Accessibility is the obvious reason to transcribe your podcast episodes, but there’s more to it than that.
- Offering transcriptions allows you to reach your subscribers (and attract new ones!) who need or simply prefer to consume podcast content in text format.
- Post your transcripts and enjoy an instant SEO bump as search engines are able to index the full text of your episodes, not just select keywords.
- Pull excerpts from the transcript and repurpose them as teasers and social media posts.
- Collect transcripts on related topics and put together an e-book you can offer to subscribers as premium content.
