Get Your Podcast on iTunes

1. You have your first episode recorded. Make sure it’s in one of these formats that iTunes supports: .m4a, .mp3, .mov, .mp4, .m4v, and .pdf.
2. Make sure your files are on a server with a publicly accessible URL, that you’ve created your RSS feeds properly, and put the URL of your RSS feed onto your server.
3. Open up iTunes and the iTunes Store, and click on Podcasts.
4. In the middle of the screen, amongst the numerous podcasts, there will be a button called “Submit a Podcast.”
5. This will take you to a screen where it will request the URL for the podcast RSS feed that you would like to consider adding into the iTunes Store.
6. Next, you will see a summary page. Depending on whether you have added tags already, a second screen might come up, asking you for more information–such as language, category, and whether the podcast requires explicit tags.
7. Now, the final steps involves getting the iTunes staff approval. Soon, you should be able to find it via Search or Browse, and later, you can add more episodes if desired.
8. Then of course, you can monetize your Podcast using a service such as Premiumcast which allows you to charge people for listening to your Podcast.
