Ash and Kane talk about Spotify and their recent updates. They also discuss topics from the recent interview with Courtney Reimer [ https://omny.fm/shows/the-podcaster-s-podcast/161-tpp-v2 ] including the impact Spotify has had on the podcasting space.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- If you don’t have a big budget, Spotify recommends the same tactics as Ash and Kane, starting with collaborations!
- Spotify’s original strategy was to get noticed and they spent a lot to do this. They are now focusing more on ROI and you can see this by the lack of exclusive contracts they now have.
- Most casual listeners do so on Spotify, yet the Apple chart seems to be the holy grail and generally around 80% of downloads come from apple.
- Micro-influencers and podcasters are becoming the focus for sponsors and ad deals. They are moving away from big names and big followings.
BEST MOMENTS
“To an extent, it was just a testing phase”
“In 10 years they will have paid him [Joe Rogan] half a billion dollars”
“It’s a clear representation of them going from I want everyone to know who I am to I want to make some money”
