This has been such a HUGE help in adding my subscription. Thank you again for this amazing step by step video!!

[RecoverYourSoul]

Thank you for this! I have set my subscription up for my podcast Recover Your Soul, but man... It was not easy or intuitive. This was very needed!

Thanks so much for this.... I wasnt sure if it was going to be worth it for me...

[presentationtransformation]

Thanks for this. What frequency would you recommend for subscriber comment? Weekly?

Thank you for the walkthrough. Apple really should've hired someone like you to make something like this for themselves. Honestly, I've been incredibly disappointed in their Podcasts Connect creator portal. The UI and user support are so completely lacking compared to Patreon, who specializes in this sort of thing.

Do you find that processing times are incredibly slow when uploading files to Apple Podcasts Subscriptions? A 90min podcast almost takes real-time to process before I can publish. Worst part is, you can't even auto-publish as you upload, so you have to REMEMBER to return to Podcasts Connect to hit 'Publish' 90min after uploading the file. It's honestly quite ridiculous. Makes me just want to quit and stick with Patreon.

Can you make your bonus episodes live on another podcast host or is it exclusive to apple?

Thank you so much for making this video! Thanks to you a lot of people subscribed to my show!

This is so confusing. How do you get an episode already uploaded to your Connect account into your Show? I have one show and a whole bunch of episodes, but I want to take the older episodes and put them in a subscription-based show. How do I do that?

I am looking to expand out my solo podcast to Apple once I reach 10 episodes. Since I am new and been learning as I go with each episodes. Now can I still keep my podcast free.

How do you find out the opening part song to Express & Star Nathan Judah, the song starts.. We’re Wolverhampton and on our way back . Thanks

[jmattos]

This is AMAZING. We're totally jumping on this bandwagon

[lizziebordenaudio]

Are you saying that we have to maintain our Buzzsprout hosting at the same time we upload to Apple? It was really good to have u but you went fast! I couldn't keep up.

[skylarbytendorp]

How do we offer the same subscription on Spotify as we do on apple?

[schnookerton]

If I already have a popular free podcast in Apple, can I move it to my new channel without affecting subscribers (no paid subscribers to this podcast)? Thanks in advance for your help!!

[zudaure]

Thank you. This was just the info we needed!

[sleeplikealoghub]

Please help! How do I edit what my subscription is - I want to add 'ad-free' to my offer... Can't find anyone who can tell me.. Thank you!

[DaCake]

What if the listener doesn't have an iPhone though?

[maintainingyourbadassness]

Thank you so much! I finally sent it for review. I have been working on this for days now. ❤❤❤❤
