  • Podcasting vs. RUclips - which is better?
    Well, there's a lot to discuss here, from potential reach and find-ability, to competition, engagement and ease of creation.
    In this video, I go over each of those specific categories, and more, to help us determine which is better, starting a podcast, or starting a youtube channel.
    Since starting this journey back in 2009, I've recorded over 1,300 episodes of podcasts, and I've produced hundreds of videos. Both channels have been successful with over 50 million downloads of the podcast, and (as of this week) surpassing 100,000 subscribers on RUclips.
    Let's discuss. Also, this is a replay of a live video, so you may see the chat stream, and feel free to interact and discuss in the comment section as well!
    Replay viewers: if you answer this question below, you are entered into a drawing to win an #AskPat T-shirt, and a signed copy of my book, #WillItFly, on next week's live call:

    Update as of April, 2019 - latest data shows there are still only 660,000 active podcasts, still well under 1 million. Isn't that insane? It's picking up speed though, so if you're at all interested in starting a podcast, nows a good time to get in while we're still "early"!

I LOVE podcasting and I am excited to see where it goes by the end of the year!

    Pat, clearly, I listened to this way beyond your contest question, but I can tell you this.
    I have chosen Podcasting. I am ready to launch, working on interviewing high-performance people. I am going to record the sessions of my "talking head" so that I can syndicate it on RUclips.
    Phase two will be to included video of both ends of the conversation. I am still mastering the audio and podcast first.
    I consume BOTH your RUclips and Podcast content.

    Great video Pat! I use both platforms and I started back in 2009 - things were much simpler back then. Just an FYI - you can LIVE STREAM your podcast with Spreaker. It's a really cool platform and even with the mobile app you can add intros, outros, background music and sound effects while you are live. Rob Greenlee is the go-to guy for Spreaker.

  • @DariusNmN

    Excellent video and analysis. I think the fact that there is 1000 times more competition on RUclips clinches it for me. Podcasting is where my efforts will start.

  • @neroresurrected
    @neroresurrected 5 лет назад +8

    Love the video, I’m not sure it’s a fair comparison though between the two because they are different mediums that appeal to different kinds of people in general. I would also say that it is highly subjective and ultimately a personal choice in the end. It’s blatantly obvious that the argument tends to favor RUclips in the long run. I personally didn’t have to even see the whole video conclusion to simply know the the argument was won by RUclips hands down in my opinion. Just the first criteria of competition alone spoke volumes and ended the debate for me. Podcasting does really well due to The simplicity in the creative process and getting started to begin with. And with close to a million channels is quite impressive and certainly displays an enormous potential for continued growth which would make it appealing to most people starting out.
    However podcasting simply cannot touch the reach to a general audience that RUclips already does on daily basis. 500 million channels and counting speaks for itself. I would say that might be because we tend to be more visual than anything else in today’s day and age. If The idea is to get our message across to people and generate an audience in your respective market and therefore grow both your content, reach and your audience, RUclips owns this arena at the present moment and has I previously mentioned it’s not even close.
    Don’t get me wrong I love podcasting and I think it has a future still despite the exponential growth of RUclips even today but the facts and figures illustrate that podcasting tailors to a smaller sized audience and is really marketed and appealing to a certain kind of person who simply engages more with the audio experience than not. In the end I has previously noted it’s a personal choice for everyone.
    On a side note: just asks yourselves this question? Pat has this video on RUclips. Would he generate an equal if not more of a response by his audience if this video were a podcast episode on his channel?

      Thanks Theresa! Let me just ask, what’s a bigger fear, someone saying “not at the moment” of you ask, or years down the road wishing you had done it sooner? The worst than could happen is nothing compared to the best that can happen if you step outside that zone of comfort. You got this! And if you know you have something helpful to share, it’s your obligation to go out and spread that message. Your fear could get in the way of helping people, and that’s the one thing I think about all the time that keeps pushing me forward.

  • @Artnotforthesakeofart
    @Artnotforthesakeofart 5 лет назад +4

    RUclips has a very set structure of content creation. The platform, the format, the audience, the advertisements, etc. It is a lot more friendly for creators (I think patreon is catching up in its own little way).
    The main problem with podcasting (till now) is that there isn't a fixed platform where potential & active podcast listeners go to. Hence, no suggested podcasts, detailed analytics, etc are there to help the format. Spotify has some channels. But I think there is room for "the one platform" in the market which will become the "primary" place to hangout for podcast consumers.
    I agree, podcast listeners are more dedicated than youtube's audience XD

    Very timely Pat. I was weighing up which route to go because I love 'playing' with video but I think the learning curve to cut through is a lot steeper. On the flip-side I enjoy the batch-processing nature podcasts offer.
    Replay answer: this format is super Pat. Perhaps live video versus recorded video comparison?

