The availability to have a private podcast and have as many separate podcasts as I'd like under the same subscription.
I'd like to be able to transfer my current episodes in bulk and save drafts so that I can work more efficiently.
I can offer my clients an easy way to listen to coaching call and workshop replays.
The service team is quality who is attentive to responding quickly. This is an easy to use platform that makes it easy for a single developer to manage many clients with ease. You save me time and money!
I dislike that they do not have a cheaper alternative to this other than doing your own xml files. I dislike people that don't enjoy saving time and money. Castos should hire me remote to promote.
I am solving my clients problems at oneCoventry.com who needed to publish globally alongside their terrestrial followings. We were able to stand up a word press site and unload to all platforms in 16 hours.
First of all, Castos has the best pricing model, with nearly everything being unlimited. Beyond that, Castos is easy to use ESPECIALLY if you're hosting your podcast on Wordpress. Castos has everything a podcaster needs from hosting to editing services, private subscribers to advanced analytics. It's really the best choice out there.
I wish I could add another podcast on another domain to my account so everything could be managed from one login. Would also like role-based Wordpress permissions on the plugin.
I've tried a lot of podcast hosting services, Castos allows me to run my podcast from Wordpress without having to copy and paste anything. It also gives me the ability to run a podcast network from a single account.
I like the ease with which this platform uses for its clients.
So far so good. No dislike nor complaints
It is helping me promote my business through my podcast
Simple and easy to use interface, clean design
Not much really. Everything is quite straightforward.
Podcast hosting for my up and coming podcast
I like the ease of use. It is very easy to navigate so I can get things done in a time-efficient manner. I can go directly to one of my podcasts and edit on an as-needed basis without any grief or aggravation. Editing support content is relatively easy and painless. Castos allows you to import content from a WordPress post which certainly expedites the process. You can add backlinks to your text-based content which is always a good thing. I like the company. They are very easy to work with and have very fair billing rates. As long as you list the other platforms with the appropriate URLs, Castos automatically exports your podcast. Having my podcasts automatically exported to Itunes and Google is a very nice feature.
I wish they had some high-end audio editing tools and I would like to see Castos have more relationships with related vendors but I have to think that's coming at some point.
Distributing my audio content in a cost-effective, time-effective manner. Increased exposure to people who did not even know my store existed until they heard my podcasts.
They had the tools to help with graphics, with distribution, and lots of other tools to make it possible for just to launch, even as podcasting newbies.
There are lots and lots of options which can be overwhelming and I'm not always sure about options I should be using or not for my particular show.
They definitely made it easy to get my podcast out into the world and then share info on how listeners could find it.
I'm really enjoying castos at the moment, I love that you can have multiple podcasts and it's easy to share, however I do with it had automatic sharing of podcasts for Apple and Google because there was a slight learning curve for adding the podcast to those platforms and now I have loads of random accounts. Also it's very easy to monetise!
I wish it was slightly easier up get podcasts on every platform, possible like a 'single click' thing. It's not the end of the world but it is somewhat of a pain having so many accounts for other platforms.
It makes uploading podcasts to platforms very easy so it solves that problem and it gives me an RSS feed. The feature like having multiple podcasts in one place is good
How fast and friendly it is when you upload your podcasts on podcasts platforms
None so for i have nearly two month using it.
By Reaching my audience at a time
I appreciated being coached through every phase of the process, and left the experience feeling fully equipped not only to start and manage my podcast professionally, but to link it to my other digital properties for a seamless user and promotional experience.
There is very little I didn't like about the process. At first it was a little confusing and it took a little while to get it set up and connected with my website.
I had no idea how to start or manage a podcast but I knew I had a great idea and was a niche in the market. With just a little time invested, and with the support of the Castos coaching, I sucessfully launched my podcast. I've received great feedback already and traffic is up on my website.
