Your ad campaigns, in one place
Create campaigns, choose when and where ads play, and track ad delivery and recorded earnings.
Monetization is where you manage ads for your show, whether you are working with a sponsor or promoting something of your own. A campaign brings together the audio, its placement, the episodes it reaches, and the dates it can run.
Open your show and choose Monetization in the sidebar. Overview shows ad delivery, recorded earnings, live campaigns, and show fallbacks. Separate tabs let you move into campaign details, scheduling, performance, Ad Read Studio, and earnings without leaving the page.
Create a Campaign
Choose Create Campaign and give it a name you will recognize later. A name that includes the sponsor or promotion and its purpose is easier to find than a generic label when you have several campaigns.
Campaign Payment lets you record your agreement with the advertiser. Entering those details does not charge the advertiser. Keep the payment information consistent with the agreement you have made outside the campaign editor.
The setup follows a sequence: Details, Creative, Placement, Show Fallbacks, Schedule and Reach, then Review. The campaign remains a draft while you prepare it. Scheduling happens after the final review, so opening the form does not put an ad into your episodes.
Choose the Audio and Placement
In Creative, select a ready ad from your library or upload one. The library lets you reuse audio you have already prepared. Create with AI opens Ad Read Studio when you want to make an ad read as part of the setup.
Check the audio itself before continuing. Listen for the correct offer, pronunciation, and closing instruction, especially when a sponsor has supplied several versions. Give different versions clear names so you can tell them apart in the library.
Placement determines where the selected audio belongs. Pre-roll is before the episode, mid-roll is within it, and post-roll is after it. For a mid-roll placement, set the position in the episode rather than assuming the same moment will suit every recording.
Set the Dates and Episodes
Schedule and Reach controls when the campaign can run and which episodes it covers. Check the start date, end date if you use one, and time zone together. A date without the right time zone can describe a different release window than you intended.
Review the episode selection as carefully as the dates. A promotion intended for a particular set of episodes should not accidentally be assigned more broadly. The final review brings the campaign’s audio, placements, run dates, and reach together before you schedule it.
A scheduled campaign is not yet proof that an ad has played. Check its status and delivery reporting after it becomes eligible to run.
Decide What Plays between Campaigns
Show Fallbacks controls the audio used when no campaign fills a pre-roll or post-roll position. You can review those choices from Overview through Manage Fallbacks.
This is useful for an ongoing show promotion that should remain available between sponsor campaigns. If no fallback is selected, the position can remain silent. Mid-roll does not have a show fallback.
Review Delivery and Earnings
Overview keeps Ad Delivery and Earnings separate. Ad Delivery reports verified ad plays for the displayed period, with a comparison against the preceding period. Use View Campaign Performance to investigate the campaign reporting.
Earnings shows recorded earnings in the selected currency. Use View Earnings to review the underlying advertiser and campaign information. Recording campaign terms, recording earnings, and receiving a payment are separate events, so read the labels before treating a figure as money received.
Return to Overview to check what is live, then open the relevant campaign when you need its placement, schedule, or performance details in one consistent place.
