Quick answer
To add your podcast to Amazon Music, put your email address in your RSS feed, go to podcasters.amazon.com and click Add or Claim Your Podcast. Sign in with your Amazon account, paste your RSS feed URL and submit. Then confirm the verification email Amazon sends to your feed address. The same steps claim a show already listed.
Before you start
Step by step
1
Many podcast hosts can list your show on Amazon Music for you from their directories or distribution settings. Look there first. If your show is already on Amazon Music, you will claim it with the steps below rather than submit it again.
Tip: Search Amazon Music for your show name before you submit, so you don't create a duplicate listing.
2
In your host's settings, make sure an email address you can open is shown in your RSS feed. Amazon sends its verification email to this address. Many hosts hide it by default, so you may need to switch it on.
Some hosts suggest leaving the email in the feed for a day or two so the change has time to reach Amazon.
Tip: Use an email the show owner controls, not a freelancer's or agency's personal inbox.
3
Go to podcasters.amazon.com and click Add or Claim Your Podcast. The same button works for a brand new show and for a show that is already on Amazon Music.
4
Sign in with your Amazon login. If you don't have one, choose Create new account. Use the account that belongs to the show owner.
5
Copy your RSS feed URL from your host. Paste it into the form, select your country, and click Submit.
6
Amazon sends a confirmation email to the address in your RSS feed. Open it and click the link to confirm you own the show. After that you can use the Amazon Music for Podcasters dashboard and stats.
New shows can take a few hours to appear on Amazon Music. If you claimed a show that was already listed, you usually get dashboard access straight away.
Tip: No email? Check spam, then check the email address actually showing in your feed.
Amazon Music for Podcasters does not appear to offer a way to invite team members or give someone their own role. (Amazon Music for Artists has team roles, but that is a different product.) Until Amazon adds one, keep access simple and safe:
Troubleshooting
Amazon only emails the address shown in your RSS feed. Check that your host is actually publishing it, check spam, and give the feed time to update before you try again.
Don't submit it again, or you may create a duplicate. Use the same Add or Claim Your Podcast button with your existing RSS feed to claim it instead.
If a past producer's address is in the feed, the email goes to them. Change the owner email in your host's settings to one the show owner controls, then start again.
New shows can take a few hours to appear. If it is still missing after that, or the submission fails, contact Amazon at podcasters@amazon.com.
That's normal. Amazon and your host count different things, so the numbers rarely match exactly. Compare trends over time rather than exact totals.
There's no confirmed team invite feature. Don't share the password. Have the show owner share screenshots of the stats on a regular schedule instead.
Questions
How do I add my podcast to Amazon Music?
Go to podcasters.amazon.com, click Add or Claim Your Podcast, sign in with Amazon, paste your RSS feed and confirm the email. Make sure your email is visible in the feed first, because that is where Amazon sends the verification link.
Can I add team members to Amazon Music for Podcasters?
Amazon Music for Podcasters does not appear to offer a team member or user invite feature. Keep the login with the show owner, never share the password, and share screenshots of the stats with your producer or agency instead.
Does my podcast host send my show to Amazon Music for me?
Many podcast hosts can list your show on Amazon Music for you. Check your host's directories or distribution settings first. You can still claim the show afterwards on Amazon Music for Podcasters to see its dashboard.
How long does it take for my show to appear on Amazon Music?
New shows can take a few hours to appear on Amazon Music. If you claim a show that is already listed, you usually get dashboard access straight away after confirming the verification email.
Who do I contact if my Amazon Music submission fails?
Email Amazon Music for Podcasters at podcasters@amazon.com. Include your show name and RSS feed URL so they can find your submission quickly.
