11 Tips for Sharing URLs in Your Podcast The Audacity to Podcast

There comes a point in every podcast when it's necessary to say a URL. If for nothing else, at least your podcast's own home on the Internet. (And you should have a domain for your podcast!)



Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/sharingurls



## 1. Speak as few URLs as possible (per episode)



- Pretty Links Pro: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/go/prettylinkpro



## 2. Defer to your chapters or episode notes



- Check out Knick Knack News for a great example of actionable episode notes: https://knickknacknews.com/

- Captivate: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/captivate

- Buzzsprout: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/buzzsprout

- Blubrry: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/blubrry

- I'm pushing hard for Podcasting 2.0 to turn our current podcast chapters into “super chapters”: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/discussions/469



## 3. Never say "https://" or "www."



## 4. Simplify your URLs



- Remove the third-party brand name completely and make it a generic URL: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/stop-saying-brand-names-in-your-podcast-do-these-5-things-instead/

- Patreon: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/patreon



## 5. Make friendly URLs that make sense



- Episode numbers didn't actually matter: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/are-podcast-episode-numbers-really-necessary-in-podcasting-show-notes-tap175/



## 6. Say "slash" not "forward slash" or "backslash"



## 7. Slow down and speak clearly



- Podcast transcripts: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/how-to-use-podcast-transcripts/



## 8. Clarify or avoid ambiguity



## 9. Be careful with top-level domains that aren't .com

## 10. Beware case-sensitivity



## 11. Always test your URLs before you share them
