The different Apple services continue to evolve thanks to the good results they are giving. After the success that Apple TV + has been able to have, now the company has wanted to go one step further by announcing an affiliate program for the future Apple Podcast subscription platform. In this way, when creating a podcast on the Apple platform you can obtain an economic return.
This is the new Apple affiliate program
Currently there are some content platforms that work through subscription programs. In these, users who pay a certain amount of money to earn different benefits , which is what we see specifically on YouTube or Twitch. Now this same mechanism will end up extrapolating to the Apple Podcast platform. In this way, users can receive some important advantages such as listening to the episodes without ads, early access to the episodes or even totally exclusive content for subscribers.
This encourages the fact that the content creator in Apple Podcast can generate a large community and have a monetary reward in exchange for their work. Although with the announcement that Apple gives in its press release it is not clear if it is an exclusive program for Podcast creators. As explained on its website, it is suggested that anyone could be within this affiliate program and share the links generating money without making a podcast as such.. This is something that is still up in the air and it would not make much sense for it to work like that. The logical thing is that the possibility of creating a community and creating content in the form of a podcast is rewarded. If not, you would be doing something very similar to what can be found on Amazon where clicking on a link benefits.
The link that is generated by the affiliates will have a token that will cause any type of subscription to be assigned to you. At first the program will pay 50% of the commission of the total subscription of the podcast in question. This is quite succulent since if a subscription has a price of 20 euros you will end up taking 10 euros.
Joins other similar programs of the company
This is not something new within Apple since it has other affiliate programs for the different services it has. It is true that in recent years the income that can end up being generated has been diminished. The clearest example is the one that covers the subscriptions of the iTunes Store, Apple Music, Apple TV + or Apple Books . These programs are designed for influencers and technology websites that may end up bringing all these services to their audience.
In order to enter the affiliate program, Apple has enabled a section on its website dedicated to these partner programs. In this, they can generate the necessary affiliate links as well as control all the income that will be generated by making the payment in a way that is generated every month.
