Multiple ways to earn from your audio
Audio unlocks revenue channels that written newsletters can't access. InkToAudio gives you the tools to capture all of them.
Sponsored intros and outros
The most common audio ad format. Add a 15–30 second sponsor message at the start or end of every episode. Charge premium CPMs because your audience chose to listen — they're not passive scrollers.
- Pre-roll (before the episode)
- Post-roll (after the episode)
- Custom sponsor scripts
- Host-read style delivery
Native host-read style messages
Mid-roll sponsor spots inserted into the episode. InkToAudio's AI narrator reads them in the same voice as your episode — creating a seamless, native listening experience that outperforms traditional display ads.
- Sounds like your host, not an ad
- 3× higher recall than display ads
- Custom message per sponsor
- Episode-level or feed-wide
Subscriber-only audio feeds
Create a private, gated RSS feed exclusively for paid subscribers. Offer your audio edition as a premium benefit — something your free subscribers want but only your paying audience gets.
- Private RSS feed URL
- Authenticated access
- Works with any podcast app
- Drives subscription upgrades
Listener data for sponsors
Prove the value of your audio audience with real data. Share listen counts, completion rates, and engagement metrics with sponsors — the kind of verified data that commands premium rates.
- Per-episode listen counts
- Completion rate percentage
- Listener drop-off charts
- Shareable sponsor reports
Why audio sponsorships command higher rates
Podcast listeners are an advertiser's dream audience. They chose to listen, they trust the host, and they complete episodes.

How to add sponsorships to your audio
Upload your sponsor's audio clip — or let InkToAudio read the sponsor message in your voice. Either way, it's live in seconds.
Upload an intro/outro asset or write a sponsor script
Use the Intro/Outro Assets section to upload pre-recorded sponsor audio, or write a text script and InkToAudio will read it in your chosen voice — sounding just like the rest of your episode.
Assign it to episodes or an entire feed
Apply sponsor content to individual episodes, a date range, or your entire podcast feed. Rotate sponsors by time period, or run a permanent intro for an ongoing sponsor.
Track performance and share reports
Monitor listen counts and completion rates per episode. InkToAudio shows you exactly how many people heard your sponsor message — data you can share directly with advertisers.
Monetization is available on all paid plans
Intro/outro assets, premium subscriber feeds, and listener analytics are included in paid InkToAudio subscriptions. No revenue share — everything you earn from sponsorships is yours.
Monetization questions
Does InkToAudio take a cut of my sponsorship revenue?
No. InkToAudio charges a flat subscription fee and does not take any percentage of your sponsorship or subscription revenue. Everything you earn from advertisers is yours.
Can I use my own sponsor audio or does InkToAudio generate it?
Both. You can upload pre-recorded sponsor audio clips, or write a text script and InkToAudio will generate the narration in your chosen voice. Many creators do both depending on the sponsor.
How do I create a premium subscriber feed?
Create a new RSS feed in your InkToAudio dashboard and mark it as private. You'll receive a unique, authenticated feed URL to share exclusively with paying subscribers — for example, through your Substack, Beehiiv, or membership platform.
What analytics are available to share with sponsors?
You can view and export per-episode listen counts, completion rates, and listener drop-off charts. These are verifiable metrics that sponsors can use to evaluate ROI.
What CPM can I expect for audio ads?
Podcast CPMs typically range from $18–$50+ depending on your audience size, niche, and engagement. Because InkToAudio tracks verified listen data, you can negotiate based on actual audience numbers rather than estimates.