      @scotttovey 6 лет назад +1

      Hi Ryan.
      You can record your audio podcast using video and export the audio for editing. By doing this, you will be able to create podcasts while at the same time recording video for you to practice on.
      Now, since you're focus is on podcasts, you can reduce the learning curve of videos by taking a week or two to practice doing a single editing function that you need to learn for the videos.
      Remember that in learning anything, if you divide it, you can conquer it without feeling like a confused idiot which is the human response to the information overload that our modern educational system uses.
      It's most likely the reason that standardized tests continue to decline.Children are being overloaded with information in an attempt to obtain good standardized test scores, rather than being taught to learn.

    Here's my answer to your replay question:
    I'd LOVE for you to do a series of live videos on how a full-time worker could "invest," say, 16 hours per week into a side hustle (affiliate marketing, social media marketing, etc) to create a starting income of $1,000/month and then scale to $5- $10 per month.
    I've seen a lot of vids and heard a lot of podcasts, even bought a lot of courses... but, I've not found a SINGLE course (or series) that spells out a PLAN that is easily duplicable for GETTING STARTED from step one to step done.
    I've listened to your podcast for years (about 7), watched your YT channel for years too... I know you're the man who could do this project!

    Congrats on the 100K subscribers!!!!!!!
    Question: You mentioned about doing both podcasting and/or RUclips Channel --> what are your thoughts about "both" in the way that someone like Jocko Willink does with his "Jocko Podcast"?
    Like the idea of doing the podcast but with the way he video records him doing that and being able to use it "as-is" for both.
    Even if it was a webcam or Recorded Skype/Zoom seems to be easier to be able to post to both but "repurpose" short video segments of the podcast for social media and RUclips bites.
    Thoughts? Suggestions?

  • @PhillipSwindall
    @PhillipSwindall 6 лет назад +1

    LOL!!! Alexa heard you say "spotify!"
    Just wanted to say, I agree with your evaluation (as if MY opinion matters)... the cool thing is that RUclips also offers a LOT of the same benefits of podcasts (such as embedding in your blog post, etc), but "share-ability" is MUCH easier with RUclips. Using RUclips (with video) gives you the ability to export audio for podcasts which helps you promote your RUclips channel, or your blog post, which you can use to promote your RUclips channel.

    I started my RUclips channel about three months ago and have been struggling to get subscribers. I started my podcast about a month ago. I have a lot more listeners on my podcast than I have viewers on RUclips. So in my experience, as a brand new channel without a network, it’s easier and faster to get a foothold as a podcaster than a youtuber. I think much of this has to do with the way the RUclips algorithm favors large, popular channels because that’s where they make more money. That’s just my experience from the past few weeks of doing both.
    I really enjoy making videos, but it is a lot more work and generally takes a lot more planning. I can crank out a podcast episode in an hour from recording to editing.

I have been going back and forth between which to start with and this has given me some really good things to consider. Something I would really like to understand about each of these is, realistically, how much time does each commitment take up. I am very quick to say yes to an idea but then always seem to underestimate how long everything takes to do consistently. What do you have to do yourself vs what can you ask someone else to do with each of these platforms, and how does that flow over time work. i.e. starting from you doing everything to you only doing X. Thanks so much xx

Also, I’ve had both podcast (on which you’ve been a guest) and RUclips channel. I currently prefer YT as it allows the audience to connect with you both visually and vocally, plus they can get to know your teachings as well as behind-the-scenes/day-in-the-life type vlogs. Hard to do that on a podcast. (-Mommy Seed, Nikki)

    Replay Edition Comment..... Since its Ask Pat edition this teaching element should be a staple , Maybe you bring actual listeners or students from one of your courses and have them give some key takeaways. (By doing so you will build great testimonials in an evergreen format, get free press for upcoming launches and more traction for the 2 Platforms Podcast & RUclips. Only caveat is it might be a touch similar to the podcast format you do, but if you strategically place it near a launch might be better).
    The name of the game is engagement and value, you are providing both in a wonderful manner. #TeamFlynn

      What do you mean “you won’t see this message”? - I’m here! Awesome job on the podcast with your boy! Yes, it’s possible to succeed in different niches, but always start with one, and only move into the next one when you’re able to or ready 🙌🏼

      Pat Flynn Wow, thank you! My podcast is called Contribution: conversations with amazing Muslims and I have already recorded with a long list of amazing guests. However, my niche is Muslim writers and this is the group I am creating content, community and courses for so I think a podcast for this niche should be next on my list. What do you think? Site is www.muslimcontribution.com if you have time to check it out :)

    We're visual creatures as human beings. Even if you have more consumption with a Podcast, statistics show that the majority of people only listen to approximately 4 minutes of a Podcast before they get bored. A Video keeps interest longer.

