Show Notes & Transcription Services
Having a show notes page for your podcast episodes creates a home that you can send your listeners to, to find links to things discussed on the show, and additional resources, and further promote your brand and any sponsors you may have. Transcriptions of your episodes also allow your audience to refer back to specific content and search the text for useful information. It's a great way to increase the value and professionalism of your podcast.
​
Video Versions
We can deliver video versions of your episodes, featuring your podcast logo while the episode plays - allowing you to expand the reach of your podcast to Youtube and other video platforms.

We can write copy as well as add music, SFX, and VO, and professionally mix your sponsor reads for an incredibly professional presentation of sponsorship placements that won't detract from your show and the listener experience.
Podcast Website Creation
Every podcast should have a "home" where it can live online. In addition to being distributed through the big podcasting platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, etc... it's also important to have a central hub where people can listen to the show, find show notes for each episode, learn more about the host or company behind the podcast, and more. VPN Pro Services can help you create a beautiful website to give your show the home it deserves online.
