As a micro or small business you may be thinking how can I benefit from adding a podcast to my WiX store? That would be a very genuine question and needs addressing. So here you go.

Every online business no matter the size will need to create a core differentiator and build a brand to compete. You have to consider every tool in your arsenal for fiercely differentiate your branding.

I am preaching this since we at SHUVEL have launched our own Podcast.

What are the benefits of a Podcast and why should you think about launching one? Before you answer this you need to consider the bandwidth available to you, size of your company, your audience DNA, your CAC costs, buyer personas and many other factors.

Once you are fully aware and committed to starting your podcast there are multiple tools and platforms you need to research and find the best platform for you.
