And now, this week's episode.

Speaker: 00:00:19

When it comes to your podcast website,

Speaker: 00:00:25

it's really up to you what you put on it.

Speaker: 00:00:27

After all, it's your site, your show,

Speaker: 00:00:29

and your decision what you want visitors to the site to do.

Speaker: 00:00:32

But whatever you do place on your website,

Speaker: 00:00:33

there are three things that I recommend

Speaker: 00:00:35

always having on there.

Speaker: 00:00:37

The first one is a web player

Speaker: 00:00:38

that makes it easy to listen to an episode

Speaker: 00:00:40

anywhere on a website.

Speaker: 00:00:41

So if you're on the website's homepage,

Speaker: 00:00:43

you have a podcast player there.

Speaker: 00:00:45

Obviously, if you're on individual post pages,

Speaker: 00:00:47

you'd have a podcast player there as well.

Speaker: 00:00:49

The main thing is, no matter where visitors are

Speaker: 00:00:51

on a website, you're making it easy for them

Speaker: 00:00:52

to listen to your episode,

Speaker: 00:00:53

whether that's a trailer to promote it,

Speaker: 00:00:55

your latest episode, or a featured episode.

Speaker: 00:00:58

The second thing is making it really easy to follow your show.

Speaker: 00:01:01

After all, if you want your podcast to grow, you've got to make it easy for listeners to do that.

Speaker: 00:01:06

So whether that's a sidebar or a call to action box on your homepage,

Speaker: 00:01:09

have your most relevant follow options there.

Speaker: 00:01:11

So Apple Podcasts, Spotify, maybe Pocket Casts, Goodpods, etc.

Speaker: 00:01:15

And then your RSS feed.

Speaker: 00:01:16

That way listeners can either choose the apps you offer,

Speaker: 00:01:18

or copy your RSS feed and add to their own preferred app.

Speaker: 00:01:21

And the third one is a simple call to action.

Speaker: 00:01:24

Now this can be either growing your newsletter list,

Speaker: 00:01:26

it can be a leave a review,

Speaker: 00:01:27

or it can be social proof.

Speaker: 00:01:29

So for example, on the One Minute Podcast Tips site,

Speaker: 00:01:32

I have some Goodpods badges that shows

Speaker: 00:01:33

One Minute Podcast Tip is the number one podcast

Speaker: 00:01:35

in the tech charts.

Speaker: 00:01:36

It's just a nice little way to show listeners

Speaker: 00:01:38

that your podcast is worth listening to.

Speaker: 00:01:40

So as mentioned, it's really up to you what you put on there,

Speaker: 00:01:42

but these are the three that I'd always recommend.

Speaker: 00:01:45

Until the next time, happy podcasting.

Speaker: 00:01:47

(audience applauding)

Speaker: 00:01:51

Thanks for listening.

Speaker: 00:01:52
