People love bonus content. They love a look behind the scenes. And they love exclusivity.
For these reasons, and plenty more, private podcasting is a great way to make money. But what is a private podcast?
Put in the clearest terms, a private podcast is one that only certain people can access. Maybe they are students in a class, employees at a company, or members of club.
Use Cases
With a private podcast, you can charge for access and give people a private link to your feed. This works super great for memberships where you want to offer bonus episodes or ad-free episodes.
But if you’re a coach or consultant, you can include a private podcast as part of your fee. Maybe you send regular affirmations, or even supplementary advice based on your last call.
If you teach a course, you can release bonus or additional lessons in a private podcast, or answer student questions in a way that’s easily consumable for them.
Where to Start
There are several ways to offer private podcasts, including built-in support through Apple and Spotify. Other more accessible options:
