Audio streaming service Joe Rogan Experience.
Along with its multiple platforms through Anchor, and it seems the company stuck with that idea.
Leveraging Anchor as a distribution platform, all platforms the show is hosted on. When publishing a new episode, creators can simply toggle a subscription-only option on before publishing to put it behind the paywall.
But Wait, That's Not All
If listeners choose to opt-in, creators can also assemble a list of listener emails and use that list to communicate with them. Anchor says this feature is meant to let creators send out “exclusive news, expressions of gratitude, extra content, or updates” while “nurturing their listener community.” Because the subscription service is tied to Anchor, the best way for creators to point listeners toward their subscription page is to copy the link to the show’s subscription page into a podcast’s show notes.
Even if having to manage a podcast’s subscription through a separate distribution platform does create some friction with listeners, being able to start a subscription model without having to worry about platform revenue share or a starting fee is a great reason for smaller podcast creators to experiment with monetizing on Anchor. The only worrying part of this update is allowing listeners to share their email with podcasts they subscribe to since creators can just copy the list and then keep that information. Of course, listeners can opt-out, and be mindful of who they give their information to.
