Share your Chorus Link

Let your listeners know that they can join your community on Chorus! Here are some ways that you can share your Chorus Link:

  • Read it out on-air (this one seems to work really well).
  • Add it to your podcast + episode descriptions.
  • Add it to your podcast’s twitter profile.
  • Send out an email or tweet to your listeners.
  • If you have a subreddit, post it there.
  • If you post episodes to youtube, add it to your video descriptions.
  • Buy a cheap projector and find a tall building.
  • Put it on your merch (flyers, cards, etc).

Make sure your listeners can find you

For listeners, one of the best parts of Chorus is getting to engage with their favorite podcasters — so make sure they can find you!

Each person that worked on your podcast should add themselves as a Creator. Here’s how:

  1. Create a Chorus account.
  2. Search for your podcast on Chorus and press the “add yourself as a creator” button on the Podcast page.

Also, make sure you write a bio! You can do this on the Account screen.
