Pick ONE:

YouTube or Podcast

If you could only use one for your marketing - which do you pick?

I’d pick YouTube.

Not only because you can take the audio from your video for a podcast.

We’ll forget about that cheat code.

But it provides the best option for growth.

YouTube beats podcasts on three things:

  1. Searchability (being able to be discovered)
  2. Brand (persona) building
  3. Better distribution

#1: Searchability

People go to YouTube to get shit done.

They search for how to {insert}. Or they are trying to gain insights on {insert}.

If your audience is searching for things, you need to create content that “answers” them.

Podcasts do not work this way.

Rarely do I open up Spotify if I have a question or want to do something better (in the moment).

Instead, I follow my favorite shows or people and routinely listen.

YouTube is a video search engine. Podcasts are NOT a search engine.

#2: Brand/Persona building
