Hello Audio Transforms Content Into Consumable Audio
Hello Audio is a private podcasting platform that helps creators turn their existing content into audio feeds that audiences can listen to on-the-go. Instead of requiring your audience to sit at their computer to consume your videos or PDFs, Hello Audio converts your content into private podcast feeds they can access through their favorite podcast apps. Think of it as the bridge between your valuable content and your busy audience's real life.
How Hello Audio Works
Step 1: Upload Your Content
You upload your media files (video, audio, or other supported formats) directly to Hello Audio. Our platform automatically converts video files to audio, so your audience can listen instead of watch.
Step 2: Create Private Feeds
Unlike public podcasts that anyone can find, Hello Audio creates private feeds that only specific people can access. You control exactly who gets to listen to your content.
Step 3: Send Subscription Links
You add listeners individually, in bulk, or automatically through integrations like Zapier. Each listener receives a subscription email with a simple button to subscribe in their preferred podcast app (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, etc.).
Step 4: Your Audience Listens Anywhere
Your content is now available wherever your audience goes. They can listen while commuting, exercising, doing chores, or any other time when sitting down to watch a video isn't possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from just uploading MP3s to my course platform?
Hello Audio delivers content through podcast apps, which means your audience can listen anywhere without logging into platforms or downloading files. It's as convenient as listening to their favorite podcast, which dramatically increases consumption.
Can I use this for both private and public podcasts?
Yes. Hello Audio supports both private feeds (for specific audiences) and public feeds (searchable on podcast directories), but our strength is in private content transformation for creators.
What happens to my content if I stop using Hello Audio?
You maintain complete ownership of all your content. Hello Audio is the delivery system, not the content owner. You can download your files anytime.
How quickly can I get started?
Over 70% of new users launch their first audio feed in less than 24 hours. The platform is designed for creators, not tech experts, so you can get up and running quickly.
Will this work with my existing tools and platforms?
Absolutely. Hello Audio integrates with email services, CRMs, course platforms, and other tools through Zapier and direct integrations, so it fits into your existing workflow.
