Search-indexed show notes for SEO + ad revenue.
FAQ
Podcast host-specific questions.
Can I host audio directly?
Yes - WordPress media library + Seriously Simple Podcasting for RSS distribution. Or use Castos / Buzzsprout hosting + just link.
Should I leave Patreon?
No - run both. Patreon for casual listeners, Reign for premium tier. Same audience, different conversion funnels.
