0:00Hey there, so now you understand the big

0:02picture of this method. You have chosen

0:04a topic that people like to listen to.

0:08You have used AI to write all of your

0:11scripts for you. You have then turned

0:13these scripts, these words into audio,

0:17and you have learned the simplest way to

0:19save your audio files to stay organized.

0:22And now it is time to put your audio

0:25files online. Now, this is not

0:28publishing. This is really just

0:30uploading. You're not going to go live.

0:32You're not sending anything to an

0:34audience, and you're not doing anything

0:37permanent or risky. You're simply

0:39placing files on public websites. What

0:43uploading really means, you already have

0:46audio files. These websites exist to

0:49host these audio files, and your only

0:52job is to upload the file and fill in a

0:55few boxes, and that's really it. Click

0:57upload, add a title, paste a

1:00description, and save. And we're going

1:02to be using three beginner-friendly

1:04websites, each for a different reason.

1:07Number one is SoundCloud, all about

1:09discovery traffic. People are already

1:12browsing SoundCloud on a daily basis.

1:14Your audio can be found inside the

1:17platform, and this is where discovery

1:19happens. And beginners like SoundCloud

1:23because um it's super easy to upload

1:25your files. The layout feels familiar,

1:28and they are low pressure, super easy

1:31stuff. Website number two that we're

1:33going to be using to get traffic is

1:35Internet Archive, which is good for

1:37evergreen Google traffic. And Internet

1:39Archive is indexed by Google, and like

1:42this, your audio can appear in search

1:44results over time. This is long-term

1:47passive discovery. You upload once, and

1:49it can sit there for many years.

1:52Platform number three that we're going

1:53to be using is Podomatic,

1:56which is all about low competition

1:58visibility. Fewer people upload there,

2:01which means less competition, and

2:04therefore easier exposure for beginners.

2:07So, you pretty much follow the same

2:10upload pattern for all three platforms.

2:13This is something that anyone can do.

2:15You now have these audio files. Now, you

2:17want to upload them so that people can

2:20find them, and you can redirect that

2:23traffic to any link of your choice,

2:25which is something that we're going to

2:26be talking about in the next video. So,

2:29let's get right into platform number

2:31one. All right, so let's get started

2:34with platform number one, SoundCloud.

2:37So, step number one, you want to create

2:39a free SoundCloud account, and you will

2:41only need to do this one time, and I'm

2:44going to walk you through the simple

2:45steps to get started with SoundCloud.

2:48You only need to do this once, and it's

2:50completely free. So, you want to go to

2:52soundcloud.com,

2:54open your web browser, and navigate to

2:56soundcloud.com, and there is also a link

2:59to SoundCloud down below this video, as

3:01well. Then, you want to look for the

3:04sign-up button on the homepage, and use

3:06an email or Google login. You can choose

3:09your preferred method to create your

3:11account. I'll show you how to do this in

3:13just a second. And if asked, you want to

3:16check your inbox and verify your email

3:18address. A free account is enough. You

3:20will not need to pay for this, and there

3:23are no upgrades required. And once

3:25again, you only need to do this once.

3:27So, once again, go ahead, click the link

3:30down below this video, then you will

3:31land on this page here, soundcloud.com,

3:34and then you want to click on create

3:36account up here. Now, here you can

3:39either um sign up using your Facebook

3:41account, your Google account. You can

3:43continue with Apple, or you can use your

3:45email address, as well. I'm just going

3:47to click on continue with Google. I'm

3:50going to create an account, and then

3:51I'll see you on the inside. Now, I've

3:53just signed up with Google. Here, you

3:55want to fill out your name, age, gender,

3:58and then you want to click on continue.

4:00And there you go. Now, we have a free

4:03SoundCloud account. Step number two, you

4:06want to click the upload button. So, you

4:08want to log in to SoundCloud, sign in

4:10with the account you just created, then

4:12you want to look at the top of the menu.

