GROWTH
Gain new listeners through clips, comments and playlists
Podcasters are led to believe that they must put as many hours into marketing as they do into production. It's no surprise that 90% of podcasts don't make it past episode 3. Fountain gives you and your listeners a suite of powerful tools to spread the word. All social activity in Fountain helps your content reach new audiences so that you can grow faster without working harder.
MONETISATION
Convert your biggest fans into supporters
Earning a meaningful income from ads or sponsors requires a lot of listeners. Managing a podcast subscription is a lot of extra work. Sending people to a website to set up a direct debit makes no sense. Fountain gives your listeners an easy way to show they support directly from their podcast player. Simple, frictionless, fun.
ENGAGEMENT
Get feedback on what your listeners love
Podcasts use downloads as a measure of success, but this metric alone doesn't tell you how engaged your audience really is. Most podcasters get very little feedback from listeners at all. Fountain brings you closer to your fans and makes the conversation flow. Spark discussions, hear what your listeners have to say and reward your ride or dies.

One that rewards good work and encourages a healthy feedback cycle from listeners. I can't believe we haven't had this until now.
