This guide on Spotify for podcasters will help you understand how to start a podcast on Spotify to reach new listeners<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>One platform that\u2019s quickly becoming a favorite among podcasters is Spotify. This music streaming giant is now a close second to iTunes in terms of popularity. It may have been difficult to submit shows to Spotify\u2019s beta program in the past, but perhaps due to insistent public demand, the good news is they\u2019ve finally started accommodating all podcasts. Millions of listeners (including non-Apple podcasters) go on Spotify, so it\u2019s definitely one podcast directory that you\u2019ll want to be in. Here\u2019s how you can upload\u00a0 your podcasts to Spotify and how to start a podcast on Spotify:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color: #eaeaea;\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Table of Contents:<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><a href=\"#how-to-start-a-podcast-on-spotify\">Step-By-Step Guide on How to Start A Podcast on Spotify<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#Why-Podcasters-Choose-Spotify\">Why Podcasters Choose Spotify<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#Things-to-Know-Before-Uploading-Your-Podcast-\">Things to Know Before Uploading Your Podcast\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#Spotify-for-Podcasters:-Frequently-Asked-Questions\">Spotify for Podcasters: Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But First, What Exactly is a Podcast?<\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A podcast can exist in many forms. Think of it as a regularly scheduled show you broadcast online. Podcasts can have video\/audio components and be about any subject, although most stick to a theme for the show. Most podcasts consist of a small group of hosts who discuss the current topic. Some podcasters include relevant multimedia information like sound effects or pictures too.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>How Long Should a Podcast be?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best part of a podcast is that it is entirely scalable, depending on your needs. Some episodes may be longer or shorter, and some podcasts make their episodes in seasons. Some are very short (5-10 minutes), and some are hours long. For maximum impact and reach, successful podcasters allot adequate time for editing to keep the stories exciting. If you are a new podcaster and not a household name, it\u2019s wise to keep the episodes short. Release fresh episodes frequently to attract new listeners.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>What Should You Name Your Podcast?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your podcast needs a memorable title that jumps off the screen! Choose a name that instantly connects to potential fans. The end goal is to bring in new listeners, so catchiness and clarity are the key elements. Avoid titles that are too similar to other famous names. Make your work stand out amongst the competition.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>What Equipment is Needed to Start a Podcast?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A podcast is very easy to put together at its most basic level. You\u2019ll need a microphone, a computer with audio recording software, and something to listen back on, such as speakers or headphones. Streamers may also find microphone stand, pop-filters, and additional editing software useful. One more thing is needed for a podcast \u2014 a subject you care deeply about!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2 id=\"how-to-start-a-podcast-on-spotify\"><strong>Step-By-Step Guide on How to Start A Podcast on Spotify<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-53157\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" class=\"wp-image-53157\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/shutterstock_518846434.jpg\" alt=\"female podcast listener\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/shutterstock_518846434.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/shutterstock_518846434-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Image via Shutterstock<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re new to podcasting, the first two basic steps are for you.

Next would be to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/podcast-equipment-everything-you-need-to-build-your-studio\/\">complete your podcasting gear<\/a>, record and edit your podcast using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/what-is-the-best-podcast-recording-software\/\">podcast recording software<\/a> that you are comfortable with, and complete its file details (including the metadata and cover photo) until all you have to do next is upload it onto a podcast hosting site.<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spotify is very particular about the technical details of any podcast submitted to them. Users must adhere to them or risk rejection\/removal. Luckily, these guidelines are straightforward to follow. The guidelines are:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Podcast creators must create and use a Blubrry Media Hosting account. Multiple plans with flexible pricing are available to meet your needs.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spotify requires all audio to be in ISO\/IEC 11172-3 MPEG-1 Part 3 (MP3) audio with bitrates between 96 and 320 kbps. In other words, an audio mp3 file with good quality audio. Avoid excessive noise, hiss, and hum, and make sure all dialog is clear and consistent. These techniques are required as Spotify standards but will also help to make the podcast more accessible and successful.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Published media files must be at most 200MB in size. 200MB is approximately 83 minutes at 320Kbps encoding or over 200 minutes at 128Kbps encoding.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artwork image dimensions must be at least 1400 x 1400 pixels in .JPG or .PNG format and must not exceed 3000 x 3000 pixels. It must use RGB color space, and the file size must be 0.5MB (500kb) or less.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To qualify for publishing, all podcast feeds must have a title, image, and at least one episode.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As a rule of thumb for podcasters who want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-promote-a-podcast\/\">promote their podcast<\/a> (and potentially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-make-money-podcasting\/\">make money from it<\/a>), you\u2019ll want to prepare at least three (3) podcast audio files that you can publish all at the same time. These will give your new listeners more opportunities to get to know you and your show, therefore encouraging podcast downloads and subscriptions for your show.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Choose a Podcast Hosting Company<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once your podcasts are all ready for upload, the next step is to decide where you want your podcast hosted. There are many widely-used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/what-are-the-best-podcast-platforms\/\">podcast hosting services<\/a> like Libsyn, Buzzsprout, Blubrry, and PodBean.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The best way to decide which one is for you is to do more research about them and what they offer, especially since not all of them are free. However, you may want to think about your long-term needs (like storage capacity and usability) before deciding on the cheapest possible option.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Also, most apps\/sites like Spotify don\u2019t actually store podcast files. Hosts do, and they will let you notify multiple podcast players with just a few clicks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Submit Your Podcast Through Your Host<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Instead of submitting your RSS feed to Spotify as you would typically be told to do with other directories, they now allow you to add podcasts to Spotify through your chosen host.

