The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - Own Your Own Podcast Domain Website - Third Party Services Like PodPage and Facebook are Winning With Your Google Juice

Owning your web presence is a great idea. When someone searches for you, your show and what you do, you want to own that traffic. Another popular option touted today is to buy your domain and point it to a third party site like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and PodPage - all of these places are great, but - they are all rented land that you do now own, you have no control over how they operate and they owe you nothing if they choose to make a move that does not benefit you.

I did recommend PodPage in the early days of this podcast when they had a free plan - but they yanked that fairly quickly so I have been promoting Pod.link and Episodes.fm as alternatives that allow you clickable links to your podcast as a whole or to specific episodes giving your audience the choice as to the app they want to use to listen to your show. And Pod.link as well as Episodes.fm are FREE! Yes, despite the misguided meanderings of old school gurus, free is a viable option for podcasters - if someone tells you that free is a bad business model ask them if they have Facebook, Gmail, Google, LinkedIn etc - all of which have free options!
