5 Tips for Improving Your Show Blog/Web Site

• 1. Dump the "blogspot" by buying a domain name. For just a few dollars, you can buy a domain name and make your site user friendly. What sounds better, www.aaronisadofus.blogspot.com or aaronistotallyawesome.com?
  
  
• 2. Make sure that your website features easy tools to download/listen to your show and make sure those tools are front and center. A brand new listener might want to sample your show and can't do that if they don't have easy access to do so.
  
  
• 3. Make your contact information readily available on your site. Podcasters have the ability to make amazing connections with their fans, make sure you're making that connection possible.
  
  
• 4. Try to make your site as "clean" as possible. Avoid putting too much on your site and eliminate things that you don't need like google ads which just clutter things up.
  
  
• 5. Create a website that offers new information on a frequent basis. A great example is Jawbone radio. Len has frequent updates about projects he's working on, funny photos that people can provide captions for and videos. If you build it, they will come.
