Podcasting vs YouTube: Which Is Better for Experts in 2021?

MicroFamous

Can both podcasting and YouTube work for introverts?This question has come up several times in the last few days, with both clients and new prospects.

My answer is absolutely! Both platforms work well for introverts.

However, the one you choose to focus on depends on your goals, and there are big pitfalls to getting it wrong (listen to the full episode for more on that).

Let's start with 3 things podcasting and YouTube have in common.

1. Time-shifted - Content can be recorded, edited and published weeks or even months apart
2. Optimizable - The final product can be broken down into small pieces and optimized one piece at a time - every part doesn’t have to be perfect in real time
3. Long shelf life - Both podcasts and YouTube videos get found months and years later.

In the episode we also share 4 reasons for video podcasting even if you don't intend to grow a YouTube channel, and we finish by answering the question, "Can a podcast and YouTube channel co-exist?"
