The background of this blueprint

In the past few months, I was having a conversation with an old friend and friend. The conversation was about his latest project, and I was awestruck.

One of my friends was one who built the largest, most active group of people dedicated to the film of the same name, Dune. I was impressed - and was eager to offer suggestions.

The conversation soon turned into content strategy, intelligent monetization, and web promotion.

  1. A blog
  2. Social media media streams are embedded in the embed
  3. Videos
  4. Review of Toys
  5. Game review
  6. A podcast

The thing that really stuck out for me was the podcast. Since I work in the field, I decided that this could make a fantastic use of the case to show the features the plug-in offers!

     This means, Garin and Marcus, this blueprint for podcasting is perfect for everyone.    

For everyone else, keep to me. The information I'm going to share with Garin and Marcus could be applied to many other websites designed by a small group of niche enthusiasts.

  3. Websites which are members who are looking to bring value to existing members

We're ready to build your Money-Making Podcast

Here is where the excitement begins.

As I'm using a friend's Dune news website for an example, I'm sure they're already using WordPress for the Content Management System (CMS). (Garin Thumbs Up!)

If you're not yet on WordPress butdon't get concerned over it. It's a breeze today. It's not necessary to learn any web-related information, or even programming.

There are many guides on how to get started using WordPress but we highly recommend this guide from WPBeginner:

The Garin usage of the case, and the ways to monetize your podcast with WordPress...

You're already there. You just need to choose a plan, then join to .

It is recommended to go for the Plus option, but Pro is also a viable option. The tab is open for you to check when you are ready to finish setting up.

If you're already a customer (aw thank you, we love your too!) you can bypass step 2.

It's a simple process to set up, and the plugin will guide you through the procedure clear. On a higher level you'll have to define these three elements to be configured .

The first step is to include an option for payment. I recommend using Stripe However, there are various choices.



The next step is to add your membership. This will be the level of membership you'll need to gain access to your podcast. Step 3 is below.
   


Step 2 - Create an account on Castos.com

It is recommended that the Starter or Growth plan will be ideal for this configuration. You must pay for the amount of subscribers you can afford on the plan to make sure you have enough room.

If, for instance, you're among the people who created the popular True Crime podcast Only Murders in the Building, then it's likely that you'll need to ask about a Castos Premium membership.

This action is necessary for making your podcast secure. Once you've set up your account on castos.com and you're over to the WordPress site and finish the process there.

Step 3. Install and activate Really Simple Podcasting

Once your Castos and accounts have been set up, you're ready to create your own private podcast. Connect your podcast with your service.

With Really Simple Podcasting you'll be able to connect your Castos account, start your own podcast after which you can join it.

In the first place, log into your podcastingsettings after which you can connect to Really Simple Podcasting with your Castos account with your email address and API code.

After that, start the brand new podcast. The example is what I'm going call mine Premium Podcast. This is a fake in actual. It's not a podcast by the same name. Therefore, you shouldn't even bother to find it . Instead, sign up to it.

Within the all podcasts view, click on the Feed Information tab to edit the appropriate feed information , and finally upload the cover photo.

Go back onto your Castos account and you should be able to see the newly-created podcast. In the Distribution options, set it to private.

The magic occurs. However, first there's one more option to choose. In order to do this, you'll go back to your WordPress site.

In your WordPress administrator area, go to PodcastingSettings. settings. There is an Integrationstab and you'll need to select the option that will allow you to activate the connection.

The reason why we recommend Castos

We considered a range of solutions that can assist people in monetizing their podcast through WordPress. The final decision was that the Castos integration made the most sense.

Here's why...

It was designed to be used by 6- and 7-figure entrepreneurs. The licensing model was designed for scaling with unlimited income, members, and memberships! Most importantly, it's a fixed annual cost. It will be clear why within a minute.

Castos is also built in scale

We were excited to learn that Castos decided to incorporate with WordPress because it's an exceptionally robust platform that scales well with WordPress. Also, it can scale exceptionally effectivelyfor our clients with hundreds or thousands of members.

Like like Castos licensing model is an fixed cost.

Private podcasting services generally require a monthly profit reduction of 12-30 %. After doing the math, we found that this price isn't suited with the needs of serious podcasters.

Let's say for instance, that there were 100 users on your podcast that paid $15 per month. This could amount between $450 and $450 monthly fees for platforms. It is likely that it would be impossible to increase the amount of customers between 100 and 1,000 or 500 users.

Castos excels in privately broadcasting and leave the decision on monetization the creator of the podcast. It means that the platform isn't able to access the revenue streams of your show and will not receive an amount of the profits.

Furthermore, Castos has a stable steady, reliable, and famous WordPress connectivity option that utilizes the Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin. It is easy to link your WordPress memberships to your Castos private podcast.

Monetize Podcasts on Any Player

The best part is that paid subscribers can access your podcast using their favorite player or app. Therefore, regardless of the device you post your podcast with, you can make income from paid subscriptions for podcasts.

For my dear coworkers Garin and Marcus of DuneNewsNet it is possible to offer an ad-free private podcast to loyal customers and other members of the community is now a real possibility through the WordPress web site.

If you're able to connect with my Dune acquaintances, please do not be hesitant. Join and Castos right now.
