Why You Should Create A Gmail For Your Podcast
When you create a new podcast, it’s important to start by getting a new Gmail for your show. This may seem like a simple step, but trust us, it will save you a lot of time in the long run.
After starting their show, many podcasters use their personal emails to publish their podcasts onto the major listening platforms. There isn’t necessarily anything wrong with that if you’re planning on keeping your podcast as a hobby; however, if you’re a brand or planning on taking your show to the next level, you need to have a centralized place to manage your show.
Benefits of creating a Gmail for your show:
- A centralized inbox for all of your invoices and requests will make it easier to find the things you’re looking for. Why dig through your personal email when you can just have everything in one place?
- A Gmail is necessary to distribute to YouTube Podcasts (formally Google Podcasts). When you’re ready to submit your show to the listening platforms, having a Gmail makes the submission process on YouTube substantially simpler and faster.
- Use your Gmail to create accounts on all the other listening platforms and submit your show. By using one email account dedicated to your show, it will make it easier to keep track of approvals and confirmation codes.
- Safety-first.Mitigate your personal cyber exposure by using a new email for your show. Let’s say your podcast got hacked, the only thing that the threat actor could access is your podcast, rather than your personal accounts.
