Why Your Podcast Needs Its Own Space
One of the first things Aime emphasized was the importance of having a dedicated space for your podcast. Too often, podcasters lump their shows onto a business website without realizing that a podcast requires a unique strategy. A podcast website should be its own brand, focused on driving engagement and subscribership without compromising the business goals of your website.
The best time to consider separating your podcast into its own domain is when you're ready to grow it into an independent entity. This shift allows you to create focused content that attracts specific audiences and, in turn, delivers more meaningful leads to your associated business.
