What is Impressions.FM?
An ad network for independent podcasters with industry-leading revenue shares, free access to Megaphone by Spotify, and chill vibes.

How much money will I save?
A lot! We lower your overhead by providing free hosting and ad tech, we sell more of your ads and we let you keep more of the money.

Is there a download minimum to sign up?
There is no download minimum to join the network. That said, podcasters with less than 50k monthly impressions won’t see meaningful direct sales (host-read) revenue.
-
What percentage does Impressions take?
In most cases, between 20-25%, which is a bit less than what is common.

Nope! We simply ask for 60 days notice so we can fulfill any sold campaigns.

How do I sign up?
Start by filling out our onboarding form.

How do I get paid?
After signing up, you will get an email inviting you to sign up for a Bill.com account. Once your Bill.com account is set up, you’ll receive regular monthly payments.
-
How quickly will I see revenue?
There are several onboarding scenarios that we should discuss before migrating your show.
SPAN has an approval process for new shows that can take a few weeks, and it also takes a few weeks to secure direct campaigns for new shows. But we can start monetizing your show immediately via other programmatic marketplaces. -
What is Megaphone by Spotify?
Well, in our opinion, Megaphone by Spotify is the best podcast hosting and monetization platform, as well as a really great ad network. By joining the Impressions network, you get free access to the hosting and monetization tools.
-
How often will I get paid?
Every month, on time.

What about taxes?
That’s between you and the government. We’ll send you a 1099 every February that you can use to file.