Make this a regular practice for every show you publish and reap the benefits of having a much wider audience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_82687\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82687\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-82687\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/podcast-iphone-spotify-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"spotify podcasting app on iphone\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/podcast-iphone-spotify-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/podcast-iphone-spotify-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/podcast-iphone-spotify.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-82687\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Eddie Pipocas on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<h2><b>How to Monetize Your Podcast on Spotify<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p>One of the easiest ways to monetize a podcast on Spotify is to ask for donations during your podcast. Even a method as simple as a PayPal account will work, or you set up a Patreon or any number of other similar services.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Depending on your podcast and listeners, you may be able to offer separate, \u201cpremium\u201d content in addition to your normal podcast, or put your older content behind a paywall. As your listenership grows, you may find advertising and sponsorship opportunities, either directly or via an advertising network. You can then work on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-get-podcast-sponsors\/\">how to get podcast sponsors<\/a> to add to your revenue. You can also sell merch, like T-shirts and hats, related to your podcast.<b><\/b><\/p>\r\n<p>But you can turn your podcast into an income stream in several ways. Monetization techniques may differ depending on your subject and audience, so experimenting can help produce better results. Here\u2019s a list of great places to start:<\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Corporate Sponsorships<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are a wonderful way to reach a larger audience. The sponsorship can include money for advertising, promotional and supplemental materials, assistance with gear and setups, or even just money paid directly to you as profit. This support is fantastic if you can get them. Still, they may require some time to build up.\u00a0 Companies want to know where their investments are going and what they can realistically expect in return. Reach out to the companies that are a natural fit based on your theme. Accentuate how you will help them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Create a Social Media Platform for the Podcast<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media is the best way to garner new fans and create a community that reliably supports and promotes your podcast. Frequent and consistent posts are essential, but connecting and engaging with potential listeners at every opportunity is vital. Regularly comment on similar profiles to raise brand awareness and develop meaningful relationships.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Offer Premium Content<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create your podcast as you always would, but save unique, more detailed information for superfans. These exclusive materials can include goodies like artwork and customized content, and even one-on-one time. Keep the number of packages offered on the smaller side to make it easy for any fan to support you.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Use Affiliate Links and Content<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This technique is a great place to start, with a low barrier to entry and ease of setup. Partner with retail and sales companies in your field and send your fans there in return for a percentage of the sales. Many larger companies will already have a framework in place for this. Be open and honest about the partnerships, and choose companies you like and believe in.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Why-Podcasters-Choose-Spotify\">Why Podcasters Choose Spotify<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here are some of the top reasons why many podcasters choose Spotify over other streaming services. You\u2019ll also find a few benefits you may not have considered for joining a streaming service like Spotify. If you&#8217;re learning how to start a podcast on Spotify, these are reasons to choose this platform:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spotify\u2019s massive user base<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Because Spotify already has millions of users, you\u2019re essentially tapping into an existing audience that\u2019s looking for content like yours. In the past two years, podcast listening on the platform has increased by 200%. Few other streaming services can boast that kind of listenership.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Spotify has nearly 300 million listeners distributed across 92 markets around the world. Those listeners regularly search the platform for interesting new podcasts to check out and enjoy. Why not make use of Spotify\u2019s successful marketing to grow your own audience organically?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seamless integration of multiple platforms<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Other streaming services, like Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts, specifically target limited audiences based on their allegiance to Android or iOS devices. While other streaming services are constantly emerging from companies like Amazon, Spotify is a universal platform that listeners can access regardless of the device they own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you want your episodes to be available to podcast listeners on their phones, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Computers\/iPads-and-Tablets\/Tablets\">tablets<\/a>, computers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Computers\/Gaming\/Console-Gaming\">gaming consoles<\/a>, smart TVs, and home smart devices, then Spotify is the quickest, best integrated option for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helpful audience insights and analytics for podcasters<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For many podcast creators, targeting their ideal audiences is very hit or miss. You may find yourself struggling to reach the podcast listeners you\u2019re targeting. Regardless of your intentions or demographic goals, you need an accurate snapshot of your podcast audience if you\u2019re going to work with advertisers so you can make money via sponsorship.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Demographics<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Spotify collects demographic information and pays attention to your audience\u2019s music streaming and podcast listening habits, so you can track your audience as it grows. With Spotify, you\u2019ll be able to track age, self-reported gender, and other information that will help you engage more directly with your audience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Listener feedback<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Spotify also measures listeners by stars and streams, so you\u2019ll know how many listeners clicked on your episodes and started listening. You\u2019ll also get a sense for the number of listeners who stuck around for longer than a minute.