How To Get Social Media Likes For Your Podcast?
You can simply have your audience members come to your podcast profile page on the World Podcast Network and click the heart icon under the podcast title. That's it. Your audience members must be logged in to like a podcast and they can sign up for free. Getting likes is as simple as clicking the heart icon. The likes update every hour, so they will take some time to show. The number of likes temporarily increases after the heart is clicked and the podcast is liked.
The more likes a podcast has on the World Podcast Network, the more popular they are and this also raises your rankings in the
podcast network leaderboard / top podcasts. Just as social media rank some posts by the number of likes, the
leaderboard does as well.
Comments are a popular feature of all social networks. Every social network has a commenting feature which is available for posts. On the
World Podcast Network, comments are currently available for each podcast. On the podcast profile page, a comment form is available on the left side (as of this writing). Again, people who comment on your podcast must be logged in. Once they are, they can rate the podcast from 1 to 5 stars and add a comment of up to 250 characters (this limit may change in the future).
The more comments a podcaster receives, the higher their rankings on the
World Podcast Network leaderboard.
You can tell your podcast audience that commenting is available and provide the link to your podcast profile. Once your subscribers sign up and log in (for free), they can leave the comments and your rating on your profile.
