Want to know the biggest misconception I hear? That you don't need a website. When Facebook launched Business pages, people started proclaiming this was the "death of the small business website." It didn't happen then, and let me tell you - it's not happening now. Unless you have a monopoly in what you do or you never want to grow your business beyond where you are right now, you need a website. Even if you’re rocking sales with DMs and simple landing pages, you need a website that builds trust in your business. Don’t believe me? I get it. I talk to people all day long who think they don’t need a website anymore. But let me tell you - without one, you’re putting your business at risk. I break down four big reasons why you still need one in this week's episode of the #CaptainCoderPodcast.

Here’s the truth: Sales don’t start with a pitch. They start with trust! When you show up authentically and focus on delivering value, your podcast becomes a relationship-builder. That means people aren't just tuning in, but they're also looking to you for solutions, advice, and your unique perspective. And when trust is built, those connections naturally turn into conversations that can lead to sales. ?? Want to know how to make this happen? - Be real! Share your experiences and your expertise. - Solve problems. Every episode should leave listeners with something they can use. - Listen to your audience. Their challenges and questions should guide your content. Here’s a question for you: If you started a podcast today, what’s the ONE problem you’d help your audience solve first? I can't wait to hear your ideas!??