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Analytics<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Analytics data is updated daily, so it\u2019s easy to see how your listeners are responding to your new episodes and bonus content. When one of your episodes makes a big splash, you can craft more content designed to keep those listeners happy. If an episode is less successful, you can pivot and adjust to learn and improve.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For easier internal tracking and for sharing audience data like podcast subscriptions with potential sponsors, you can download your data directly from Spotify as a .CSV file.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Playlists and other audience growth tools<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It can be difficult to grow an audience for your new podcast. Fortunately, Spotify has a vested interest in helping listeners find your content, so your podcast can grow and thrive. If you choose to list your podcast on Spotify, you can directly benefit from daily playlists, new episode announcements, podcast directories, and other useful referral sources.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Spotify manages several referral lists and listening charts to help listeners find great content. The list of \u201cTop Podcasts\u201d shows the top 200 podcasts in each country location, \u201cTop Episodes\u201d shows the top 200 episodes as determined by audience size and rate of growth, and \u201cTop Podcasts by Category\u201d displays the top 50 podcasts within each category of content.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Before you know it, you\u2019ll have an established audience for your very own podcast.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus features and tools to help you succeed<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Spotify regularly offers useful content to help podcasters improve their workflows and achieve success. If you\u2019re just getting started and you\u2019re not sure how to record, edit, or host your podcast, these helpful tips and useful software recommendations will make a big difference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-82686\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/podcaster-recording-audio-microphone-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"man recording podcast with headphones and microphone\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/podcaster-recording-audio-microphone-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/podcaster-recording-audio-microphone-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/podcaster-recording-audio-microphone.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Photo by Jeremy Enns on Unsplash<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Things-to-Know-Before-Uploading-Your-Podcast-\"><strong>Things to Know Before Uploading Your Podcast\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Understandably, you can\u2019t upload your podcast to Spotify if it contains any copyrighted material that you are not licensed to use. Before submitting your podcasts, make sure to read up on what \u201cpodsafe\u201d means to ensure that your show follows these guidelines.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Keep in mind that being podsafe mostly pertains to music, but you should also take care to avoid using copyrighted images for your cover art. If you can\u2019t use your own images, make sure to use Creative Commons material, or just purchase available stock photos or artwork online.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Bonus tip: Some podcast hosting sites provide you with a directory of podsafe music (like Blubrry), but there are many other sources online where you can find free-to-use tunes for your show\u2014just do a search for \u201cCreative Commons\u201d or \u201cRoyalty-Free\u201d music.<\/p>\r\n<h3><b>Other Podcast Platforms<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A hosting service will store your audio, publish it to the general public, and provide analytics detailing your podcast\u2019s performance. While Spotify has a more extensive reach than most hosting sites, some podcasters may wish to go with a different venue for various reasons. Streamers can go deep into research mode to find the best place for them. Some great places to start are Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Buzzsprout, and Stitcher. Look at storage options, subscription costs, customized domain names, and analytics that best fit your needs. Most hosting companies offer multiple tiers to help podcasters get started and expand when ready.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-82685\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/headphones-microphone-podcasting-setup-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"microphone and headphones for podcasting\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/headphones-microphone-podcasting-setup-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/headphones-microphone-podcasting-setup-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/headphones-microphone-podcasting-setup.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Photo by Jonathan Farber on Unsplash<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Spotify-for-Podcasters:-Frequently-Asked-Questions\">Spotify for Podcasters: Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is Spotify Free for Podcasts?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Spotify will include your podcast for free using the above steps. In this way it\u2019s similar to other podcasting apps and websites. You\u2019ll still need a podcast host, of course, but there are free options for those as well. You even get access to listener totals, demographics, and other analytics.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Spotify is also free for listeners. Anyone with a free Spotify account can listen to podcasts. However, they\u2019ll need a Premium account to download podcasts for offline listening, just like with songs and albums.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is Spotify Better than iTunes?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>iTunes, or specifically now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-get-your-podcast-on-itunes\/\">Apple Podcasts<\/a>, is the largest podcast provider by far. It\u2019s not that it\u2019s necessarily better than Spotify or any other platform, but any podcaster should consider including their podcast on both services, and Google Podcasts, too. It\u2019s free to do so, and it will put your podcast in the ears of more people.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There is likely very little overlap between those who listen to podcasts on Apple iTunes\/Podcasts and those who listen on Spotify or other services. Many hosting services make it easy to push your podcasts to multiple apps at once.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Started with Spotify<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to access Spotify\u2019s robust international audience so you can grow your podcast and access listeners who have been searching for shows like yours, it\u2019s easy to sign up.
