How can I make money from my podcast?
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At RedCircle, our dedicated sales team helps podcasters make money by connecting them with a wide variety of advertisers.  However, some podcasters aren\u2019t comfortable with ads or haven\u2019t grown large enough to attract advertisers yet. For these emerging independent podcasts, RedCircle has a brand new tool to help creators get rewarded for their work: Tipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing Tipping<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Beginning today, RedCircle now helps podcasters collect tips from their listeners.  In just a few clicks, creators can connect their bank account and set up their show for easy tipping from fans who appreciate their work.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Payment<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Podcasters can track their tips over time on RedCircle\u2019s new \u2018Money\u2019 page.  You can view your tip history, watch your revenue grow, and transfer your balance to your bank account at any time.  With RedCircle, the creator is always in control.

Your Content, Your Revenue<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

RedCircle partners with Stripe<\/a> to provide seamless payments directly into podcasters\u2019 bank accounts.  Stripe is the industry leader in payments processing and offers top-notch security.  
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At RedCircle, we\u2019re all about the creator.  While we do take a fee for providing the new Tipping feature, we want to make sure we give the most money possible to the people who deserve it most: podcasters<\/em>.  That\u2019s why we take an industry-leading 4.5% of the revenue.  That\u2019s lower than Patreon, lower than Podbean, lower than most.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to process the credit card transaction and pay out to your bank account, Stripe also takes a few fees.  As an example, if 3 of your fans tip you $5 this month, and you cash out, you\u2019ll take home $12.71, RedCircle\u2019s share is $0.69, and Stripe collects $1.50.

A First Step<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By offering free hosting, powerful analytics, a cross-promotions marketplace, a dedicated ad sales team, and now tips, RedCircle\u2019s suite of tools is now the best way to take your podcast to the next level.  And we\u2019re just getting started. We believe that podcasters want a diverse set of revenue streams including one-time tips, ongoing monthly support, as well as ad revenue. Going forward, you can expect more tools to help podcasters connect with their fans and earn.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re building RedCircle to be the most powerful system for creating, growing, and monetizing your work.  Stay tuned; there\u2019s a lot more to come in just a few weeks.
