PodInbox Launches Chat Rooms for Podcasters
With PodInbox, you can now enable a text-based chat room on your fan page to help build your community.
For a while now, our users have asked for a feature to let their fans interact with each other. So, we released chat rooms. Chat rooms are a simple and effective way for podcasters to build community and encourage audience engagement.
Fans want to chat with each other and connect around a common interest…your podcast. PodInbox chat rooms provide a turnkey solution for this.
And being an integrated feature in our fan page platform, podcasters can optionally monetize their chat rooms with a flat-fee or a monthly subscription, by making it a private chat room.
How It’s Different
Unlike other more complex community platforms, PodInbox chat rooms are simple. It’s a real-time, text based chat, that conveniently lives right on your PodInbox fan page.
We see it as an entry point to activate passive listeners. Chat is a low barrier fan action. When fans participate in a chat room on your fan page, they’re taking a first step into being a member of your community.
Also, we want to help podcasters know their listeners, so organically capture your chat room participants in your PodInbox contacts list.
If you already run a membership, like a community, course, or a cohort, you can still use a PodInbox chat room as a first step into your other paid offerings.
How It Works
PodInbox chat rooms are available on all PodInbox account tiers. You can enable or disable your chat room with a simple toggle.
You can easily set your chat room’s cost for access…with options being free, one-time payment, and monthly subscription. The exact pricing is totally customizable. Creating a private chat room is a great way to monetize and reward your most loyal fans.
