Do you need a podcast website?

from Podcast Answers

In this episode of Podcast Answers, I explain why you should create your own dedicated website for your podcast rather than relying solely on the basic webpage provided by your podcast hosting platform. Having my own site gives me full creative control over my branding, design, and overall user experience. I discuss how a custom website unlocks the ability to expand beyond a simple list of episodes by allowing you to add merchandise stores, blogs, email collection forms, and extra downloadable resources like ebooks.Additionally, I cover other key benefits of owning your own site, such as improved search engine optimization (SEO) and the flexibility to display custom image ads or sponsorships. Finally, I emphasize the importance of purchasing a custom domain name—even if you decide to just use your host’s provided webpage—to ensure your audience can always find you and to protect your brand identity if you ever switch to a different hosting provider in the future Links: Andy’s Audio Journal (https://audiojournal.lehman-family.com) Podhome.fm (https://podhome.fm) Youtube video of this episode (https://youtube.com/live/PVXL2MuJAI8) Need Help?
