AnchorFM: Effortless Podcast Production

Step 1: Sign up for Anchor

To start, you’ll need to sign up for an Anchor account. You can do this by visiting anchor.fm and clicking on the “Sign Up” button. You can sign up with your email address, or you can use your Google or Apple ID to create an account.

Step 2: Create a new podcast

Once you’ve signed up for an account, you’ll be taken to the Anchor dashboard. To create a new podcast, click on the “New Podcast” button in the top-right corner of the screen. You’ll be prompted to enter a name and description for your podcast, as well as a cover art image.

Step 3: Record your first episode

Now that you have your podcast set up, it’s time to record your first episode. Anchor makes this process easy by providing a built-in recording tool that you can use to record your voice. You can also upload your pre-recorded audio files to your Anchor account. Once you’ve recorded or uploaded your episode, you can add chapters, segments, and other elements to your episode with the Anchor editor.

Step 4: Distribute your podcast

Anchor makes it easy to distribute your podcast to popular platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts. To do this, go to the “Distribution” tab on your Anchor dashboard and connect your podcast to the platforms where you want to distribute it. Once your podcast is live on these platforms, you’ll be able to track your listeners and gain new followers.

Step 5: Promote your podcast

Promoting your podcast is an important step to help you gain listeners and build your audience. Anchor provides a variety of tools to help you promote your podcast, including the ability to share episodes on social media, embed a podcast player on your website, and promote your podcast on Anchor’s social networks. You can also use other tools like sharing on social media, creating a website, or running ads to promote your podcast.

The other bonus feature I really love with Anchor is the ability to record remotely with guests from different locations.

Record With Friends is an Anchor feature that allows you to record your podcast audio with up to five  remote guests. Your guests can use their Anchor app or Anchor on the web to join in on your call. Now with Record With Friends on the web, your guests do not have to create an account or login to join your call.

Starting a podcast with Anchor is a straightforward process that requires minimal technical knowledge. With Anchor’s easy-to-use tools, you can have your podcast up and running in no time. Happy Podcasting!
