Distributing Your Podcast To Listening Platforms


Once you've set up your new podcast and uploaded episodes, you'll need to make them available to listeners!

Here are simple instructions on distribution options to grow your audience so that you have direct ownership of your accounts on these platforms.

Note: before you proceed with distribution, ensure that your podcast has a published episode (or trailer/promo) and uploaded artwork in LaunchpadOne to meet distributors submission requirements.
