Customize Your Buzzsprout Page

Introduction

One of the best ways to promote your podcast is to give it a home on the web! A website for your podcast is a great way for your listeners to access your episodes and it can be indexed by Google to boost your visibility!

Sometimes building and designing websites can be time-consuming and delay the launch of your podcast. We want you to be able to launch your podcast as soon as you can so we have built a podcast website for you!

This website will house your episodes, host information, show notes, chapter markers, and descriptions. You will be able to link to your podcast directory listings, social media sites, and a donation page all through your Buzzsprout website!

Customize Your Buzzsprout Page

To customize your podcast website head to your Website page within your Buzzsprout account! 

Click on the Color and Background tab to customize the look of your site. You will be able to select the color for your website that will be used for any linked text in your show notes and your site background, and you can upload a custom background image.

You can also see how your website will look on a desktop by scrolling down and selecting Preview and you can see the mobile view by clicking Phone Preview

Pro Tip: Your background image should be a minimum of 1250x260px and less than 800k (.jpg or .png).

Add Links to Your Social Media Platforms

Give your listeners an easy way to follow you on Social Media by adding your social links to your website! Click on the Social Media Links tab and add links to your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube pages. Just make sure to enter the public URLs for those pages!

Note: Your directory links will pull directly from the information on the Directories page, so once you are listed there we will add that button to your Buzzsprout website for you!
