This feature best serves the listener more than the creator and as a listener, I got a little excited about it. That shall no longer be necessary because you can now do it all on Spotify for Podcasters. Whilst advertisements have been the most popular way to make money via Spotify, now your fans can put a little change in your pocket too because Spotify is partnering with Patreon! Previously, creators were pre-announcing the Patreon episode and then posting snippets on Spotify to encourage them to go and listen. Automatically the question that Spotify will put under your description is, ‘What did you think about this episode?’ Being able to interact easily with your audience allows you to create the right content for them through their feedback and their questions. This is a great way to engage with your listeners and get feedback. You can now add a question for your audience with each episode or a poll. And to ease your mind, Spotify will automatically send the audio version of your podcast to other platforms. Remember what we said about the power of visuals, this will be great for keeping your listeners hooked on your show. The uploading process is the same as the one for audio. The video formats accepted are mp4, and mov. It is time to go visual with Spotify for Podcasters! You now have the option of uploading your episodes as just audio or video. In addition to this Spotify has introduced new features to the app and web app that help creators to market, grow and interact with their audience. This is a very exciting announcement for podcasters, features that were once only available on Anchor have now been integrated into Spotify for Podcasters, making it a one-stop-shop. They most certainly have not stopped chasing the podcasting dream as the once-known Anchor has now become Spotify for Podcasters. We have watched Spotify making significant investments in podcasting and introducing features that are beneficial to podcasters. However, in the past few years, Spotify has been making its way into the podcasting scene. When you hear the word, “Spotify”, the first thing that comes to mind is streaming music because that is what the platform has been popularly known for.
