Hello!
Today, in my article, I will tell you about the procedure to create a podcast website.
Before we start with podcasting, let us know what podcasting actually means?
Podcasting is the method of preparation, and distribution of digital audio data using RSS feeds about a particular topic or current news, stored on a database which keeps updating on a regular basis and spreading audio information.
To be more specific it is the combination of your ‘Ipod’ and broadcasting methods, which uses dedicated streaming services such as itunes, spotify etc.
Podcast websites have become a relevant marketing tool for doing fruitful business as well, which doesn’t need heavy investments and you don’t have to be tech savvy to use podcasting.
Why Create Podcast Website
Making your own podcasts has a lot of benefits. The cost of making a podcast is low while there are many podcasts available in the digital market free to download.
Some are made by corporations or sponsored with the inclusion of commercial advertisements, some for business purposes while some for creativity.

There are many services available in the digital market but the best only gains importance when it has the market value.
This market value can be achieved by gaining expertise in the marketing tactics and applying them on the podcasts which you have created.
The success of your podcast will purely depend upon your tallent how well you are able to gain more and more audience and attract them to visit your website or listen to your podcast.

I am using YouStable which lets you sign up and select domain facilities of your own choice at reasonable price plans for free.
A user should look for such domain names which he is familiar with because on different occasions people might forget the details of the data they just fed in into the database of the computer/server.
For example you can choose any string or numbers or a combination of both. Your domain names should be impressive and unique, easily acceptable to users’ minds and they find your website with a few clicks for example goggle.com, yours.com, with-while9.com etc.
