A new monetization source for content creators

iVoox is the only podcast platform that allows podcasters to grow their revenues as well as their audience, since episodes reach a user base of more than 5 million recurring users. The platform currently offers the iVoox Originals acceleration program and Subscriptions for Fans, a monetization scheme where more than 1,200 podcasts participate today and which by the end of the year will have shared-out close to 1 million USD among podcasters.

From now on the contentcreator benefits from a new monetization toolwithout being forced to choose between money or audience, unlike models offered by other platforms. This reward model aims to benefit all podcasters based on their effort and involvement with iVoox. Therefore, the revenues from iVoox Plus will be shared equally between the company and the content creators. Content creators will receive an individual amount despite their plays, and another amount proportional to their audience and the amount set in the price of their content for fans.

In this sense, not only programs with millions of listeners will be able to earn money, but also those new high-quality shows that are looking for their niche market, even if they have a limited audience.

Juan Ignacio Solera, founder of the company, explains that ‘in iVoox we continue working to facilitate that podcasters can live off from their passion’, and this new tool is ‘an important step to achieve it’. “aPodcasters will continue to receive revenues from their supporters, and from now on ‘they will also generate revenues from iVoox Plus coming from the long queue of listeners who also like a show, but not enough to give it direct economic support’. ”.
