Your email leads belong to you. You can provide information, and promote offers or resources of your choice. There’s no hindrance from any algorithm.

Podcast Website Hosting



PodPage

What if you never had to go through the complexities of building a website from scratch? Well, if that’s you, then you’ll Podpage. I shifted from a WordPress website to Podpage for several reasons. For starters, they have everything in one place and handle the SEO aspect for me. 

Additionally, you can access several templates to help decide how your website would look. In simple terms, Podpage is a website builder for Podcasters. It will help you create custom Pages, auto-publish your Podcast episodes on the website for you, create pop up forms or your Newsletter and let visitors drop their reviews on your website. 

 

Stats for Podcasters



PodKite

PodKite is like the Google Analytics for Podcasters. It helps you analyse, monitor, optimize and share your Podcast show with listeners. Keeping a track of your Podcast analytics is exciting, especially when you’re hitting 3-4 figures per episode every week!

With a tool like PodKite, you’ll find where your listeners tune in from, the devices they use, and ratings and reviews they drop for your episodes or Show. 

Graphic Design


Canva

An all-in-one designing tool, Canva is my favourite when it comes to creating podcast artwork, ebooks or episode covers. It’s like a one-stop-shop for all your design needs — the best part? it’s super easy to use, intuitive and doesn’t require any designing skills. It’s Canva who makes my Podcast look pretty. 

Although most of Canva’s features are free, you get unique benefits if you opt for one of its paid subscriptions. They include — image background removal and image resize. It even helps you automate content for your social media profiles on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. 


Social Media Tools


Repurpose

If you’re looking to market your Podcast show and grow your online presence, repurposing them for your social media profiles is a great way to go ahead with it. Repurpose will turn your episode into content that fits in with each social media platform out there. 

This saves you plenty of time which would otherwise go into structuring content for separate social platforms. With a few clicks, you’ll have your content distributed everywhere your audience hangs out. 


VidIQ

Just launched your Podcast YouTube channel or having trouble getting views on your Podcast YouTube channel? Then you’ll love signing up for VidIQ. It’s like your YouTube channel growth assistant to help you analyse, track, and boost your video views. 

Additionally, it helps with your video optimizations and competitor analysis. VidIQ’s free Chrome & Firefox extension shows you the current trending videos, a video scoreboard, keyword tool and a live stats bar. Without VidIQ, you might have a hard time understanding the mechanics of growing your Podcast channel on YouTube.  

Calendar


Calendly

If you’re a podcaster who often brings Guests to their show, you must give Calendly a try. It’s an app that helps you book and schedule calls and meetings. You can integrate Calendly with Zoom and book calls with your Podcast guests. 


Buy Your Domain


NameCheap

When someone purchases a website, they actually purchase a Hosting service and a Domain name first. Next, they install a Website builder like WordPress and get their website running. 

Namecheap is a domain name provider. In there, you can check for your desired domain names and purchase ones that are not taken. 

Example : uncensoredsocietypodcast.com (domain name)

Domains on Namecheap usually start at $6–$7 per year. Additionally, I can guarantee that Namecheap’s a trusted brand. I’ve bought over 15 domains for my programs, courses and landing pages — all from NameCheap.

Other Tools


PrettyLinks

PrettyLinks is a WordPress plugin that shortens and cloaks lengthy links that look ugly. I’ve used Pretty Links in the past to promote affiliate offers and my landing pages. The only requirement? You must have a WordPress website. 



SpeakPipe

Wouldn’t it feel great to receive vocal responses or reviews from your Podcast listeners? Yep, you guessed it. SpeakPipe is a tool which lets people record voice responses for your Podcast, either from your website or a voicemail page. 

You can include these vocal responses in your episodes, making them feel raw and authentic. 



ThriveCart

I recall launching my first Podcast paid Program using Thrivecart. It’s popular for its cart page builder which lets you create customized and organized cart pages for completing the payment process for your Sales Pages.  

If you’re planning to launch a course or a Program, I assure you Thrivecart will make the entire procedure smooth and effortless. Additionally, Thrivecart recently launched its online course feature. This means you can now host your Online Course straight inside Thrivecart itself. 

The best part? It even lets you create customized affiliate links for people interested to promote your program or course.

I use it to book guests by integrating my Email Service provider with Calendly using Zapier. 



Slack

Dream of an app which helps you streamline all your workflow — From making to-do lists to writing drafts for your Episode show notes. A tool will fulfil this dream of yours. 

Slack is a digital godfather when it comes to storing everything under a single shed. It runs on Workspaces and Channels. You can find several public Workplaces on Google and join them to become a part of their community.

 Channels are like pages. From embedding video links to linking podcast episodes, one can always share their work with the other team members. Slack is more of a team-based app and will help one coordinate better with their team members.
