Apple announces podcast subscription analytics, Linkfire partnership, and extra 

Apple Podcasts is introducing three new updates for podcast producers as we speak together with a subscription analytics dashboard.

Apple Podcasts has supported paid content material for just a few years now. Starting as we speak, creators are in a position to dig via information round subscriptions together with “how many listeners started a free trial, the number of paid subscriptions, the percentage of listeners who convert from a free trial to a paid subscription, and the estimated proceeds generated from their subscriptions.”

Podcasters are in a position to view information based mostly on date ranges, nations and areas, and month-to-month versus annual paying subscribers. Apple breaks down all the brand new analytics dashboard options right here.

Apple can be including 5 new companions to its Delegated Delivery system for Podcasts: Audiomeans, Captivate, Podbean, Podspace, and Transistor. This will convey the full variety of companions to 9 earlier than the top of the 12 months, and Podbean help goes stay as we speak.

Apple Podcasts can be teaming up with advertising and marketing platform Linkfire because it expands into podcasting instruments this fall.

“Using the Linkfire Insights dashboard, creators will be able to measure real-time user engagement with these links and pages, including anonymized visits and click-through rates,” Apple says. “As listeners use these pages to access Apple Podcasts, creators can view all-new engagement insights, including whether a listener has played an episode or followed a show on Apple Podcasts.”

A registration web page for being notified with Linkfire for Podcasts launches is accessible right here. Read the complete information launch for podcasters from Apple Podcasts right here.
