The metrics apply to January through July, during which Libsyn paid out 40% more to creators compared to the same period a year earlier. The dollar number for that period is not disclosed, but Libsyn does tell us that it has paid out $112 million in creator earnings since 2017.
In good news for smaller shows on Libsyn’s platform, the company has discarded the previous 2,000-download minimum to be included in Automatic Podcast Ads, giving every client some earning potential regardless of audience size.
In another expansion initiative, Libsyn a hosting feature called Multi-use Management to all customers — a feature formerly reserved for businesses in the Pro and Enterprise levels.
“At Libsyn, we believe every creator deserves more than just a platform—they deserve real support to build their audience, own their work, and create a sustainable media business on their own terms,” said CEO Brendan Monaghan.
As a side announcement, Libsyn is bragging about a few new roster additions: 10% Happier with Dan Harris, The Jamie O and Mason Ho Show, and Stay True with Madison Prewitt Troutt.
