Do I Need A Website For My Podcast?

I get this question alot, "Do I NEED a website for my podcast?" This is usually from a person who feels they are not a "technical" person and they fear making a website. They feel you need to be a "nerd" to create a website. Well, fear not, you don't need to be a nerd, but you do NEED a website. Here is why

• How is Google going to find you? When you publish an episode with text describing what is in the episode it is "Google Food."
• You want a CENTRAL place for your audience to go to. Your social media (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc) are "Satellites" but these come and go (periscope anyone?).
• Your website is the place people to go take action. This could be to subscribe/follow to your show, join your email list, leave a voicemail
• You don't want to say "Find my show in (app)" and those apps have horrible search features and in some cases, you can't be found. By sending them to your website they don't have to search for those links. You can make it easy to follow/subscribe.
