Starting an Online Community Around Your Show

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about starting an online community around your podcast. This lets you engage in discussion with your podcast audience. It allows you to get feedback, and generate enthusiasm. It even allows listeners to meet and get to know one another, and this is a powerful thing. There are a few plugins that let you build your community on your own WordPress site. A couple of good options here are bbPress and CM Answers. If you and your listeners are on Facebook, then you can start a group there. Discord is also an increasingly popular option amongst podcasters, too. Regardless of where you create your community, be sure to mention it in your Calls to Action, and to link clearly to it in your shownotes and website.