    • @stephaniem895

    2020 update: Google Podcasts has launched, now connecting google searches to relevant podcast episodes, regardless of the podcasting platform. I’m not sure what the data says, but my guess is that podcast reach will shortly transcend RUclips due to our evolving “voice-centric” culture in technology (ie. Siri, Alexa, Google Home, etc).

  • @francop2666
    @francop2666 5 лет назад

    Obviously the difference between the two really depends on what is the subject. If the subject is talk and is radio talk type of subject, that is the best way to start. Why and what do I mean? If you start with a radio platform, you can air it live on radio for those who don't have internet access. Then the radio broadcast can be recorded for podcast. And a video could be made of the radio program that could be shared on RUclips. The platform isn't really the difficult part. It the content. You need content that people want to view or listen to. Not everyone has the same interests. Some like politics some avoid it because it can break relationships. Some like humor and some find it offensive.

    I'd like to know if anyone here has the same problem I do. I'm basically a podcaster on RUclips. But I'm always on edge about what I say. One little joke that offends the wrong person can cause RUclips to delete your channel. I'm thinking about using Libsyn, but from what I understand they keep 50% of your subscription revenue! I would appreciate any words of advice from the knowledgeable members of this community.

    • @KatieHornorFlamingoAdvantage

    Good points, thank you!
    However, If I'm listening music in RUclips, I don't care about the visuals, cause I'm really there for the music. If I'm making podcasts in RUclips, where I tell stories, I think it's the same thing. The voice, the story and the whole atmosphere comes from the audio. So in that perspective I really don't feel that there's any need for making any exciting visuals. Just plain picture. Maybe that familiar logo you use everywhere, what you are known for.
    But of course, it totally depends what kind of podcast you are doing.

    For me RUclips is a better choice because I am more of a show and style so I need to use visual aids. Maybe in the future if I come up with subjects to talk about in a lengthy matter then I will consider podcasting. To be honest allot of youtubers are just sitting there and talking so it is ok to listen to them while driving. Another thing, where can I podcast? which platform to use?? I mean youtube is youtube but what about podcast?

    Hey Pat. To answer your CTA - I think it would be interesting to compare hosting teaching or education series via two different types of video platforms.
    Would be you compare teaching via RUclips (Free Content) vs Teaching via Lynda / Teachable / etc. (Paid Content)
    I believe it was Amy Porterfield who said you know you've given away enough free content when you think to yourself, "I should be charging for this", but where exactly do you draw that line?
    Do you give enough information to teach someone and then fill in the details on the paid platform?
    Do you use RUclips to drive traffic / create interest in your paid content?
    Do you create the paid content first so you can have something to point people to?
    Or do you create the RUclips content to gain followers and then in the future move them to paid teaching? I assume you would get them on your e-mail list via a magnet so you can get them into your paid course funnel at a later time.
    Thanks again Pat. I'm loving the new YT series. And thanks for the help this week. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.
    #teamflynn for the win!

    Hi. Great tips and thanks. I started with YT in 2012 and created only a few videos and then stopped for a long time. As of last year, I started my Podcast because I found it easier however now when I recorded I do it in both formats. Pat in your opinion for podcast what are the most important analytics? Followers, download, likes and for YT? subscribers, time, shares or likes?.

    • @patflynn
      @patflynn  5 лет назад +1

      As far as platform itself, YT can pay you via Adsense for views, podcasting doesn’t work like that. But more money can be made, on either platform, by building an audience and serving them with products, your own, or recommending other products (affiliate marketing). So to answer your question, BOTH!

    Great video as usual @PATFLYNN, Love how you saved both platforms smoothly done. I have a few questions, I'll just ask 1 right now. I know monetization wasn't one of the comparisons made but I would love to ask you when it comes to earning which one would be greater/quicker profitabilty, if you could make the comparison from the standpoint of a NEWBIE who had to make the choice of Podcasting or Youtubing-(Is that a word). (not sure if its possible given the fact that RUclips has an unfair advantage over podcasting as it is reaping all the followers you already have from SPI). Additionally I would like to suggest a Monetization of RUclips as a next video topic, I know you briefly mentioned ADSENSE when you where with Sean Cannell of THINK MEDIA! But what is that ADSENSE and those other ways that he was referring to. ALSO .. WE WANT THE BIG REVEAL OF THE GOLDEN PLAY BUTTON WHEN IT ARRIVES>> THANKS !!

How about the different analytics between a physical product like your books, and a teaching product like Start From Scratch or your podcasting course.. Thank you! Include time vs. Monetary reward, and job satisfaction reward. Thanks, Kathleen
