Building the Perfect Website
Simplecast is a popular podcast hosting service – they offer tools to launch, distribute and monetize podcasts. They offer two plans (Basic & Essential) with different feature-sets. Both plans include unlimited storage and uploads, distribution, analytics and team members. You can manage multiple shows on the same account/plan if needed.
Simplecast also includes a basic podcast website in their plans. It’s a landing page with all your episodes, plus an episode page and individual pages for your episodes. It’s a little limited comparing to a full website, but probably enough to get you started.
Using a dedicated podcast site builder like Beamly.com can let you enjoy both worlds. It integrates with Simplecast directly and imports all your episodes, while giving you much more flexibility and tools to grow your show.
Here’s how Beamly can take your website to the next level:
- Include gated content that require signing up or set up paywalls.
- Import reviews from Apple Podcasts and Podchaser. Let visitors submit new reviews.
- Get voice message recordings directly from your visitors.
- Built-in SEO – rank on search engines and get more traffic and potential listeners.
- Full control over your designs and layouts – drag & drop page builder.
- AI features and writing assistants.
- Add a full blog to your site.
- Offer paid subscriptions and memberships directly on your site.
- Sync with YouTube and add videos anywhere on the site.
- Include contact forms, guest intake forms and so much more!
