Getting Your Show in Spotify

Quick Daily Podcasting Tips by Alitu

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about getting listed in Spotify. Spotify is hot on the heels of Apple when it comes to global podcast consumption. You’ll definitely want to get your show listed here. And, it’s even easier than submitting to their fruit-loving rivals. Most hosting providers have simple one-click “submit to Spotify” buttons in their distribution sections. What’s more, some of our recently launched shows have appeared on Spotify less than an hour after submitting. You can easily submit manually, too, if your host doesn’t have a one-click button. Just copy your RSS feed link, go to http://podcasters.spotify.com and paste it to the ‘Add a Podcast’ section. The novel thing about the Spotify podcasters portal is that you’ll see some data on what music your listeners tend to enjoy. Can you imagine the irony of your death metal podcast throwing up “favourite artists” like The Cheeky Girls and S Club 7? By the way - if that happens to you, please let us know!