4:14You want to find the navigation bar at

4:16the top of the page. And number three,

4:19you want to click upload by selecting

4:21the upload button. And this does not

4:23post anything yet. You can stop at any

4:25time, and nothing breaks if you click

4:28upload. So, just go ahead, find the

4:29upload button, and click on it. So, here

4:32inside of your SoundCloud account, the

4:34upload button is up here. And now, I

4:38just want to go ahead and click on it.

4:40And then, you'll land on this page here.

4:42Now, the next step is uploading the

4:44audio file. Number one, you want to

4:46click on choose file to upload. Then,

4:49you want to select one MP3 file from

4:52your folder. Number three, you want to

4:54wait for it to load, and always upload

4:57one audio at a time because one script

5:01equals one audio, and that equals one

5:04upload.

5:05An MP3 format is perfect. The length

5:08doesn't matter, and short audios are

5:11normal on SoundCloud. All right. So,

5:14here on SoundCloud, where it says upload

5:17your audio files, you either want to

5:19drag and drop your audio file that

5:22you've created in one of the previous

5:23videos in here, or you can click on

5:26choose files and find that on your

5:28computer. So, you now should have a

5:30couple of audio files in that folder

5:32that you've created. So, just find that

5:34audio file and drop it in here. So, if

5:36we go ahead and we click on choose

5:38files, then you will be

5:40redirected to the site here where

5:42SoundCloud tries to sell you an upgrade

5:46so artist or Artist Pro, but you don't

5:48need to pay any money to make this work.

5:51What you want to do is you want to

5:52scroll down a little bit, and then

5:53you'll see the or continue without a

5:55paid plan button, and that's where you

5:57want to click. You picked basic, great

5:59choice. Now, back to uploading. So, you

6:02want to click on choose files again.

6:04Find the folder that you've created with

6:07the MP3 files inside on your desktop,

6:11and then just select the MP3 file that

6:14TTS Maker has created, and then you'll

6:16land on this page here. Now, step number

6:19four, you want to add a title, and you

6:22want to keep this very simple. You want

6:24to type a short, clear title. You just

6:26want to say what the audio is about. No

6:29clever wording, no hype, and good

6:31examples would be simple online income

6:34tip for beginners, quick motivation tip

6:37for focus, or easy productivity tip

6:40anyone can use, like titles along those

6:43lines, because clear beats clever every

6:46single time. So, here on SoundCloud, we

6:49have just uploaded our audio file. Now,

6:52by default, it is just using the file

6:55name of the audio file that we have

6:58uploaded, but we want to change this

7:01title to something like quick motivation

7:04tip for focus. And now you have added a

7:07title. All right, next up step number

7:10five, you want to add the description,

7:12which is also very simple. You just want

7:15to write one to two simple sentences,

7:17and don't worry, this is not a sales

7:19page. This is super simple stuff. It is

7:21just context, and yeah, you'll be done

7:24in a matter of seconds, and I'll show

7:26you how you can use ChatGPT to write

7:27this description for you in just a

7:29second.

7:31So, an example description would be, if

7:34you're in the make money online niche,

7:36for example, something like a short

7:38audio tip explaining a a way beginners

7:41can think about online income.

7:43Important, I do not want you to add any

7:46links yet. Do not add any affiliate

7:49links, any landing page links, Linktree

7:51links to your description. This is what

7:54we're going to be talking about in the

7:55next module, but for now you just want

7:58to add text. And if you cannot write a

8:01description yourself or you don't know

8:03how to do it, then remember when we used

8:07our custom AI tool to come up with the

8:10scripts for your audio files for you.

8:13So, you can pick one of those scripts,

8:14for example, the be patient with small

8:17results. Online income usually grows

8:19slowly at first. If this was the script

8:22for your audio file, then you could just

8:24go to chat.openai.com

8:26and say something like, "Give me a

8:28description for this audio file for a

8:31SoundCloud

8:32upload." And then you click on this

8:35button here, and there you go. Now

8:37chat.openai.com has given you a

8:40description. Now, remember I said that I

8:43want you to keep this short. This is a

8:46bit too long, so you can say only one

8:49sentence.

