Especially if you are thinking of building a brand or e-commerce. In this episode, I am going to give you very good reasons why you need to do this and not use a third party as you're home on the Web.\n\nShow Notes:\n- It will always be there for as long as you keep it live.\n- You get to control how it looks and all other aspects of the site.\n- You are free to change your mind at any time and take it in another direction.\n- You are not relying on a service that might go paid or disappear at some point. For example, many of the social networks that now no longer exist.\n- You are not dependent on a third party company and their privacy rules and how they use your data.\n- Users know exactly where to find you.\n- You can use the site and domain as a jumping point to anywhere else you want to direct people.\n- You can use services to see metrics and learn from your users what is working and what is not. This is invaluable data.\n- You can gather user information via forms and/or emails and start a two way conversation.\n- If you decide to sell goods or services, you are free to implement that the way you want it to be.\n- You are not forced to display advertising or other distractions based on the desires of another company.\n- You get to provide the experience to visitors and potential customers exactly the way you want it to be.\n\nSupport this Podcast and my other work on Patreon, I would very much appreciate it.\n\n\n--- \n\nSend in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/peter-witham/message\nSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/peter-witham/support","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/_p9P9jYgGWcgwxiU2-NsNDaGvPHCOGwwXKVGu598sGE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI4MzE5LzE2OTI5/ODA4MDQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
