☑ Ideally, keep your trailer under 60 seconds
Make sure your trailer is less than a minute long. The aim is to keep it short enough to encourage listeners to hit play, while quickly conveying the essence of your podcast 💎
☑ Think of your trailer as a teaser for your podcast
Your trailer should reflect the world and general vibe of your podcast. Use it to showcase your unique tone, storytelling style, and sound design to swiftly attract your target audience 🤩
☑ Write a script for your trailer
Your trailer is the showcase of your podcast and will likely be the most played episode initially. Avoid improvisation; prepare your content so that potential listeners quickly understand who you are and what your podcast is about 🎤
☑ Use your trailer to build anticipation for future episodes
Like a movie trailer, your podcast trailer should make viewers want more – in this case, make listeners eager to hear more! 🎧 Don’t hesitate to spark curiosity by hinting at upcoming episode topics to build excitement and interest.
💡 Adding calls to action in both your audio and episode description can be a great way to encourage listeners to subscribe on their favorite platform and spread the word about your podcast 💜
☑ Label the episode as a Trailer
Once published on Ausha, mark the episode as “Trailer” in the Episode Type section of the episode creation form 📤
