17. Click the "Copyright text" field and enter Copyright Statement.

A podcast copyright statement shows who owns the content and stops copying without permission. It includes the owner, year, and usage rules:

1. © symbol
2. Year
3. Owner’s name
4. “All rights reserved”
5. No copying or sharing without permission

18. Click "Copy" to copy your RSS Feed URL which can then be used to integrate your podcast

• RSS Feed: A web link that can be connected to podcasting softwares (Amazon, Apple Podcast, etc.) to automatically communicate information like new episodes. It contains
  • The title and description of your podcast.
  • Links to your cover art.
  • Details for every single episode (title, description, audio file link, duration, release date, etc.).
  • Podcast platforms (like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, etc.) "read" this RSS feed to get all the updates for your show. When you publish a new episode, it gets added to this feed, and the platforms then see it and make it available to listeners.

19. Next is Analytics Prefix:

• Analytics prefix is the main part of your website URL that you enter so analytics knows which site to track

• It's the "prefix" because all the individual pages you want to track will start with this exact string.

  "Enter the first url prefix the Analytics Prefix field":

  • You need to type the beginning part of your website's address into this specific input box.

• "include https://":

  • This is crucial for security and accuracy. It means you must start the URL with https://.

  • HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is the secure version of HTTP, where communication between your browser and the website is encrypted. Most modern websites use HTTPS.

  • Example: Don't just type yourwebsite.com. You must type https://yourwebsite.com.

• "be sure to leave the trailing backslash at the end (/)":

  • A "trailing backslash" (it's actually a forward slash, /, but the term "trailing slash" is common) is the slash character at the very end of the URL.

  • This is very important because some analytics systems treat https://yourwebsite.com and https://yourwebsite.com/ as two different entities.
    By including the trailing slash, you ensure that all pages under that root (e.g., https://yourwebsite.com/about, https://yourwebsite.com/contact) are correctly associated with this single prefix for tracking.
