SPOTIFY WANT TO PAY YOU TO HAVE A PODCAST

Hey Pod Schoolers, Happy Saturday.

I stumbled across a brilliant interview this week with the CEO of Spotify - these lot are coming for Apple Podcast and YouTube's lunch!

Even if you don't want to run ads or sponsorships for your podcast, if you are setup on Spotify For Creators they are going to let you take a revenue share from their Spotify Premium members. They have NOT given details on the specifics yet but - for me - they are realising that podcasters are bringing as much value to the platform as music makers and they are going to let the likes of us share in the pie.

It will be exciting to see what they have planned when they come out with some more specifics, but as an overview, this is going to be interesting for ALL content makers.

Also, if you listen to Daniel Ek's language, you can hear that Spotify are definitely morphing away from being amsic platform into a hub for creators overall with music, podcasts, audio books and they are even beta-testing courses for UK creators too.

Me and

@Alex Chisnall

chatted about this yesterday and we are going to look at putting an element of Start, Grow and Monetise training on the platform and document the process for you guys.

Anyway, if you have time during a weekend walk I thoroughly recommend you take a listen to this.

PRO members, I am actually going to do a video breakdown of what I think the biggest and fastest wins are for creators RIGHT NOW as I think jumping on to these tools during beta-phase is going to e super valuable.