8:52And hit enter again.

8:55And there you go. Now you have a

8:57description that you could use for

8:59SoundCloud, and you can just click on

9:00copy here and you would have that

9:03ready to go. But as I have created a

9:06motivational audio that I'm now

9:09uploading to SoundCloud, I'm going to be

9:11using a motivational description as

9:14well. Something along the lines of a

9:16quick reminder to reset your focus, cut

9:19through distractions, and put your

9:21energy into the one action that actually

9:23moves you forward today. And now, this

9:26is how you can get a description using

9:29chat.openai.com.

9:31Step number six, you want to add tags.

9:34Tags are like labels, and you want to

9:36add a few relevant tags or labels

9:38because these tags tell SoundCloud what

9:41your audio is about, and these tags then

9:44help people find your audio. Example

9:47tags would be make money online, online

9:50income, side hustle if you're in the

9:51make money online niche, for example.

9:54And rules, you want to add three to five

9:56tags, and then you want to reuse the

9:58same tags on future uploads. But as

10:01always, ChatGPT is your friend, so once

10:04again, you can head over to

10:05chat.openai.com.

10:07You can do this with a free account, and

10:09you can just say something like give me

10:11three to five tags for a SoundCloud

10:14upload with the title quick motivation

10:17tip for focus, for example, and then you

10:19click on this button here.

10:22Now, there you go. Now, you have five

10:24tags that you can use for your upload.

10:27And if we come back into SoundCloud,

10:30tags here,

10:32tags help identify what kind of sound

10:34your track is, whether it is spoken

10:36voice, hip-hop, etc. Tags make it easier

10:39for listeners to find your track on

10:41SoundCloud.

10:42This is why you need to use them. So,

10:44you come back into ChatGPT and copy

10:47these tags one by one.

10:49Paste them in here.

10:59And there you go. Now, we have five tags

11:01as well. Step number seven, the

11:03visibility settings. And here you want

11:06to make sure to leave visibility as

11:08public. Public just means discoverable.

11:11This is what we want. You can delete

11:13later if needed. So, now that we have

11:16the title, we have the tags and the

11:18description, here where it says track

11:20privacy, you want to make sure to leave

11:23it as um public because if you change it

11:26to private, no one will be able to see

11:28it, and you will not be able to get

11:30traffic, so make 100% sure that you keep

11:33this as public here.

11:35And last but not least, step number

11:37eight, you want to save or publish your

11:40audio files. So, just click save,

11:42publish, or upload, and that's it. You

11:45are now done. You cannot break anything.

11:47You now have your first audio file on

11:50SoundCloud ready to get traffic.

11:53So, now you want to click on upload

11:55here.

11:56And there you go. This is saving.

11:58Congratulations, your tracks are now on

12:00SoundCloud. And you can view your track

12:03here.

12:04And as you can see, quick motivation tip

12:06for focus. Here is my name. You can play

12:10the track as well. And now, um a couple

12:12of things after the upload, I do not

12:15want you to overcheck stats. Just keep

12:18on uploading these audio files on a

12:20daily basis, as many as you want,

12:23because the more audio files, the more

12:25traffic you will get. But do not

12:27overcheck stats. Don't worry about how

12:29many people have listened to your

12:31audios. Do not change settings. Keep it

12:34simple. Just keep on uploading on a

12:37daily basis, and success for this module

12:40is simple. Once you have one audio

12:42uploaded, you have completed this

12:44module. Now, here are some common fears,

12:47like you can always edit the title

12:49later. You can edit the description

12:51later. You can delete the audio later.

12:53Nothing here is permanent. And if you

12:56see your audio listed in your SoundCloud

12:58account, you have completed this step.

13:01That's it.
