Nanacast Quickstart Guide

Create a basic Podcast

1. Login to Nanacast. From the menu, click Publish >> Podcast Wizard
   
   


2. Type Podcast Name, Publisher Name, and Customer Service email. Note that these are the only required fields for this step. All other features on this step are optional.
   
   
   
   Complete the Nanacast.com-Hosted Sales Page box if you plan to use it. You can paste in HTML generated by your favorite HTML editor application or use the provided HTML Editor.
   Complete the Head Tag HTML Code box if needed. Otherwise, after completing the Podcast Wizard, you’ll have the option to create an order link, buy now button, or form to place on your own website sales page.
   After completing any optional steps desired, click the bottom button to Continue To Next Step


3. The next step is to set up the Welcome Episode that gets sent to every new subscriber immediately following subscription. There are no required fields here—everything is optional, including the Episode: if you don’t want to set up a Welcome Episode yet, just hit the Cancel and Continue to Next Step button.
   
   
4. The next page is the Edit Pricing and Delivery page. All of these settings are optional and editable later. Here you can select your Payment setting (Free with no Thank-You page, Free, or One-time payment vs. Subscription) and your pricing strategy. If you leave it at free with no thank-you page, it is a true one-click subscription and there is nothing else to configure except chosing your buy/subscribe button. If you select the other payment settings, other options will appear. The major options on this page include:
   • Setup of an affiliate program for this offer, if desired.
   • Defining your thank-you page and email content.
   • Activating Physical Product Fulfillment and configuring settings for that.
   At any point during those options, you can save and continue to next step.
