Q: Hi, The idea of creating private podcasts is interesting.

Are you similar to Soundwise? (It was available on AppSumo a while back.)

Thank you.

A: We are a private audio distribution platform that also offers automated messages. So you can automate a text or email or ringless call as people listen to your show, for example. Each show you create comes with a no-code sales page. And you have a profile page highlighting all your shows you made available for sale. You keep 100% of your revenues. Hiro doesn't take a cut. I'm not familiar with all of Soundwise features so I hope this explanation helps.

Hi Carla,

Thanks for your response.

Can you please explain the keyword feature a little more?

How does it work in an automation?

I'm wondering if it's the same concept as a chatbot automation, where someone can type a certain word in a comment on an Instagram post, for example, and that triggers an automation where they receive a message inviting them to get a lead magnet or some other offer.

I have soundwise and the two are slightly different in that you must use Soundwise app to listen to the audio files but with Hiro you have the ability to use any podcasting platform for playback or use the Hiro app if you want them to get push notifications. Hiro also uses sms as a means of distribution as well. Sneaky feature. I also think there are more ways to sell to your audience then soundwise. Soundwise first offer is very nice but limited flexibility. This one gives you just a little more flexibility. I hope this helps.

I love your ideas about the automation and chatbots. We aren't there yet. But would love to make it happen! We have to be very careful with the FCC.
