How To Be B.O.L.D.

BEGIN where you are...don’t waste another day.
You can always course-correct as you go.

OPEN your eyes, ears, & heart...
But don’t indulge self-doubt or the naysayers

LISTEN & LEARN... from leaders, mentors...& your own mistakes.
You don’t have to look hard to find what you need.

DECIDE: Make bold decisions. Don’t waffle. Just Do It!
You can always course-correct later.

Are you turning away potential listeners without even realizing it?

A recent PodMatch survey revealed a startling truth: 17% of podcast links shared were broken, and 83% didn't lead to the podcast's own website.

This means you could be losing fans, clients, and sponsors before they even hear your voice.

Your podcast deserves a digital home base. Here's why a dedicated website is crucial:

- Email Collection: Build a direct connection with your audience.SEO Optimization: Make your show easily discoverable.
- Brand Consistency: Present a unified image to listeners and potential partners.
- Product/Service Expansion: Create additional value for your audience.
- Audience Engagement: Provide convenient ways for listeners to connect with you.

Remember, relying solely on third-party platforms limits your control and growth potential.

Whether you choose WordPress for flexibility, PodPage for effortless episode curation and podcast-specific features, or your host's provided site to start, the key is to have a central hub for your show.

Don't let broken links be the reason you miss out on amazing opportunities. Give your podcast the digital home it deserves.

Finally, create a Microsoft Clarity account and add your website as a project. The app will track what visitors do when they visit your podcast website and if there are dead links. It will also create a video where you can see in real time what experience your audience is having on your site.
