A few months ago I launched a free private podcast called Joe’s Audio Notes. The episodes are very short (7 minutes or less), where I share my thoughts on being a solopreneur, a podcaster, a parent, and other thoughts related to being a productive member of society.

I'm sharing 3 of the episodes here (which you can find in the chapter markers):

• Thinking About my Content Strategy
• How do you pick the right idea?
• Battling the work hangover

If you like it, I'd love for you to join!

Today I'm I’m diving into a topic that helped my own show take off back in 2016—creating a great website for your podcast.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but my well-built podcast website played a massive role in growing my audience. Why? Because discoverability in podcasting is tough, and having a central hub—your own website—can give you a big edge.

I’ll cover exactly what every podcast website needs, from episode embeds and subscribe buttons to mailing list signups and easy navigation. And, I’ll tell you about an incredible tool called Podcastpage.io that makes building your podcast’s website a breeze, without needing to be a developer.

Here are the main takeaways:

Ask for Feedback Early, Regularly, and Everywhere – The importance of actively seeking listener input through multiple channels like your mailing list, social media, and during your episodes. I shared tips on making it easy for listeners to give feedback, such as incorporating listener feedback segments.

Build a Community Around Your Podcast – Creating a community is crucial for getting feedback, generating content ideas, and building trust. I discussed how podcasting doesn’t have to be a lonely experience and why fostering a community can lead to better audience engagement and even monetization.

Use Engagement Tools – I reviewed several tools to help facilitate listener feedback and community building, such as YouTube, Spotify, Ripple.fm, Circle, and Fan List. Each offers different features for community engagement, feedback collection, and potential monetization.
