There are tools available to Indie Podcasters that are inexpensive and worth their weight in gold.
I like to focus on tools that do two things.
- Save time
- Improve podcast quality
Here are the tools I use to grow and market my podcast as an Indie Podcaster.
Some of these links are affiliate links but not all of them. Feel free to bypass them and go to the source, but you have my thanks for supporting the mission if you do use one.
Alitu – Halve your editing Time
I’ve been using Alitu to half my editing time in post-production.
Drag-and-drop editing speeds up the process, while transcription editing allows you to be more precise. You can also play back at 2x speed for even faster editing.
Plus, it has post-production filters that level the sound and remove unwanted noise for professional-sounding audio.
Auphonic – For professional-sounding audio
Do you want every podcast you record to sound like it came out of a recording studio?
That’s what Auphonic can do for you. The software uses AI to balance your voice while reducing background noise.
I’ve had a monthly subscription for the last 3 years.

Next Day Podcast – Done for you Editing
Editing is the number one task indie podcasters wish they could outsource.
If that’s you, then you need Next Day Podcast.
They offer a 24-hour turnaround time on editing your podcast and have excellent value hobby plans.
Ulutraspeaking – Games for better speaking
I podcast unscripted, and the free course from Ultraspeaking helped me level up my confidence so that I could speak and trust the words would flow.
Highly recommend trying out a free account
ConvertKit – My newsletter tool of choice
The Indie Podcaster is hosted by Convertkit. I’ve been using them to help me as a creator for the last 5 years.
If you’re considering a newsletter, make it with ConvertKit.
Episodes.FM – My go-to podcast sharing link
I love Linktree for managing all the links associated with my podcast. But if someone wants to listen I’m sending them my EPisodes.FM link. It’s free
Hypefury – X/Twitter Growth and Scheduling
Promoting your podcast on X can be exhausting (excuse the pun).
Hypefury lets you schedule your content for the week, includes prompts for winning tweets, and allows you to easily interact with big accounts.
In the 6 weeks I’ve been using it, I’ve grown from 200-500 followers. I can’t recommend it enough.
