Starting a podcast and want your own custom domain name?

Or maybe you don’t want your podcast’s website to be at thebestpodcast.libsyn.com but instead be at thebestpodcast.com.

Check out our complete guide to learning how to start a podcast or how to upload to iTunes.

Podcasting isn’t too hard to learn, but there are quite a few steps you will need to follow in order to start a podcast.

Best Royalty-Free Music & Sound Effects For Podcasts & Videos

Disclosure: Links to other sites may be affiliate links that generate us a small commission at no extra cost to you.

You’ll often need good quality background music, jingles, or sound effects when starting a podcast.

It’s critical to look for royalty-free licenses when using music for podcasts (and YouTube video podcasts) so that you don’t have to pay per use or download.

All of these companies offer royalty-free tracks, but the price of the initial license varies. You’ll find most range from $20-30 to just a text credit and a link.

They usually let you sort by genre, mood, tags, and other methods to filter and find the style you’re looking for.
