Estimated Preparation time: 1 hours

Estimated Result Time: 1 month

Estimated Cost: FREE

What You Need to Do This:

Songs that you want to give to podcasters in high-quality MP3 format
Songs that you want to give to podcasters in WAV format
A method to transfer large files (for the WAV)

Directions

1. Make your music "podsafe".

Method 1: Issue your music under a Creative Commons License.

Method 2: Register your music with a podsafe collective. Podcasters have created podsafe collectives to ensure they have the rights to the music they include in their shows. To get on the list, sign up and upload songs you'd like podcasters to play. By registering and uploading songs, you agree to the collective's own podsafe license. Some of these collectives include Mevio's Music Alley (formerly Podsafe Music Network) and Podsafe Audio. Read their terms and conditions before you sign up as these collectives often are broader than what a typical Creative Commons license.

2. Find music podcasts.

Click here for a list of music podcasts. Pick music podcasts that match your style and genre of music. Radio has music formats; so do podcasts. So, if you have a rock song, check out podcasts that play rock. If you're dance, check out dance music podcasts.

3. Find non-music podcasts.

Talk show or other non-music podcasts also need music beyond songs to play (including theme music, incidental music, and bumpers). To find a non-music podcast that fits your style and genre of music, do some research on what's out there by using podcast directories:

3. Listen, subscribe, and verify the podcast's format and style.

Don't just take the written words about the podcast as gospel. Download, listen to, subscribe to the feed, and verify that it's a podcast you want your music associated with and whether your song would fit the format of the show. You may find that given their personality or style that one of your other songs is a perfect fit for the show - not just the one you want to promote.

4. Follow the submission instructions.

Many podcasters have music submission instructions. However, If they don't , then email them. Your email should:

introduce who you are, your band name and website
Tell them you've listened to their show (here's a tip - prove it by naturally telling them what you heard and what you liked about their show)
Tell them you have a song that you think would be fitting for the show
Tell them it's podsafe
If you've been played on other podcasts, tell them and link to your "podcast plays" page at your website (see step
Ask about how best to send them your song

5. Ask the podcaster to mention you and your music.

Ask to have your song title and artist name announced in the show and on their website as "show notes". Give the podcaster:

The name of the song
Your artist or band name
The link to your website
Links to where listeners can find the song they're playing for sale or download.

6. Subscribe to the show's feed.

If you haven't already, subscribe to their feed or set up an automatic alert so you know when your music has been played.

7. Cross-promote their show to your fans.

Once played, promote the show on your website by linking to it. Blog and tell your fans where you've been played.

8. Add the play to your "podcast plays" page on your website.

Consider starting a page on your website to link and list all the podcasts where you've been played. This list can help you as you reach out to other podcasters by showing them that your music has been played on other shows.

9. Thank the podcaster.

Once you promoted the podcaster's show on your website, send a thank you for the play. Also, send a link to your blog or wherever else you linked and listed the show so the podcaster knows you promoted the show to your fans. Building a relationship with the podcaster in this way will make it easier for you to get your music played on the show again in the future.

Get played on a podcast, and win new fans.

Overview

If you want your music played on podcasts and in front of potential new fans, here's a few steps that can increase your chances of getting your music played. We reocmmend following these steps.

Related Categories: Podsafe Collectives, Music Podcasts

Estimated Preparation time:�4 hours

Estimated Result Time:�1 month

Estimated Cost:�FREE

What You Need to Do This:

Songs that you want to give to podcasters in high-quality MP3 format
Songs that you want to give to podcasters in WAV format
A method to transfer large files (for the wav)

Directions

1. Make Your Music "Podsafe"

This is not difficult. Podsafe is a general, non-legal term that alerts podcasters to the fact that it's OK to use your music within their podcast and that you won't sue them for making it available.

By default, copyright law sets everything to "all rights reserved." To encourage podcasters to use your music and expose it to their audiences, you need to carve out an exception in your copyright to allow them to use it without them fearing they're infringing anything (and you taking them to court!). You have a few ways to make your music podsafe: licensing it to "the world" under a Creative Commons license or registering the songs at a podsafe music collective.

