# Guide To Getting Started With CoHost
### Signing Up for Your Trial
To try CoHost with no strings attached, sign up for our 7-day free trial.
To do this, simply click any button on our website that says “Start Trial”. From there, you’ll be sent to our join page.
Fill out your information and click “Start your 7-day free trial”.
You’ll be brought to our “Get to Know You” page where we ask a couple of questions before you enter the platform.
Once done, click “Go to CoHost”.
### CoHost’s Demo Simulation
When you first enter the platform, you’ll be brought what we like to call the “demo simulation”. Here, we’ve populated data into CoHost so you can get a feel of what the platform will look like when it’s your own podcast data!
If you like what you see and you’d like to officially start your 7-day trial with your podcast, simply head to the “Create” or “Import” at the top right of the page.
#### Option 1: Creating Your Podcast on CoHost
When you select, “Create” through your demo account, you’ll be brought to a series of questions about your podcast.
Don’t have all the answers yet? No problem! You can always leave some areas blank or change them later on.
You’ll be asked about elements like:
- Podcast title
- Show owner
- Cover art
- Description & categories
Once done, click “Confirm & Create”.
#### Option 2: Importing Your Podcast to CoHost
If you selected “Import”, you’ll be brought to a page to import your RSS feed. You’ll then have to verify ownership with a verification code that’s sent to the RSS feed owner.
Once done, click “Next: Process Import”.
See this guide on [how to move your podcast to CoHost](https://help.cohostpodcasting.com/how-to-move-your-podcast-to-cohost?hsLang=en-us).
### Starting Your 7-Day Free Trial
Once done Option 1 or 2, you’ll officially start your 7-day free trial. Here, you’ll be able to test all of our features, analyze your data, and publish your podcast.
As stated, the trial will last for 7 days and after 7 days, you’ll be prompted to add your billing information to the platform if you wish to continue your account.
You can also add your billing information at any point throughout your 7-day trial if you wish.
