EPIOSDE 7 - Start with Your Podcast Trailer - What to Include and What to Exclude

Creating a podcast trailer is a great way to introduce your podcast to potential listeners and build anticipation for your upcoming episodes. Here are some steps you can follow to create a compelling podcast trailer:

1. Start with a hook: Your trailer should grab the listener's attention right from the start. Start with a hook that highlights the unique aspect of your podcast and why someone should listen to it.
2. Keep it short: Your trailer should be no longer than 60 seconds. You want to give enough information to entice listeners, but not so much that it becomes overwhelming or boring.
3. Introduce yourself and your podcast: Tell the listener who you are and what your podcast is about. This is your chance to establish your credibility and showcase your personality.
4. Highlight your best content: Use clips or excerpts from your upcoming episodes to showcase your best content. This will give listeners a taste of what they can expect from your podcast.
5. Call to action: End your trailer with a call to action, encouraging listeners to subscribe to your podcast, leave a review, or follow you on social media.
6. Edit and polish: Once you've recorded your trailer, edit it to make it sound professional. Add music, sound effects, or other elements to make it more engaging and appealing to listeners.

Remember, your podcast trailer is your first impression with potential listeners, so make sure it accurately represents your podcast and captures their interest.
