Podcast app BREAKER has unveiled "BREAKER Upstream," a platform that allows podcasters to sell premium content directly to listeners. The platform offers the ability to sell episodes to listeners without the need to create an external page on a fundraising site, but also allows them to continue to maintain their non-premium feeds along with the paid episodes.
"Podcasters told us traditional methods for monetizing their podcasts just weren't working," said BREAKER CEO ERIK BERLIN. "Small podcasters have a hard time securing advertisers with a small audience, and larger podcasters felt that they were leaving money on the table when relying solely on advertising deals or voluntary donations."
"We're not here to close off the historically free and open nature of podcasting," added BERLIN. "What we've done is create an opportunity for podcasters' biggest fans to get more of the content they crave and provide podcasters with another tool to make their businesses sustainable."
