneak peek and I plan on continuing with those to hype you guys for Sunday!

What Makes A Good Podcast?

                What makes a good podcast? Several things that makes a good podcast and that is what I am going to talk about today is what makes a good podcast and also give you tips to become a successful podcaster, like myself and many other amazing podcasts out there. 


1)     Good audio, having crisp and clear audio, my recommendation is 128 KBPS (Kilobytes Per Second) is the best setting for your audio sound. I also do recommend MP3 format for your podcast which sounds amazing if you ask me.

2) Use the platforms that will get you good views and I highly recommend staying on Audio Only as it has brought tons of viewers but if you want to do video that is also fine as well, it is totally up to the podcaster and what you are most comfortable with podcasting on. The more platforms you are on the better, not necessary, go on the ones that you think you will be successful on then it is totally up to you.

3) Choosing your platforms you wanna be on, I.E. Stitcher, TuneIn.com, Player.FM, Podcasts.com, Mixcloud, ITunes.

4) The platforms I do highly recommend to try and use for podcasts are Stitcher, TuneIn.com, Player.FM, Podcasts.com

5) Lengthwise? Well it up to you, it can be 15 minutes, 20 - 30 minutes, it can be an hour but I recommend, if you guys do not mind me recommending but you can try the other ones that are listed on here. 

6) The ones that I recommend to you guys can try but again, it is totally up to you guys the Podcaster to where you would like to have your podcast on. The ones I do recommend are TuneIn.com, Podcasts.com, Player.FM, those are the platforms I am on and love every moment and highly recommend them, especially Player.FM as they featured my podcast under Reality TV Roundup, so you could end up featured on there! TuneIn, you grow fast and the furious and loving the platform all together. 


                 The most important part of podcasts is your sound quality so people can understand what you are saying or if you are doing a music type of podcast, please note you have to have a music license to play it, you gotta make sure the quality is crisp and clear. Also platforms that will help you grow in the long run, like I mentioned above. If you do what I said above, you will be a huge success. Don't stress if it is perfect, you will perfect it in time, just be patient! Have a great night!

What Platforms Has My Podcast Been On?

             I have been doing podcasts since September 2015, as you know my history of Everything About Reality TV starting on YouTube, now on Audio ONLY platforms and this is why I am writing today's blog post is to talk about platforms you can podcast on and which ones you should be on. Let me say this first, it doesn't matter what platform you are on, it is the platforms that works for you and I am going to talk about which ones I am on and why, but also the different platforms I have discovered over the course of the last year that you can get your podcast on. 


              Podcasts.com: The primary platform my podcast is on and it has been a great platform and if you need an RSS, this is a great platform to grow on and that's another blog post for another day talking about Growth. But when I moved over from Mixcloud due to the viewership on there wasn't overly the greatest and was hard to get a following on there that is why I chose podcasts.com and I think I found this site through Rob Has A Podcast (RHAP) if I remember correctly. I am still currently with them to this current time and loving how my podcast has grown so fast.


               Stitcher: It was another great platform but the problem I did have with them and I am not putting them down and I think it was because of the growth of their website which does put a smile but if you want to grow you have to break the website, someway, somehow. I know that with my own website. But after 4 - 6 months I started to grow on there but the problem was the feed wasn't updating or took over 2 hours for a 30 min - 45 min podcast, but they told me it was their site is growing which is a great thing. I will be forever grateful for them allowing me on their website as a start to my podcasting career so I am very humble for the opportunity there. 


                TuneIn.com: Tunein, I absolutely love TuneIn.com, been a great experience and I have grown on there with currently 8 favorites and Tunein is a huge for Radio Stations & Podcasts, even local stations here, Toronto and all over Canada and the world. So it is worth it to get onto TuneIn if you want to grow. 


                  Player FM: Player FM is one of my favorite platforms as currently I am featured with them under Reality TV Round-Up which is very cool and I proud of actually being recognized for the hard work I have done in the last year. You can now say I am among the other great podcasters out there like RHAP (Rob Has A Podcast)


                   ITunes: Was great to be on one of the bigger platforms once again, but again I had some technical issues with it but a lot of the views I'm sure came from there, but obviously as you know I had to pull out of there, however I may return there in the near future but highly recommend it if you wanna grow as a podcast.


                   So which one's do I recommend to use? Well it depends which platform or platforms you wanna be on and are doing well on, so it has to do with the podcast individual or individuals choice of preference  and I am only giving my opinion on the ones I have been with but these are the main ones I am or was involved with in the past.
