Episode 23: Domain and Conquer: Website Hosting for Makers, Shakers & Soap Slingers
Episode notes
Welcome to another episode of The Dirty Heifers Podcast, where your favorite trio of makers tackles the nitty-gritty of running a small business in a digital world.
This week, we're diving headfirst into the world of websites and online storefronts—breaking down popular platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and Etsy. We explore the pros and cons of each, share personal horror stories and hard-won lessons, and highlight why owning your domain and prioritizing SEO is essential for long-term success.
From DIY website headaches to the benefits (and potential pitfalls) of hiring a pro, we’re covering it all—including a lively round of “Farm Fresh Feedback,” where we critique a real maker’s social media presence and offer tips for improvement.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your online game, this episode is packed with insights, laughs, and the real talk you’ve come to expect from the Heifers.
