When starting your own podcast<\/a>, you\u2019ll need to carefully plan the steps you\u2019re going to take in order to get your podcast episodes out there and possibly make money from them<\/a>. Aside from gathering the right equipment, one important thing you\u2019ll need to do is figure out is which of the podcast hosting platforms or sites to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosting your podcast has become a lot easier as of late, especially with the number of avid podcasters increasing all around the world. There are also more podcast websites than ever, all of which are perfectly capable of allowing your show to reach different audiences. Some are free, some are not, and some are more simplistic than others. All you need is to find out which one best suits your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a podcast hosting site?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A podcast hosting site is a service that allows you to store and send your files. A site allows your audience to find you, share, and listen to your podcasts. Some podcast hosting sites are free, but if you want more than the basic storage plan, you\u2019ll need to end up paying. These sites should also allow you to track your performance so you can grow, give you the tools you need to learn, and help you advertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to choose a podcast hosting site?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are so many hosting sites out there. The best way to find one is to see which user interface (UI) you like the most. You want your audience to be able to find your podcasts easily and navigate through your episodes with ease. With that in mind, you also want to have as much reach as possible. It all comes down to price, how much are you willing to spend and what\u2019s in your budget. Most sites give you a trial, so test out some and see which one sticks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
