Sell Seats to Your Recordings
You're already recording episodes. Now let your most engaged listeners join you — and pay for the experience.
Get Started (free)Your listeners want more than just audio
Think about your most dedicated fans. The ones who've listened to every episode. Who message you on social media. Who tell their friends about your show.
They'd pay to:
- Be in the room when you record
- Meet the guests you interview
- Have a real conversation with you
- Take a photo together
- Be part of the behind-the-scenes
The key insight: The value isn't "watching a recording" — it's access to people they admire but would never otherwise meet. Your guests (authors, experts, entrepreneurs, athletes) are the draw. You're the bridge.
Three steps. No extra content to create.
List your recording session
Create an event for an upcoming episode. Set the date, location (studio, venue, or virtual), number of seats, and price.
Your fans purchase access
They discover your event on Podguest or through your promotion. Fixed price or auction — you choose.
Record with your audience present
Host your episode as usual, with paying attendees in the room (or on Zoom). Before or after, offer the extras you have defined.
Note: You control everything — how many people, what they get access to, how they participate during recording. It's your show.
Design the experience you want to host
The basics (included in every ticket)
- Attend the live recording
- Meet you and your guest
Optional extras you can add
Key point: Keep it simple or make it premium. A 2-seat dinner with you and your guest can command a much higher price than 20 seats in the back of a recording.
Works with any setup
In-Person
Record in a studio, co-working space, venue, or even your home. Fans join physically.
Virtual
Remote recording? Fans join via video call. Works for podcasters anywhere.
Hybrid
Offer both in-person and virtual tickets for the same recording. Maximize reach.
Reality check: Virtual events have lower ticket prices but zero venue costs and unlimited geography. In-person commands premium prices but requires logistics. Both work.
Fixed price or auction — your choice
Fixed Price
Set your ticket price. First-come, first-served. Predictable revenue.
Best for: Regular recordings, larger audiences, accessible pricing.
Auction
Limited seats go to highest bidders. Creates urgency and premium pricing.
Best for: High-profile guests, exclusive experiences, testing your market.
Pricing guidance: Start with what feels right. You can always adjust. We've seen tickets range from €25 for virtual events to €500+ for intimate dinners with notable guests.
Real numbers, no promises
Let's be honest: this isn't passive income. It's a new revenue stream that requires effort.
What you invest
- Time to set up listings (~15 min per event)
- Communication with attendees before the event
- Hosting duties on recording day
- Possibly: venue costs, food/drinks if you offer them
What you gain
- Direct revenue from engaged fans
- Deeper relationships with your audience
- Fans who become ambassadors for your show
- Content (with permission) from the experience
Platform fee: We take a percentage of each sale. You receive the rest directly via Stripe.
Give back while you grow
Soon you'll be able to donate a portion of each sale to a charity of your choice. You pick the organization, set the percentage, and your profile shows your commitment. Potential tax benefits vary by region.
Not just good karma — it's a differentiator that resonates with fans who care about the same causes you do.
