Music platforms

Three sites I am trying out to push my podcasts are Soundcloud, bandcamp and mixcloud, these are all mainstream music sites, but have added podcasting sections so there is some potential for them, though I am not sure how useful these will be

Soundcloud

SoundCloud is an online audio distribution platform and music sharing website based in Berlin that enables its users to upload, promote, and share audio, as well as a DSP enabling listeners to stream audio. Started in 2007 by Alexander Ljung and Eric Wahlforss, SoundCloud has grown to be one of the largest music streaming services reaching over 175 million monthly users worldwide. SoundCloud offers both free and paid membership on the platform, available for desktop and mobile devices.

Bandcamp

Artists and labels upload music to Bandcamp and control how they sell it, setting their own prices, offering fans the option to pay more and selling merchandise.

Fans are able to download their purchases or stream their music on the Bandcamp app/site only once or unlimited times by preserving the purchase voucher. They can also send purchased music as a gift, view lyrics, and save individual songs or albums to a wish list. Uploading music to Bandcamp is free, and the company takes a 15% cut of sales made from their website, which drops to 10% after an artist's sales surpass $5,000.
