Does the size of my audience matter?
The size of your audience isn't the primary focus in CodeADX. What matters more is the quality of your listeners' engagement and their trust in your recommendations. Smaller podcasts often have very loyal listeners who are more likely to purchase based on the host's suggestions. It only takes one listener for you to make money.
-
I won't generate a lot of impressions. Will that matter?
No, you earn by convincing listeners to buy with your code. You are paid each time they buy. You are not paid for impressions, so the number of impressions you generate doesn't really matter. More important is the audience's trust in your recommendations. So, even if you don't generate a lot of impressions, you'll still be able to make a lot of money.
-
How long should the ad be?
The length of your podcast commercial is up to you. CodeADX doesn't rely on traditional ad commercial lengths, placements, or styles. Instead, we encourage you to learn about the products you promote and share your excitement with your audience. Feel free to use whatever method you think best connects with your listeners. Remember, the better you promote the product, the greater chance you have your audience will buy with your code. And without the restrictions of traditional ad styles, you can creatively explain the benefits of the products and drive more sales for yourself!
-
Where should I place the ad in my show?
Technically, it's not a traditional ad like a 30 or 60-second pre-roll or mid-roll. With CodeADX, you don't have to follow any placement rules. You know your audience best and understand how to connect with them. Try and weave your product pitch into your show, so it is an authentic recommendation. You have the creative freedom to showcase the benefits of the products you promote in your unique way.
-
How many advertisers can I partner with?
You can partner with as many advertisers as you want and choose whatever ad deals appeal to you. The more you feel their products and culture align with you, the easier it will be to authentically promote their products. The more you promote, the more you can earn.
-
What info should I tell listeners about the products I'm promoting?
When you browse the marketplace for ad deals, you will see each has a promo file. The promo file is uploaded by the store you are promoting and is designed to educate you about their products and culture. Promo files will have written product descriptions, talking points, product reviews, site links, photos, videos, or even a video of the advertiser explaining their products. The promo file gives you an easy-to-digest information packet describing the company's story, products, and culture.
-
How do I create my profile on CodeADX for advertisers to see?
CodeADX simplifies the process by automatically generating a profile using your podcast's RSS feed. Thus follow these steps.

Ensure your podcast's RSS feed contains accurate and current information, such as the show's name, category, description, author's name, explicit content status, and related social and other links.
-
Write an engaging description highlighting your podcast's theme and the topics you cover. This will help the advertisers you pick understand the value of partnering with your show.

How much can I make from ad deals in the CodeADX marketplace?
The amount you can make as a podcaster in the CodeADX marketplace depends on several factors:
-
The higher the commission the advertiser offers for each sale, the more you can earn.
-
Your earnings will also be affected by the total purchase amount made by your listeners using your promo code.
-
The number of items you can motivate your listeners to buy is equally important. The more sales you can generate, the higher your earnings will be.
-
Choose ad deals that align with your podcast's theme and audience to maximize your earnings. Partner with multiple advertisers and promote products you genuinely believe in. This will help you authentically motivate your listeners to make purchases.

What's so special about the embedded player bar?
It turns your site into a media player. It will play all the episodes and videos you place on your site. All your episodes are pre-loaded into the bar's content tray. The bar manages each episode's playback and video to ensure seamless listening and viewing. This means the podcast won't play over the video and vice versa. The media will continue to play even when users change pages on your site, providing an engaging and uninterrupted user experience. It's as if your site becomes a media player app you would download from the app store.
-
Are the CodeADX apps iOS and Android?
Yes, CodeADX apps are Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), also known as instant apps. They can be downloaded directly from your mobile website, bypassing the need for traditional app stores. Listeners can install your app directly from the mobile website provided by CodeADX. Alternatively, suppose you choose to use your own site with the embedded player bar. In that case, the bar provides the PWA functionality, allowing listeners to install your app directly from your site. With CodeADX's PWA functionality, podcasters can easily share their apps with their audience through their URL.
-
What types of sites can the player bar be installed into?
The embedded player bar is a versatile solution designed for seamless integration with various websites. It comes as a WordPress plugin for easy installation on WordPress-based sites. Additionally, it can be installed on non-WordPress sites, including those using other content management systems or custom-coded sites. This flexibility allows you to turn your site into a media player app, regardless of its underlying platform.
-
What URL is given to me for my CodeADX sites and apps?
When you sign up for CodeADX, you receive a custom URL based on the name of your show, formatted as yourshowname. codex.me. If you'd like to change or tweak your show name in the URL, you can do so by visiting the 'My URL' page once you've logged into your CodeADX account. This personalized URL helps you promote your podcast and connect with your audience more effectively.
-
Can I use my URL to promote my show?
Absolutely! Your custom URL is designed to be an easy and effective way to promote your show. Share the link with your audience on social media, email newsletters, or other marketing channels. Directing listeners to your CodeADX sites and apps will make it easy for them to access your podcast, promo codes, and other related content.
