Zencastr’s Creator Network is a non-exclusive network where you can explore opportunities that fit your show. It’s free to join, and you have the control to opt into whichever ad program you see fit. To get started, join here.

If you’re a new or longtime user of Zencastr you are not automatically part of ZCN. If you’re interested and ready for monetization, join here.

You can stay with your current host provider and still join the Creator Network to receive Ambassador Ad and Host-Read Sponsorship opportunities. To unlock all offers in these programs if you are hosting elsewhere, it is recommended to apply our custom pixel prefix as some campaigns require tracking. More information here. If you’d like to participate in our Programmatic Ads program, your podcast needs to be hosted on Zencastr. 

No, connecting your show simply copies it and syncs it to Zencastr, but it doesn’t change your hosting provider and won’t affect your podcast availability or audience. Connecting your show is required to join ZCN because this enables us to send you offers, generate unique promo codes, and allows you to mark your ads so that your advertising partners can listen to your beautifully-crafted ad read. If you’re interested in switching to Zencastr hosting, see the resource guide here. 

Users on any subscription plan, free or paid, can be part of ZCN. Join here.

Creator+ is a free subscription plan with more features than our base Free plan. It is only available for creators who are monetizing with ZCN as this is an important element that allows us to provide the premium plan features for free. For an overview of what’s included and to apply to the plan, see our pricing page. 

The Ambassador and Host-Read Sponsorship programs are host-read ad scripts. You can put the ads in your episodes via “baked-in” or dynamic insertion, depending on your host provider. If you host with Zencastr and opt into Programmatic ads, you’ll be in the driver seat to confirm which ad slots you want ads to be automatically placed.

Immediately after you join ZCN, and you’re matched with a first offer that you can accept or reject in your dashboard.

As much as you’d like! The kickback for Ambassador ads can be pretty great. Watch our happy creator testimonials here.
