BONUS TIP:

After you create show notes for a particular episode, make sure your listeners know how to find them. You can say something like this at the very end of your episode:
"For more information or resources about this episode, please visit yourshownotespage.com. If you love our show, be sure to leave a review. We personally read each one.
And once again we'd like to thank our sponsors A, B, and C for supporting this episode.
Do you have a product or service you think our audience would love...consider podcast advertising! You can find a link in the show notes where you can learn more and work with the good folks from Libsyn Ads...plus you're supporting the show!"
