Have you guys heard of what SocialCam has been able to do in a short period of time?<\/p>\n
According to Business Insider it looks like Facebook helped them explode to 75 million users in 15 months<\/a>!<\/p>\n In my humble opinion, I don\u2019t think Facebook did it.<\/p>\n I think Facebook helped an awful lot, but there were other very important factors that helped propel SocialCam to that huge level of growth.<\/p>\n Now, why am I bring this up?<\/p>\n Because for us as podcasters, whether we want to admit it or not, Facebook already does or will play a very big part in our ability to get our shows discovered beyond iTunes.<\/strong><\/p>\n That\u2019s the key phrase beyond iTunes.<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, we absolutely want to have presence in iTunes, but we also need to see the bigger picture.<\/p>\n One way to reach out beyond iTunes<\/strong> is to have a presence on Facebook, even if it\u2019s at minimum sharing your podcast on your profile wall.<\/p>\n Optimally, getting your own Podcast Facebook Page<\/a> and adding a way to easily play your podcast from that Page<\/a> is the way to go.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s go back to SocialCam<\/a>. Here is a key bit of insight from the All Things D article<\/a> as to how SocialCam grew so much:<\/p>\n \u201cFacebook timeline and Open Graph integration have helped make Socialcam explode. Whenever a user watches or creates a video on Socialcam, the activity appears on their Facebook feeds\u201d<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n It\u2019s that whole Open Graph integration that makes things so sticky over there in Facebook land<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We are doing our best to provide tools for you guys to make it that sticky.<\/p>\n In our latest article giving you the down low<\/a> about our Customized Tab Facebook Player<\/a>, we explain that if someone happens to play any of your episode using that player they will show up on that users Activity.<\/em><\/p>\n Just that little posting will offer up an opportunity for your podcast to be seen in larger circles. Also, the more users authorize the Libsyn Player App, the more potential for discovery, simply because more people are using it, and more people are apt to search and browse for more content within the app.<\/p>\n How to get more people to authorize the app and consume more podcasts<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s so nice to tell someone to listen to your podcast straight from Facebook. There\u2019 s more of an opportunity for them to hit play than if you sent them somewhere else.<\/p>\n We are continuing to refine and iterate the libsyn Player.<\/p>\n We will be making it more and more awesome as time goes by and are actively seeking your input and feedback to help us on this journey.<\/p>\n So how about it podcasters?
