A podcast is the medium of the future. Eighty million Americans (28% of the U.S. 12+ population) listen to podcasts weekly with the most diverse audience ever while driving, cleaning, working out or relaxing. These numbers have only increased for the past decade.

Podcast hosting sites like Libsyn provide the podcast platform and podcast software to house, distribute, promote, monetize and grow podcasts internationally. Libsyn is set up to help the independent podcaster grow and expand with unlimited bandwidth and reach, unparalleled customer support, audio and video as well as advanced stats, social media marketing and more, with tiered plans to match your goals and budget.

Choose your podcast host for ease and execution — and price. The best podcast hosting platform will offer you turn-key publishing, world-wide distribution, promotion and monetization. They will make it super easy to grow and make money from your podcast. Libsyn offers all this and caters to the independent podcaster who wants complete control over how their show is presented to the world.

Any podcast can make money offering top listeners exclusive content via a subscription service like Libsyn’s Glow. Members get access to special features, like guest interviews, training, archives and more. When a podcast has enough downloads to attract advertisers on a platform like Libsyn’s AdvetiseCast Marketplace, the host can then earn money by offering host-read or programmatic ads.
