Why don’t you like anchor anymore?

@@BenLeavitt can you please do a video about the best free podcast hosting sites 2021?

[@BenLeavitt]

I think a podcast might be in the cards for 2022, this video was super helpful man!

[@BenLeavitt]

I think Tom is going to have to appear a few times on Social Media University ;)

[@KazarianKzar]

Your title is false. This video, over a year old, even in your intro you say 2021 going into 2023. Don't waste my time. Just make another video rather than recycling your out of date content with a simple title change. AND changing the video description?! c'mon dude. You can do better.

[@OUTHERETRYNASURVIVE]

Get over it. Why should he? All this info is still relevant? You’ve obviously never created content. It takes so much time. He’s giving free content here. Go away troll.

[@therealprguy]

Love ya work Ben. Another great no-nonsense, down to earth insight without the hype. Curious about your thoughts on the new Zencastr all in one - hosting - monetization and recording packages that was launched last year. Sounds like the guys at 'Zen' are starting to get serious and a one-stop-shop.

[@Podbeancom]

Thanks for the shout out and for your great words, Ben! 🤘

[@BenLeavitt]

Of course! With all you guys offer, it was a no brainer to include you in the list

[@rohitgupta8001]

Very useful info. I was the 100th person to like this video :)

[@BenLeavitt]

Glad you took some value !!

[@sweetlikez]

I am gonna try one of the list. I started my podcast through apple podcasts, however, I am looking for guests to be on my show by video format. It can be confusing and overwhelming to see so many options. Zoom is not the best one. I want a platform that allows me to use my camera and mic as well.

[@luisvalerio2661]

i have a question, those platforms support video podcast or I can load only sound podcast on it

[@BenLeavitt]

Podbean supports video podcasts. I would also recommend using KZbin for your episodes

[@luisvalerio2661]

@@BenLeavitt thank you very much you are awesome!! you rock! keep learning, teaching and shining!

[@MarketingHarry]

Great hosting sites! Your experience is amazing, very useful video, Ben. 👍

[@BenLeavitt]

Appreciate you watching Harry!

[@thesandravshow]

I recently decided to quit podcasting and stick to KZbin but staying for the entire video because I don’t like messing up people analytics 😁

[@BenLeavitt]

I appreciate you! How is the KZbin channel going?

[@thesandravshow]

@@BenLeavitt I am still working in the reboot so hopefully I will be back to uploading the first week of oct. you’re channel has been very helpful!

[@plex-star7557]

damn you should go to my page then listen to it all

[@dannobles8028]

may I ask you what was your reason to quit podcasting vs. KZbin?

[@thesandravshow]

@@dannobles8028 Podcasting is a lot harder to monetize. Also, when my work schedule changed it made it difficult to make the longer podcast style content, especially interviews.

[@Suresurely]

Thanks dude, very helpful vid!

[@BenLeavitt]

Glad to hear ! What’s your pod about ?

[@thahyst]

Love the video Ben!! Gotta say thank you again for dropping the video you made about affiliate marketing it helped me make my own video with an affiliate link and its going a lot better than I thought & looking forward to making more!!

[@BenLeavitt]

Love to hear it! Keep crushing it 💪💪

[@jordankiara]

This is the perfect video for beginners, thanks Ben!

You’re very welcome, Jordan!

Excellent presentation

[@IntrepidGlobalCitizen]

Thank you! Thoughts on Red Circle?

[@carolynbotelho614]

I have been using Buzzsprout for 5 years. I decided to start another podcast with them and it froze their page. I do like the simplicity of Buzzsprout but I am confused why it is doing this. Even after rebooting, logging in again etc. Anyway great list of hosts and their pros and cons 💪

[@kateriaknows]

Very helpful. I like the first one.

[@BenLeavitt]

I’m a huge Buzzsprout fan! You won’t be disappointed :)

[@tembted]

You probably won't see this ben but I've always loved your content but as I'm starting like my 3rd podcast and this time on anchor, I'm worried that like all the others I will not be successful even though I have given podcasting so much of my time and effort. Idk what to do but I'd apreciate any advice if you see this

[@BenLeavitt]

Send me a dm on IG and I will try to help.

[@Catv47]

which ones have video podcast ability?

[@BenLeavitt]

Podbean is the best for video podcasts

[@blissfully_mimi428]

Hello What about Riverside FM?

[@BenLeavitt]

Riverside is a great tool for recording calls for podcasts but it’s not a host :)

[@derekstark6612]

Been hosting on SoundCloud for years but think it's finally time to switch it up...is Lisbyn a good option as well?

[@BenLeavitt]

Libsyn is a solid option that has been around for a long time!

[@qicle]

Curious, why are you thinking of switching?

[@BenLeavitt]

@@qicle SoundCloud can be a bit of a headache to use as a host

[@lifeoflove111]

I am watching this video because Libsyn is not feeding into the 7/12 platforms it says it supports.

[@sarahziegler602]

Omg, I didn't even recognise you from your last video about the same topic. You look 10 times better!! It's seriously recognizable how you've grown and evolved 😍 Also thanks for the video really helpful! I am really growth-oriented, but paying per download doesn't really sound attractive to me. Any tips?

[@BenLeavitt]

Lol thank you 😂. As for your situation, I wouldn’t stress about the per downloads at this point (unless you’re really worried about it) I would go with whichever one you’re most drawn too. Because by the time you reach those download numbers, you’re likely monetizing at a level that makes that a non issue. Good luck and let me know what you decide ! I also launched a new channel dedicated entirely to podcasting, that you can find here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKDHZ6mVgq6getk good luck! :)
