"Should I use Soundcloud for my podcast? " With so many audio hosting services available to podcasters, it can be difficult to choose the best one for your needs. Perhaps Soundcloud is the platform for you?

Before you sign up for service with them, I think it's important to read my thoughts on the topic.

Let's make this short and tell you that I'm not particularly a fan of Soundcloud.

When I first started my own podcast "Be The Experience," I first went with Soundcloud. When I went with this service, everyone kept telling me to use Libsyn or Blubrry because the services provided much more for a similar price.

Although I had used Blubrry in the past, I thought, "You know what? I'm going to try Soundcloud so that I can see whether the service is worthy of being used."

At the time when I signed up for Soundcloud, I received an email a week later--from Soundcloud--that the service was the verge of shutting down. At the time, Soundcloud hadn't figured out a way to monetize to the point of profit. Since that time, the service has stepped up their game, but they haven't ever really been a big player in the podcast market.

I know they have tried to make a dent in the podcast hosting provider market, but they just don't provide enough in "service" than the big dogs--Libsy, Blubrry and Spreaker.

I've always looked at Soundcloud as a platform mainly for musicians, not podcasting. Why?

If you sign up with Soundcloud, their service is basic at best. With all of the changes that are happening with Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc., Soundcloud hasn't made metadata a priority on its platform.

When podcasters complain about their podcast not showing up the right way on these syndication platforms, those problems fall back on the service provider who is providing the fields for the podcaster to fill out. I can't tell you whether Soundcloud has stepped up their game in this department, but from what I have seen from those who have purchased service with Soundcloud, there hasn't been much in terms of "updates" on their metadata platform.

One thing Soundcloud doesn't offer is the ability to replace an audio file once an episode has been published.
