How To Set Up Your Apple ID For Podcasts Connect

To get your show on Apple Podcasts, you will need to have an Apple ID. For the best security, it’s best to have a separate Apple ID for your podcast, rather than using your personal one. 

Set 1: Creating your new Apple ID:

  1. Head over to https://appleid.apple.com/
  2. Click “Create Your Apple ID” in the top right corner
  3. Follow the instructions. Pro Tip: Create a Gmail for your podcast and use that as the email associated with your show’s Apple ID
  4. Once your Apple ID is created, activate it within iTunes

Step 2: Setting up your Apple ID for Podcasts Connect

  • For PC users: Download iTunes here if you do not have it installed: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT210384 
  • Open iTunes
  • Click “Account”
  • Click “Sign In” 
  • Enter your new Apple ID information
  • Walk through the steps provided

Ensuring your Apple ID is active

  • To make sure that your Apple ID is activated for your podcast, go to https://podcastsconnect.apple.com/
  • Enter your Apple ID information into the login box
  • The Apple Podcasts dashboard will prompt you with their agreement - follow the steps provided
