You recorded one episode. The platform ran the other seven stages.

§ 02, WHAT RAN THE EPISODE

Twelve modules. One system.

That lifecycle did not touch twelve apps. It touched one platform where every module already talks to every other. Here is the crew behind one episode.

01

Business email

hello@yourshow.com on your own domain. Guest and sponsor replies in one inbox.

02

Episode directory

A CMS collection of every episode, with notes, transcript and player. Built once, live everywhere.

03

Guest directory

A CMS collection of every guest, with bio, links and the episodes they joined.

04

Contracts & e-sign

Sponsor and guest agreements signed online. No printing, no scanning, no chasing.

05

Invoicing

Bill sponsors and paid guests, collected through your own Stripe or Paystack.

06

Sponsor pipeline

Every sponsor inquiry becomes a card you move from first email to signed deal.

07

SMS & WhatsApp

New-episode alerts straight to the phones of listeners who opted in.

08

Show ambassadors

Turn top listeners and guests into ambassadors with tracked links and auto payouts.

09

Listener quizzes

Listener-magnet quizzes that grow your list and segment fans by their answers.

10

Reviews

Collect member testimonials automatically, then feature them on your show pages.

11

Tips & donations

A tip jar under every episode. Listeners pay you directly, you keep it all.

12

Live streaming

Stream AMAs and live recordings to members and the public, right on your domain.

Every module on, from day one. Nobody takes a cut.

§ 03, ONE LISTENER, ONE RECORD

Every stage wrote to the same listener record.

The lifecycle did not scatter Devon across Patreon, Discord and Substack. Every step wrote to one record you own.

One listener. One record. Cancel tomorrow and Devon's record leaves with you.

§ 06, QUESTIONS

Common questions.

What independent podcasters want to know before moving their direct-to-listener side onto TribeNest.

Do I need to leave my podcast host (Buzzsprout, Transistor, Captivate)?

No. TribeNest is the direct-to-listener layer, not the RSS host. Keep Buzzsprout, Transistor, Captivate, or whatever you're using. Apple, Spotify, Overcast still pull from your existing host. TribeNest hosts your private paid feed, your community, your newsletter, and your show site on top of that.

How does the private paid feed work technically?

Each paying member gets a unique tokenized RSS URL. They paste it into Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or any RSS app. Premium episodes show up alongside their other shows. Token revokes automatically if their membership lapses.

Can I import my Patreon and Substack subscribers without losing them?

Yes. Export your Patreon members and Substack paid subs as CSV (both platforms support this), then import into a TribeNest membership tier. Members keep their billing date if you preserve it. Existing private podcast feeds stay accessible during the transition.

What about pre-roll and mid-roll ads, do those still work?

Yes. Your podcast host handles ad insertion as usual. TribeNest's role is the paid layer that sits on top, not the ad layer. Most shows monetize both: ads for the public feed, memberships for the paid feed and community.

Can I run a community chat without forcing fans to use Discord?

Yes. TribeNest's community is on your domain, with tier-gated channels. Free listeners see the public conversation. Paid members see member-only channels and direct messages. No separate Discord server, no separate signup.

How much of the episode lifecycle is really automatic?

As much as you want. The auto-clips, the comment-to-DM reply, the trial nudge, the community welcome, the sponsor deal card and the win-back all run as automation flows you set up once. Starter runs 3 active flows, Pro and Business run unlimited. Mira drafts each one; you approve before anything sends.

What does Mira actually do for an indie podcaster?

Mira reads your paid feed signups, episode drop-off curves, community activity, ad performance, and mailing list growth, and gives you one daily briefing. She flags ad slots that hurt retention, drafts thank-you sequences for new paid subs after a Q&A spike, suggests cross-promo swaps with similar shows, and forecasts paid-feed conversion for the next launch. She proposes; you approve every action. She also doesn't touch your podcast RSS host (Buzzsprout, Transistor, Captivate); that stays where it is.

Will Mira post episodes or DM my listeners without asking?

No. Mira only ever proposes. Every action, sending a launch email, publishing a bonus episode, replying to a DM, requires your explicit approval. She drafts. You decide. The system executes.

§ 07, GO INDEPENDENT
