Writing top-performing show notes
I’ve recently started to write out show notes at work for podcasts and videos. I’m still searching for some official guidelines on the topic - with great examples. However, I found some in Jason Van Orden’s How to podcast and in Scott Bourne’s Show Notes: outline your topic, provide names of people speaking or appearing, etc.
Here are my personal tips to writing top performing show notes:
- Make a clear and keywork-rich title
- Limit your description to one paragraph
- Include some links
- Add one or two top performing tags
(using Google’s Keyword tool)
Title and tags are key. What are your views on the topic?
