iTunes

At this point it appears to me that iTunes is the core of getting subscriptions. The great majority of my subscribers are finding me through the iTunes store. If you are into podcasts, iTunes is a spot where probably all podcasters post a link. It is free to link your podcast to iTunes but iTunes does not provide hosting services. Podbean and probably all hosting services provide a reasonably simple set of steps for linking to iTunes.

I have found Podbean to be a bit difficult to navigate. I have learned my way around after about two months, but the FAQ need to be fleshed out some more.
