How do I get more listeners for my Podbean podcast?

Play a short clip of an episode as a YouTube ad, in front of people who watch your topic. With Sprizzy you mark the video Podcast, choose Visit a link and paste your Podbean show or episode address. A tap opens the episode page, with the Play button right there. Pick a budget from $50 and Sprizzy builds the campaign in Google Ads.

From a clip on YouTube to the Play button

Most podcast plugs ask people to go and search for the show. This ad hands them the episode in one tap.

Set up your Podbean page for new listeners

Four Podbean choices decide whether a tap turns into a play.

Show page or episode page: which should the ad open?

Match the link to the clip. If the ad plays a moment from one episode, paste that episode's page, which sits at yourshow.podbean.com/e/ followed by the episode name. The viewer lands on the talk they just heard a piece of. Use the show page when the clip is a trailer for the whole series. The builder shows "PodBean link" for both.

Can I make the episode link easier to read?

Yes. Podbean lets you edit the end of each episode link in the Podbean Episode Link field, with letters, numbers, dashes and underscores. Set it before launch, then paste the final address into Sprizzy, so the ad never points at a link you later change.

What should the clip show if my podcast is audio only?

Use your cover art or a moving sound wave, with big captions, so the clip makes sense with the sound off. Pick a moment that lands a point in under a minute: a strong opinion, a surprise answer, a story that turns. End by saying the show name, so people know what they will find on Podbean.

Which episode should I promote first?

One a stranger can enjoy without hearing the others. An interview or a one-topic episode beats part three of a series. Open the episode page on a phone and check the player and the show notes, since Google reviews the page an ad opens as well as the video.

What YouTube adds to a Podbean show

People pick a new show by how the host sounds. A clip lets them hear you before they press Play.

They hear your voice first

Cover art and a title cannot tell anyone if you are funny, calm or sharp. Thirty seconds of you talking can, and the people who like it tap through.

Fans of the subject, not of podcasts

Plenty of people who would love your show never browse a podcast app. They do watch YouTube videos about true crime, cooking or the stock market, and that is where the ad finds them.

Time the push with a new episode

Start a promotion the week an episode drops and pause between seasons. Sprizzy shows taps and their cost, and Podbean shows the plays that came after.

Your Podbean podcast on YouTube in 3 simple steps

Pick a video, point the ad at Podbean, set a budget. Sprizzy builds the campaign and runs it for you.

Step 1: Cut a clip and post it on YouTube

One strong minute from an episode, with captions. If you film the show, use the footage. The ad plays from YouTube, so upload it there first.

Step 2: Choose Podcast, then Visit a link

Pick the Podcast video type and tap Visit a link. Paste your Podbean show or episode address into "Link to your page". The builder shows "PodBean link".

Step 3: Set the countries and a budget

Choose where your listeners are and spend from $50. Sprizzy reads the clip, picks keywords and channels, and builds the campaign in Google Ads.

Podcasters on Podbean ask, we answer

What people ask before sending a YouTube ad to Podbean.

How do I promote my Podbean podcast with YouTube ads?

Put a short clip from an episode on YouTube, then start a Sprizzy promotion with it. Choose the Podcast video type, tap Visit a link and paste your Podbean address. Pick a budget from $50. Google Ads plays the clip to people who watch your topic, and a tap opens your show on Podbean.

How do I get more listeners on Podbean?

Reach people where they already watch and listen. Share each episode with your own followers, and use a Sprizzy promotion to reach strangers on YouTube who like your topic. The ad plays your clip, and one tap opens the episode on Podbean, so a new listener is one press of Play away.

Do I need a video podcast to advertise on YouTube?

No. An audio show can turn a clip into a simple video: your cover art or a sound wave, with large captions on screen. Upload it to YouTube and use it for the Sprizzy promotion. If you film your show, use that footage instead.

Who sees my podcast ad?

People on YouTube who watch videos about what your show covers, in the countries you choose. Sprizzy takes the first keywords from your clip's title, description and captions, then tests 200+ audience combinations (topics, keywords, channels, ages, places) and keeps the ones that connect. Edit the keywords before launch if you like.

What does it cost to promote a Podbean podcast?

From $50, and you pay as you go. Sprizzy has no monthly fees and no contracts, so you can stop between seasons. Your Podbean plan is separate. The first promotion you run comes with our money-back guarantee.

Let new listeners hear you first, then press Play on Podbean.
