    If you mean how do you submit your existing RSS feed to the iTunes store, go to https://podcastsconnect.apple.com and log in with the ID you use for iTunes. Click the blue '+' sign at top left and enter the feed URL (not the URL of the media file). Click 'Validate' and the page will check for errors. If it passes, and you are happy with the preview you should see, click 'Submit'. iTunes does not store your media, it just uses the contents of the feed file to provide the details and access on the iTunes Store. (None of this will cost you anything).

     

    It may take some days before the podcast is accepted, since each new podcast has to be checked. You may be rejected for unauthorized use of copyright material, bad language and sexual content, libel, or racist comments - but of course you would never do any of those things, so you should be OK.

     

    When your podcast is accepted, iTunes will give you a URL which will open iTunes to your podcast. You can manage your podcast at https://podcastsconnect.apple.com

     

    If you click on your podcast on that page you will open an info page which gives you your feed URL and also a 'mirror URL' which redirects to your feed (even should you go through the process of changing its URL, see below). There is also a link to your iTunes Store page.

    You may also find it helpful to read my 'get you started' page on podcasting:

    which includes the above text, with illustrations, together with information on making your podcast in the first place.

    Thanks, but site https://podcastconnet.apple.com after sign in (apple account) says, that Podcasts Connect requires an iTunes Store account and link to https://itunes.apple.com. And where is in https://itunes.apple.com link to create itunes account? Or how can I create iTunes account? All site is about iTunes presentation to listener.

    Go to the iTunes Store within the iTunes application and sign in with your Apple ID. More details here:

     

    Create and start using an Apple ID - Apple Support

     

    If this is the first time you have done this you will be asked for a credit card (to enable you to purchase songs, movies, etc). If you enter one a small holding charge will be placed on your account to verify the card, but it will not be applied and you will not be charged. Your podcast will not cost you anything. There may be a 'none' option so you don't have to enter a card number.
