Transcribed podcast episodes are more accessible, reach more subscribers, and boost your SEO

You started your podcast for a reason. You probably want to reach and inform people interested in your topic, you may hope to grow your personal brand, network with like-minded folks, or draw attention to a related business or organization. Maybe you simply do it for fun!

Whatever your reason, the purpose is to get the word out, and the more ways you can do that, the better.

You put a lot of effort into creating each episode. Making sure to put that material to work to benefit your listeners and yourself is a no-brainer.

Your listeners enjoy tuning in, but there are always people who need or prefer to consume the material in written form. Providing a transcript reaches more people, period.

It also makes your site more searchable, as Google and others can index the full text of your keyword-rich discussion – and we all know how much your site benefits from regular injections of fresh content!

You can even compile popular episodes into premium content such as an e-book! See this CastingWords blog post for details: Grow Your Email List by Turning a Podcast Episode into an eBook
