Independent podcasts like ours owe a lot to Apple. Without the immensely popular iTunes program, almost no one would be able to listen to us. However it is tough for smaller shows to stand out among the thousands of podcasts featured on iTunes.
One way to increase the visibility and awareness of a podcast on iTunes is to have listeners rate it. The more ratings a podcast receives, the higher it moves up in the search results, and the more new people discover us! It’s a win-win for everybody!
So, we would like to ask you, dear Media Nerds or Star Wars Nerds listener, to give us a rating. It only takes a few minutes and it would help us so much! Don’t know how to do it? I’m not surprised, it isn’t exactly the most intuitive rating system. We know you can do better, Apple!
On your computer or laptop:
Okay, first follow these links to the Media Nerds and Star Wars Nerds pages on the iTunes website. Then, click on the button that says “view in iTunes.” This will open the iTunes program on your computer.
Be sure that you are signed into your iTunes account, then click on “Ratings and Reviews.”
After that, all you have to do is click on the stars! Click on the fifth star to give us a five star rating, or click on the first star to give us a one star rating. Obviously, we’d love to have all five star ratings, but we want you to be honest. Give us the rating this podcast deserves, not the one it needs. There is also a space for comments, feel free to provide some more detailed feedback. We want to get better and we might even feature your comment on the podcast!
On your iPhone:
Open the Podcasts app and tap the Search tab. Search for Media Nerds podcast and Star Wars Nerds podcast. Tap the album art for the podcast.
Tap the Reviews tab and then Write a Review at the bottom.
Tap the Stars to leave a rating and enter the title text and content to leave a review. Tap Send.
That’s it! Wasn’t that easy? Thank you so much for listening and for your continued support. Your feedback means a lot to us and it helps us make our podcasts even better!
Don’t let the door/force hit you in the ass!
Kenton & Dan
