Blubrry - A podcaster’s podcasting directory

by Anna Farmery

I am a member of the Blubrry network with my Engaging Brand podcast. Blubrry is a refreshing twist on directories as it has more of a community feel for both listeners and podcasters. It is designed by podcasters - CEO Todd Cochrane runs the hugely popular Geek News Central. No one has asked me to write about them, I just find them great for building an audience

So why did I join and what do I find different about them?

1) They find revenue streams for you, but you only opt in if you want to.
2) The site allows you to put your branding on your podcast - not just album art.
3) It is a one click subscribe option for listeners.
4) It has social networking aspect built into the site.
5) Advertising revenue is 70% to podcasters and 30% to Blubrry.
6) It has a flash player code that you can build into your site so that people can play your cast easily.
7) They produce really good podcasts to go along with the site to help you understand the power of the Blubrry community.

They also run a podcast that interviews members of the community as a way of advertising your podcast. This is especially great if you are new or are trying to build your name in the podcasting world.

Great stuff and how I believe directories will develop in the future.

    Anna,

    Thanks for pointing out the features of the Blubrry community. We’re a small team working hard to build something that is worthwhile for podcasters. So it was really nice to see the post come across. More to come in ‘07. Happy New Year.

    Rob
