And those tools should be both durable and scalable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, I curated the following list of tools very carefully for this guide. Later, I\u2019ll go through several reasons why you\u2019ll definitely want to add them to your arsenal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I imagine that many of you might be thinking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"622\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aff-links-meme-mp-castos.jpeg\" alt=\"brace yourselves, affiliate links are coming meme\" class=\"wp-image-44977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aff-links-meme-mp-castos.jpeg 622w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aff-links-meme-mp-castos-300x230.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aff-links-meme-mp-castos-222x170.jpeg 222w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/aff-links-meme-mp-castos-156x120.jpeg 156w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But that isn\u2019t the case. We don\u2019t have an affiliate relationship with any of the tools in this blueprint. And there\u2019s no financial incentive for MemberPress in recommending the following solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>WordPress <\/strong>\u2013 the world\u2019s most popular content management system<\/li><li><strong>MemberPress <\/strong>\u2013 Built for 7-figure creators to generate recurring revenue<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/seriously-simple-podcasting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><strong>Seriously Simple Podcasting<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Free plugin to add podcasts to WordPress<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/castos.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Castos<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Our recommended private podcast host for this project \u2013 more on that later<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it.

(Garin, thumbs up!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not on WordPress yet, don\u2019t worry about that. It\u2019s super easy to do these days. You don\u2019t have to know anything about web development, and <strong>no coding is required.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a myriad of tutorials on how to get started with WordPress, but we highly recommend this guide from WPBeginner:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-mp-button-wrap\">\n\t<a id=\"button-block_12d3161669cf5f7a77aca655dcd9fc93\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/guides\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button button-blue center\">Ultimate FREE Guide: How to Make a Website in 2022 \u2013 Step by Step Guide<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Back to Garin\u2019s use case, and <strong>how to monetize a podcast with WordPress\u2026\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/plans\/pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Install, Activate, and Configure MemberPress<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re already here.

Ultimately, the Castos integration made the most sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s why\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MemberPress is built for 6 and 7-figure entrepreneurs. It\u2019s built for scale with unlimited memberships, members, and revenue! But most importantly, the MemberPress license model is a <strong>fixed annual cost<\/strong>. You\u2019ll see why that\u2019s important shortly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Castos_is_Also_Built_for_Scale\"><\/span>Castos is Also Built for Scale <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We were excited when Castos decided to <a href=\"https:\/\/castos.com\/member-only-podcast-with-memberpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">integrate with MemberPress<\/a>, because it\u2019s a robust platform that scales well with WordPress. And it scales <em>very well <\/em>for our customers with hundreds or thousands of members.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, like MemberPress, the Castos license model is a <strong>fixed cost<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other private podcasting solutions generally take a monthly subscription revenue cut as high as <strong>12-30%<\/strong>. We did the math and realized that it doesn't scale well for serious podcasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, say you had 100 paid podcast subscribers at $15 each per month. You could end up paying as much as $450 in monthly platform fees. You can probably see how that makes it <strong>difficult to scale<\/strong> from 100 to 500 or 1,000 subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Castos excels at private podcasting<\/strong> and leaves the monetization decisions up to the creator. That means, the platform can\u2019t see into your revenue streams and can\u2019t take a cut of your profits.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Castos has a stable, reliable, and wildly popular WordPress connection point, via the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/seriously-simple-podcasting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin<\/a>. This makes it effortless to connect your WordPress memberships to your Castos private podcast.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monetize_Podcasts_on_Any_Player\"><\/span>Monetize Podcasts on Any Player<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And best of all, paid subscribers can listen to your podcast on their preferred app or player.\u00a0\u00a0So, no matter what player you publish your podcast on, <strong>you can make money with paid podcast subscriptions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, for my friends Garin and Marcus at DuneNewsNet, offering an <strong>ad-free<\/strong> private podcast to loyal fans and community members is now a <strong>real possibility for their WordPress website.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can relate to my Dune friends, then don\u2019t delay.
