Hello Product Hunt! At Soundwise we are working to build the best audio publishing platform for world-class creators to sell all types of audio products directly to their listeners. With Soundwise, your audience can enjoy your paid audio easily on the go, while your content is kept safe. It’s the closest thing to having your own audio apps, without paying for hefty development fees. We serve the intelligent and independent creators who want flexibility, freedom, and control over the destiny of their audio products. We’re committed to building an enabling platform for them to play, experiment, and make an impact through audio. Soundwise covers all your audio publishing needs under one roof, from recording and content hosting, to marketing and payment processing, to content delivery and analytics tracking. Whether you have one premium podcast or 1,000 albums for sale, you can manage them with equal ease on Soundwise. 📣 We’ll be hosting a free webinar titled Create Audio That Sell, this Friday (1/29/2021), at 2 pm US Eastern time, for Product Hunt users.

@matthiasschwehm Thank you, Matthias! Love how you're using Soundwise to help people sleep better and become more self-confident.
@schuyler_mitchell Thank you very much, Schuyler! :-) Although I am using Soundwise as a producer "just" since around 7 months, Soundwise is about changing my business-life very much. (And my first website was online in the year 2000. So I am surely no newcomer). My advice to everyone having the idea/the goal to produce audios: Go with Soundwise, GO, GO, GO!
Natasha Che
@matthiasschwehm thank you for your endorsement and trust in us!

I've been a fan of this app since last year. The interface is clean and simple, easy to set up a subscription business and my members like it as well. Plus, they have an excellent customer service team if you ever need assistance with anything.
Schuyler Mitchell
@be_creatv Thanks so much for the feedback, Ivan! Happy to hear you're enjoying Soundwise

Soundwise had a feature I didn't know I wanted, but has been a game-changer for the readers of my book Just Do THIS... I can either let people RENT the audiobook as a bonus, or gift it to them for sharing with others. For new readers, they can also rent instead of buy (or buy) which competes with Audible... but the difference is that I can maintain a relationship (call it marketing if you want) with my readers focused on IT Services. You can't do that with Audible! Have a look for yourself: https://mysoundwise.com/soundcas... Next month we're also launching two podcasts - one paid and one free... and Soundwise is going to seriously reduce the work we have to do because we can template the process and just import the audio from our live streams! That means our listeners can use one app for the book, paid podcast and free podcast. I'm really happy!
Schuyler Mitchell
@djeshelman Love to hear the different ways you're selling audio! Thanks so much for your support.

I LOVE Soundcast!!! It gave me easy tools to start my first public podcast called The World Class Copywriting and Marketing Podcast at https://mysoundwise.com/soundcas... and now thanks to their fantastic free training I am currently working on my first premium audio programs :) With Soundwise you get EVERYTHING you need to create, promote and monetize audio content including great looking landing pages, audio video grams and more!!! Again check out what I did with my podcast here —-> https://mysoundwise.com/soundcas... and me know what you think!!!

Love Soundwise! So many possibilities here. I have and using for private podcast and for quarterly book club too. As a podcaster and community creator I plan continuing to use audio format for my business.

I have been a huge fan of Soundwise for the last 6 months with a major launch of my entire back catalogue of over 400 meditation and mindfulness tracks. We are launching the platinum option this month and have just arranged our second platinum option. It's an awesome platform. https://mysoundwise.com/publishe...

I've been using Soundwise for nearly a year and love it. I spent ages trying to find a solution that allowed me to set up a premium Music Coaching audio programme for recording artists looking to take their career to the next level. I almost gave up until I discovered Soundwise. I then also started using it as a Podcaster, offering access to premium content, interviews etc for my writing academy. Top 6 things I love about Soundwise: 1) It is super easy to use. 2) Giving my clients an app that they can use on the go (and download content for offline listening which I love - not everyone has data plans). 3) The value-add of uploading PDFs (I offer weekly worksheets is a game changer as it goes way beyond passive listening). 4) Soundwise take care of app support issues. 5) Web access for clients if they prefer this option over an app. 6) As a podcaster, I saw the value of creating premium paid-for content. I think this is the future as people start to realise that you have to create sustainable models for content moving forward. Like every product, there are always further ways to enhance it, and I am looking forward to seeing what the team develop next. You can see how I am using it here: Music Life Coach: https://mysoundwise.com/soundcas... Bestseller Academy: http://academy.bestsellerexperim...

@m_d3 Thank you for your thorough review! It's great that you've found multiple ways to use Soundwise for different types of audio content. We're happy you didn't give up on your audio program before you found us :)
Leslie Potter
Soundwise is my favorite app in my business. I'm able to create up to date content for my folks and they can experience the ease of listening daily. Things were VERY clunky before Soundwise and now life is a breeze. Thanks Soundwise. Check out how beautiful their landing page is: https://mysoundwise.com/publishe...
Schuyler Mitchell
@purejoyparenting This is fantastic, thanks for sharing! We always hope to make the Soundwise experience as easy and seamless as possible.

Hello everyone, I’m a meditation writer, practitioner and vocalist. I love how amazingly easy it is to integrate my audio from one platform to the next using Soundwise. I currently have a Meditation Single up that I’d love to share with anyone interested in all things peaceful yet empowering. It’s free. Have a listen: https://mysoundwise.com/publishe...
Hans Hageman
I discovered Soundwise a little while ago. I'm a nonprofit executive director at https://landtolearn.org. I'm also a mindfulness and breathwork coach who has started to use the platform to provide guided visualizations and mindfulness meditations to the people I serve - students, members of the military, and farmers (I know, a pretty eclectic group). I had been sitting on my projects for a while. Soundwise has made it easy to begin delivering my content. You can hear what I'm doing at https://mysoundwise.com/soundcas...
Schuyler Mitchell
@hanshageman So glad you've had a great experiencing using Soundwise!

@natasha_che Very impressive service! It appears listeners must purchase audio on the web, and then they can consume it in the app, is that right? The "apple tax" has been a major hurdle for podcasters to sell their content in an app, and wondering if you had found a way around it.
Natasha Che
@inorganik We actually enable in-app purchases for some creators on our higher tiers who want it enabled. For some creators the additional convenience and reduced signup friction is worth the 'apple tax'. But we understand that for most this is a hurdle. Currently if a listener shows interest in purchasing an audio program on the app, we direct them to the web sales page of that program. That's the default we're using.

Soundwise is solid! I purchased it for a client that wanted to use an alternative to Audible. In using the product I found it very easy to navigate and get your audio content up for sale quickly and with a nice interface. What I also found fascinating was that you could also offer a free version of the same content or mix the versions if you wanted to with free and paid. Lots of options for creators. I work with large companies for creating internal and external podcast so I have podcast hosting companies as clients. So Soundwise is an option when I have clients that need a protected podcast but don't fit into any of the other solutions I have access too. Of course I couldn't recommend it if I didn't create on the platform as well. You can find my brand new podcast here: https://mysoundwise.com/soundcas... It's free and focused on rising well when you start your day. They also have a great Slack community along with a blog that shares info on how to build your audio business with success stories from other creators that are using Soundwise. It's very worth a try!
Schuyler Mitchell
@rosspr Thanks so much! I love how you've been able to put Soundwise to use in various ways for both you and your clients. Excited to tune in to your new podcast!
