Millions of Users Are Waiting for You<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify&#8217;s huge user base outshine other podcasting platforms. 678 million monthly users and <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.spotify.com\/2025-04-29\/spotify-reports-first-quarter-2025-earnings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">268 million paying subscribers<\/a>. You definitely don\u2019t want to skip this, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And especially if you\u2019re targeting US listeners, around 46 million people listen to podcasts on Spotify. It\u2019s second only to YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_You_Can_Earn_From_Your_Podcast\"><\/span>2. You Can Earn From Your Podcast<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to make money podcasting? Spotify is a good place to do it. They\u2019re paying out over $100 million this year. And in January, hundreds of podcasters earned over $10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get to <a href=\"https:\/\/support.spotify.com\/us\/creators\/article\/setting-up-subscriptions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">keep almost all your subscriber money<\/a>, only processing fees. That&#8217;s great, because Apple Podcasts takes 30% of what you make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_You_Earn_From_Every_Type_of_Listener\"><\/span>3. You Earn From Every Type of Listener<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like YouTube, Spotify helps <a href=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/how-do-podcasts-make-money\/\">podcasters make money<\/a> from their listeners, whether people pay for premium or listen for free. Free listeners hear ads, and you get a cut of that ad revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, you can earn through subscriptions or ads on free episodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Their_Discovery_Algorithm_Is_Improving\"><\/span>4. Their Discovery Algorithm Is Improving<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you join a new platform, you want to stand out, right? Spotify&#8217;s making it easier now. They&#8217;re improving their algorithm to help both new and popular shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the latest updates, recommendations are now more accurate. They use information about what users like and their locations to help your show get more exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Getting_Started_Takes_Minutes\"><\/span>5. Getting Started Takes Minutes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It wouldn&#8217;t take hours to start out a podcast on Spotify. Want to upload from your phone? Use Spotify for Creators to upload your content. Already have a podcast elsewhere? Just link your RSS feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They support all the standard file types like MP3, M4A, WAV for audio, and MOV, MPG, MP4 for video. And when you&#8217;re ready, your new episodes go live automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/how-to-write-a-podcast-script\/\">How to Write a Podcast Script<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Its_Great_for_Video_Podcasts\"><\/span>6. It&#8217;s Great for Video Podcasts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You heard it right. Spotify now supports video podcasts. And it turns out that <a href=\"https:\/\/podnews.net\/press-release\/edison-research-infinite-dial-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">48% of podcast listeners in the U.S.<\/a> are watching the video version these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Gen Z, it&#8217;s even more popular. 90% watch video podcasts sometimes. So, picking a platform that supports video like Spotify makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_They_Have_Great_Features_to_Boost_Engagement\"><\/span>7. They Have Great Features to Boost Engagement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know Spotify has threaded comments? Listeners can chat, drop emojis, and link to songs, books, or playlists in <strong>In This Episode<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also have a <strong>Following<\/strong> feed that shows all episodes from the shows you follow, all in one place. You can manage everything through Spotify for Creators to moderate and grow your community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Great_Spotify_for_Creators_App\"><\/span>8. Great Spotify for Creators App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t record directly with the Spotify for Creators app anymore, but you can still upload episodes easily from anywhere. It gives you real-time stats, and performance insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also manage comments, see how your podcast&#8217;s doing, check out popular episodes, and get chart updates, all from your phone. And the best part? It&#8217;s all free to help you grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Upload_Podcast_to_Spotify_via_Creators_App\"><\/span>How to Upload Podcast to Spotify via Creators App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the steps on how to upload podcast to Spotify. This is the most common method for new content creators on the platform:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Prepare_Your_Podcast_Episode\"><\/span>1. Prepare Your Podcast Episode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t put a podcast to Spotify without creating your content first. Why? Spotify for Creators doesn\u2019t have a built-in recorder. So you&#8217;ll need to use another <a href=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/best-podcast-software\/\">software to record your podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many options like <strong>Riverside<\/strong>, <strong>Rev<\/strong>, or <strong>Audacity<\/strong>. If you want a free, open-source program that works on any computer and records good-quality audio, Audacity can be a good option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.audacityteam.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">download Audacity<\/a> from their official website, open the program and set up your microphone. When you&#8217;re ready, click the <strong>Record<\/strong> button to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Export_Your_Podcast_File_Right\"><\/span>2.

To do this, go to <strong>File<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Export Audio<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Export to Computer<\/strong>. Then give your file a name, select MP3 as the format, and click <strong>Export<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2025\/06\/You-need-to-record-your-content-before-learn-how-to-upload-podcasts-to-Spotify-1024x641.webp\" alt=\"You need to record your content before learn how to upload podcasts to Spotify\" class=\"wp-image-11418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2025\/06\/You-need-to-record-your-content-before-learn-how-to-upload-podcasts-to-Spotify-1024x641.webp 1024w, https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2025\/06\/You-need-to-record-your-content-before-learn-how-to-upload-podcasts-to-Spotify-300x188.webp 300w, https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2025\/06\/You-need-to-record-your-content-before-learn-how-to-upload-podcasts-to-Spotify-768x481.webp 768w, https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2025\/06\/You-need-to-record-your-content-before-learn-how-to-upload-podcasts-to-Spotify-150x94.webp 150w, https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2025\/06\/You-need-to-record-your-content-before-learn-how-to-upload-podcasts-to-Spotify-450x282.webp 450w, https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2025\/06\/You-need-to-record-your-content-before-learn-how-to-upload-podcasts-to-Spotify-1200x751.webp 1200w, https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2025\/06\/You-need-to-record-your-content-before-learn-how-to-upload-podcasts-to-Spotify.webp 1308w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But, keep in mind that Spotify now supports both audio and <a href=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/what-is-a-vodcast\/\">video podcasts<\/a>.

Now, let\u2019s explore some tips to make the process even smoother:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keep audio file metadata minimal<\/strong> \u2014 Keep your audio file info simple when uploading to Spotify. Use small images (under 500 KB) and stick to just the basics, like title, artist, and album.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prioritize MP3<\/strong> \u2014 You can upload other audio formats to Spotify, but MP3 or AAC work best. They maintain good sound quality and have smaller file sizes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Normalize loudness before upload<\/strong> \u2014 Set it around -16 LUFS for stereo episodes. This keeps the volume even and comfortable since Spotify adjusts loudness during playback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make titles mobile-friendly<\/strong> \u2014 Keep them short, around 20 characters. Longer titles get cut off on phones, hiding key information behind ellipses. So, put your main keywords at the start.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check the email you use<\/strong> \u2014 It&#8217;s best to use the same email for Spotify and your hosting platform, even if you can use different ones, to avoid problems with verification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use Host Recommendations feature<\/strong> \u2014 Spotify&#8217;s feature lets you suggest music, audiobooks, or podcasts on your show page. Use it to engage listeners and boost your episode&#8217;s visibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t fade the Best Place to Start<\/strong> \u2014 It\u2019s a great way for new listeners to get into your show without jumping straight to the latest episode. Just pick a clear, easy episode to hook them in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check your upload after 24 hours<\/strong> \u2014 Spotify usually updates episodes within a few hours. If it takes more than a day, there might be problems with your RSS feed, hosting server, or login.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Understand video podcast requirements<\/strong> \u2014 Your content should be less than 12 hours long and have only one video and one audio track. Remember this when you upload podcast to Spotify.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upload_Podcast_to_Spotify_A_Wrap-Up\"><\/span>Upload Podcast to Spotify: A Wrap-Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations!
