Step by step guide
Step 1. Create an account here by selecting a plan
You can monetize your show on any of our plans, you only need to verify if your show qualifies to join Marketplace.
I already have an account, how can I create a new show? Log in to your dashboard and follow Step 2
Step 2. Create your podcast
On your dashboard, by selecting the option New show > I want to create a new show. You will have to set your basic podcast information, like the title, summary, and categories.
Step 3. Publish a trailer or your first episode
Having at least one published episode in your feed is required by some apps such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify to submit your show for distribution. Once your show has been submitted, any new episodes will automatically appear on the platforms you have submitted to.
Can I record my episodes in the Acast dashboard? Yes, we have Podcastle which allows you to record and edit audio files. Find more about it here.
Step 4. Submit your show for distribution (only for new shows)
Acast distributes podcasts everywhere RSS feeds are accepted. Yet, we do not submit the podcasts for distribution on your behalf.
Because of this, if there is a platform you want the show to appear on, you'll need to submit the show for their approval. Once it's been approved, we'll take the reins and distribute them whenever there are changes made to your podcast.
Now you’re ready to start podcasting with Acast!
