Your public episodes, and episodes for subscribers
Your public feed carries on, bonus episodes are published in the app
Keep your usual feed, imported into the app for your public episodes. Publish your bonus episodes, long series and Q&As in the CMS Podcasts section, and reserve them for your subscribers. Only episodes published in the CMS can be reserved: an external feed stays free to access. You need at least ten reserved pieces of content.
Subscribe in one tap on the App Store or Google Play
Subscriptions are bought in the native app, with the listener's Apple or Google account
Your listeners subscribe in the iOS and Android apps with their Apple or Google account, with no payment form. On the web app, they are invited to download the app to subscribe, and can then sign in there. A free trial is possible, and all subscribers get the same access, whether they pay monthly or yearly.
Revenue that renews
A subscription runs for as long as the listener keeps it
Monthly or yearly, subscriptions renew automatically, and your listeners stay free to cancel at any time. GoodBarber takes no commission on this revenue; Apple and Google take theirs, 15% in most cases.
Background and offline listening
Your episodes keep playing when listeners switch apps, and download for the gym
In the native apps, an option you switch on keeps the episode playing when the listener moves to another app. They can also download an episode to listen without a connection, on the subway or at the back of the gym. The Bookmarks section shows them the episodes they downloaded.
