Podcasting Q&A

Podcast Websites: Do I need to create one for my podcast?


Listen Later

Brad from the Gay Mystery Podcast asks, "Do I need a custom website for my podcast?"

TL;DR
Podcast websites have three main benefits. First, building a custom website frees you from the restrictions that the website your podcast host provides for you probably has. You can literally make it whatever you need it to be.

Second, having a website will help you build your online brand or online business. You can use your podcast as free marketing to promote your products and turn your listeners into customers.

Third, websites work on any internet-connected device. If you're going to confidently share a link that you know will work no matter what kind of phone, tablet, or computer someone is using, a link to your website is the one.

That being said, most podcasters don't need a custom podcast website. If you just need a place for people to listen to your episodes and read your show notes, the website from your podcast host is just fine.

4x Questions To Ask When Designing Your Podcast Website:

  1. What do you need your website to do?
  2. What is your budget?
  3. Are you going to hire someone to build your website?
  4. Which website building platform will you use?