Method 1: Issuing Your Music Under a Creative Commons License

One of the easiest ways to make your song (or songs) podsafe is to issue them under a Creative Commons license. By doing so, you declare publicly what a person can and can't do with your music. Creative Commons knows the legal-talk scares musicians and artists, but they do a good job at making it easy to understand at their site and outlining all the implications of what issuing your music under such a license means to you and your music. We encourage you to take 5 minutes to learn more and read up on some of the easy ways to license your music:

All about the Creative Commons' Music Sharing License.
And there's even a short comic that explains all the power you have to carve out what people can and can't do with your music here.

Method 2: Registering Your Music with a Podsafe Music Collective

Podcasters have set up podsafe music collectives to ensure the music they play is podsafe. To get on the list, these podsafe music collectives ask musicians to sign up and upload songs that are safe for podcasters to play. By registering and uploading songs, you agree to make your music podsafe under a podsafe license. Some of these collectives include Podsafe Music Network and Podsafe Audio. Podsafe Audio uses a Creative Commons license.

2. Choose Podcasts in Your Style - Don't Grenade

Radio has formats. So do podcasts. Unlike radio, they're personal formats, since a podcast is a show created by a particular person or persons. It's the podcasters' tastes that matter. Choose podcasts that play music that fits your music. You wouldn't send your killer rock song to a jazz radio station and expect them to play it. Same here.

So, if you have a rock song, check out podcasts that play rock. If you're dance, check out dance podcasts. If you're uncategorizable, look for podcasters that want to play uncategorizable music (or request any genre).

3. Listen, Subscribe, & Verify the Podcast's Format & Style

Don't just take the written words about the format from the website as gospel. Download, listen to, subscribe, and verify that your song would fit the format of the show if you reached out to them. You may find that given their personality or style that one of your other songs is a perfect fit for the show - not just the one you want to promote.

4. Follow the Submission Instructions and/or Ask First

Like most musicians, many have dayjobs and do other things with their time. They're busy. They have feelings. They're human. Some have set up a submission process at their site, but many haven't. If they have a submission process and you are sure your song is a good fit for the show, follow their instructions.

If they don't have submission instructions, then you should email them. Your email should:

introduce who you are, your band name and website;
tell them you've listened to their show (here's a tip - prove it by naturally telling them what you heard and what you liked about their show);
tell them you have a song that you think would be fitting for the show;
tell them it's podsafe; and
ask about how best to submit it to them

If you hear back, follow their instructions and be sure to give them the key details again - the name of the song, your band name, your website, and where listeners can find the song they're playing for sale or download.

5. Thank Them

Subscribe to their feed so you can hear the show and once it's been played - thank them! Do one better and promote their show on your website. Tell your fans where you've been played.

By following the steps above, you'll increase your odds of being played on podcasts. Better yet, the next time you have a song to get played and heard, you already have a connection with a podcaster who has played you before.

2. Choose Podcasts in Your Style - Don't Grenade

Radio has formats. So does podcasts. Unlike radio, they're personal formats, since a podcast is a show created by a particular person or persons. It's the podcasters' tastes that matter. Choose podcasts that play music that fits your music. You wouldn't send your killer rock song to a jazz radio station and expect them to play it. Same here.

3. Listen, Subscribe, & Verify the Podcast's Format & Style

4. Follow the Submission Instructions and/or Ask First

If they don't have submission instructions, then you should email them. Your email should:

introduce who you are, your band name and website;

4. Ask First

Like most musicians, many have dayjobs and do other things with their time. They're busy. They have feelings. They're human.

Therefore, after you've listened to their podcasts and determined that their show would be a good fit for your song, email them. Your email should:

introduce who you are;
tell them you've listened to their show (prove it by telling them what you heard and what you liked);
tell them you have a song that you think would be fitting for the show; and
ask about how best to submit it to them
