Podcasting Simplified Reviews on Apple Podcasts

Great podcast very informative..

I've just recently found this incredible podcast. I have a small YouTube channel and I'm looking to launch a podcast to carry our message further. Great intro makes me think of the "Night at the Roxberry". Not very long though 20-30 mins but full of info. They have covered just about everything I'm dealing with my podcast.

Best WordPress Hosting Sites For Podcasters & Bloggers

I consistently recommend having your WordPress site separate from your podcast host. I have briefly highlighted a few of the best web hosting companies for WordPress on other posts, but I wanted to go a little deeper and give you my full list of recommendations.

I’ll recommend website and WordPress hosting providers that have proven to work well for podcasters and bloggers. As of July 2020 I have personally used all but one of them.

The prices tend to vary by how many resources they allocate to you and how many additional features are included. Things that tend to increase the price and performance are RAM, CPU, SSD vs HDD, CDNs, staging sites, WordPress optimization, and more.

I have found that a little extra cost not only allows your site to handle more users but also makes it easier to manage, saving you time.

Depending on your budget and how big your audience is, you may want managed WordPress hosting, meaning the web hosting company handles all the confusing server stuff. What’s important is that they keep your server online and loading fast. Several of the web hosts below offer both standard hosting and managed hosting. I’ll highlight the different tiers where it makes sense.

Best Webinar Software: Platforms To Teach or Sell

Webinars are a great way to teach your audience, sell products and services, and provide additional value to your audience.

There is a wide variety of pricing, capability, and features among the many webinar platforms out there, so I’m going to highlight some of the best features of each.

You’ll find some are more focused on selling, while others are more focused on education, training, and interaction.

What’s best for most people? As of July 2020 I would choose EasyWebinar.

How (And Why) To Register A Domain Name For Your Podcast

Starting a podcast and want your own custom domain name?

Or maybe you don’t want your podcast’s website to be at thebestpodcast.libsyn.com but instead be at thebestpodcast.com.

That second version is much easier to remember or share, and you’re not promoting another company (that you’re already paying, by the way) in the process.

Quick note: You can’t actually register your podcast name on iTunes or other platforms. Getting the domain name (and relevant social media profiles) is the best way to secure your podcast name.

Check out our complete guide to learning how to start a podcast or how to upload to iTunes.

Cool, we decided to want to register a domain name, how do we do it?
