Creating a ‘start here’ page
Your podcast, blog, services, and books might be obvious to you. To a new visitor they're overwhelming. A ‘Start Here’ page gives them a clear, quick win — and a path to more.
As podcasters, we get desensitised to the content we've created over time. You might think your podcast, blog, coaching, books, and other products make perfect logical sense — but for someone landing for the first time, it can be confusing.
A Start Here page gently introduces folks to your content. You might combine elements from your About page and full episode list. Or scrap the others entirely so there's less confusion.
It's all about managing that early journey for potential new listeners. Give them something clear and easy that feels like a quick win — then show them how to get more.
