How to Put Your Own Podcast on Spotify

With the rise of digital media, podcasts have become a popular way for creatives to share their unique voices with a global audience. If you've ever wondered how to put your own podcast on Spotify, you're in the right place. This guide will walk you through the necessary steps to get your podcast on one of the largest streaming platforms in the world.

Prepare Your Podcast

Before you can upload your podcast to Spotify, you need to ensure that you have your content ready and in the right format. Here are some crucial steps to follow:

• Ensure your audio files are of high quality, preferably in MP3 format.
• Create engaging cover art that adheres to Spotify's image guidelines (a square image with a resolution of at least 1400 x 1400 pixels).
• Gather all the necessary episode metadata, including titles, descriptions, and tags.

Choose a Podcast Hosting Platform

Spotify does not allow direct uploads, so you'll need to use a podcast hosting platform. Some popular podcast hosting platforms include SoundOn, Buzzsprout, Podbean, and Anchor. These hosts will help you manage your episodes and distribute them to Spotify as well as other streaming services.

Submit Your Podcast to Spotify

Once you have your podcast hosted on a platform, submitting it to Spotify is relatively straightforward:

1. Log in to your podcast hosting platform and navigate to the distribution section.
2. Look for Spotify in the list of available platforms and select it.
3. Follow the instructions provided by your host to submit your podcast to Spotify. This usually involves copying your podcast's RSS feed URL and submitting it to Spotify.
4. Once submitted, your podcast will be reviewed by Spotify, which can take a few days to a week.

Promote Your Podcast

After your podcast is available on Spotify, the next step is to promote it to attract listeners. Here are some effective strategies:

• Share your episodes on social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
• Leverage your email list to notify your subscribers about new episodes.
• Collaborate with other podcasters to reach new audiences.
• Include calls-to-action within your episodes for listeners to follow and share your podcast.

Add TikTok Songs to Spotify Playlists

The explosive popularity of TikTok has led to many songs gaining viral status. Adding TikTok songs to your Spotify playlists can help attract more listeners.

Find Popular TikTok Songs

To start, identify which TikTok songs are trending. You can do this by exploring TikTok’s ‘Discover’ section or following popular creators and musical trends on the app.

Add Songs to Your Playlist

Once you've identified popular TikTok songs, add them to your Spotify playlists:

1. Open Spotify and create a new playlist or use an existing one.
2. Search for the TikTok song by title or artist in the Spotify search bar.
3. Once you find the song, click on the three dots next to it and select "Add to Playlist."
4. Choose the playlist you want to add the song to.
