Manually by creating your own Apple Podcasts Connect account
How to Submit your Podcast to Apple Podcast with One-Click

When you use the Alitu "One-Click Submission" you are submitting your show via Alitu's connection. It is the quickest way to get your show out to the world.
However if you ever want to manage your show on Apple you will need to go through the process of "Claiming your Show".
How to Claim your Show in Apple Podcasts
To claim your show you will need to create an Apple Podcast Connects account (see below "Manually submit your show").
When you have created your Apple Podcasts account, you will be able to grab your "Claim Show" token.
Click 'Add Claim Token'.
2. Paste in your Apple token and click 'Add claim token'
Once this is done you will have claimed your show and have full control over it through the Apple Podcast Connect dashboard.
Any new episodes you publish in Alitu will still continue to be sent to Apple automatically.
