Podcasts are becoming more popular among bloggers. There are many people that still think that Podcasts cannot drive traffic to your Blog. However, there are ways to go about it that will make people happy that do not want to listen to audio and people that just went to read.
I am going to start having Podcasts here on this blog but I definitely will still have articles. Hello I have gone through the reasons why like the idea of having Podcasts on blogs. There are probably many more reasons that it will work, but these are the reasons why I have decided to do it.
Reasons for blog podcasting
1. Podcasts allow people to listen
This will allow anyone that likes to listen and not read to do so. This might give me more subscribers because they are given the choice of listening. This is probably one of the best reasons there is to have podcasting on a Blog.
2. Transcript choice
You can write transcripts for the people that would rather read the information. This will give you subscribers that would rather read and listen and that is a plus. With the choice of audio or writing, it will give me the potential to get many more subscribers than I thought possible.
3. SEO friendly
They will be SEO friendly for me because I will write transcripts out in article form. I like this idea because than I can still get traffic from search engines but make the people that like audio or writing happy.
4. Podcasting is easy
I have gone through and practiced a couple Podcasts. It is much easier to talk about something then to write an article out. When I go back and write my transcripts I will fix any stuttering or any issues that would make it not read like an article.
5. It makes you human
Your readers and other visitors will still like to actually know you and I see that as one of the benefits of podcasting. I will not sound like a robot by just writing articles that have no voice whatsoever. They will hear the confidence I have in what I am doing and advice I’m giving out.
I will go through step-by-step to show you what I’m doing to have podcasting on my blog. It could give you many ideas for your own blog and you might just start having Podcasts also. I’m hoping it more subscribers and satisfy many more people.

Your points are exactly the reason why I’ve started to get into video and podcasting recently on many of my blogging adventures. The biggest, I feel, is that it adds personality to your content. People are not only buying your information – but you – as an entertaining personality.
Great thoughts. Thanks!
