Info updated on:

Open Libsyn, name your show, and start moving. Pick a plan (options begin at $5/month), add cover art, set your timezone, and import any back catalog via RSS or direct upload. Connect destination channels once and let Libsyn handle delivery to major listening apps and platforms. Set up social auto-posting for new releases, craft reusable show notes templates, and create a checklist for your team so every episode follows the same playbook.

Build a smooth publishing routine. Drag in your audio, attach episode art, add chapters and a transcript for accessibility, then write a clear description with links and sponsor mentions. Choose a release date or drop it immediately. Insert pre-, mid-, and post-roll markers where you want dynamic content to appear—house promos, announcements, or ads—without touching the original file. When you need exclusives, generate a private feed for members, gate bonus episodes, and send early access links to paying supporters.

Turn your catalog into revenue without derailing the creative flow. Opt into Libsyn’s advertising tools to place targeted campaigns across your backlist and new shows, adjust frequency caps, and pause or swap creatives with a click. Layer in paid subscriptions: define tiers, price points, and perks (ad-free versions, extended interviews, or behind-the-scenes audio). Use coupon codes, track redemption, and bundle perks with episode collections. Pair the customizable web player with your site, add episode highlights to show notes, and share audiograms to drive discovery. more
