Syndication:

It is advisable to use the My Brand feature with Feedburner.

Below are a few ways to setup the web presence for your podcast.

The easiest way to get your podcast of the ground:

Libsyn $5/mo

For $5 a month (and up) Libsyn will take care of all the heavy lifting. They have storage limitations, and up charge for statistics. You will need to register a domain still if you need one, and will probably end up paying for email (if you need it) unlike below. They give you an RSS feed, but I would still recommend sending it through a syndicator (like feedburner) to get more control over your feed, and some free statistics. It also takes some of the fine tuning control away from you. Probably the best solution for beginners.

Soundcloud (the free way):

Soundcloud for podcasting

Getting started with a podcast on Soundcloud

Soundcloud doesn’t do much compared to Libsyn, but it’s 100% free to start, and come with some statistics (unlike Libsyn).

What we do (a little complicated, but cheap and effective with unlimited storage and full control):

Host Gator, our hosting service

For an additional fee Host Gator allows for multiple domain names on one account, which is a good solution for multiple podcasts.

If you aren’t very familiar with how to set up a website, you may want to register your domain name with your web host. This will make it much easier to set up things like email.

How to install WordPress on Host Gator

When our episodes are too big to upload through WordPress’ default media manager, we send them to our site via FTP and then add them using the add from server plug-in.
