Should you have a website up and running when your podcast launches?

Well, I have two different opinions on this.

1. Yes, it's great to have a website up and running when you podcast launches. Even if it's just a simple landing page, that's OK! You can always improve your website over time.
2. No, it's not absolutely necessary, so if launching a website alongside your podcast is holding you back from getting started, then push it to the back burner and focus on getting your podcast live! Your website can follow.

Here are some examples of different types of podcast website options. Remember, it doesn't have to be perfect!

Leverage tools your hosting site offers (like Libsyn): https://katestake.libsyn.com/

Nicole and Kate Can Relate website (built on Transistor): https://www.canrelatepodcast.com/

Entrepreneurs On Fire website: https://www.eofire.com

Finally, I cover the 5 things I believe every podcast website needs once it's up and firing on all cylinders.

Measuring your podcast growth is important; it's what will help confirm you're on track, making an impact, and getting one step closer to your goals.

But you have to be intention about it. You can't just launch your podcast and then 3 months later expect results when you don't know exactly what those results are.

This episode gives you a step by step for how to choose your podcast measurement, the importance of checking in with yourself (and how to do it), plus, how to make sure your podcast growth continues in the long-term.
