Spreaker’s All New Revenue Sharing Program

Aug 14, 2017 / By / 3 Comments

How Full Control of Ad Injection is Revolutionizing Podcast Monetization

Great content has real value: your engagement with your audience is precious. The more you feel empowered and in control of the true value of your podcast, the more you will be able to really give to it and make it thrive. That’s why feeling fully in control of the way your podcast monetizes is important.

Savvy advertisers are already on to the phenomenal potential of audio content and are investing, big time. But there may remain a lingering concern that by accepting ads, you might be ‘handing over reins’ of your episode structure to advertisers. And what kind of money is there to be made, given the potential compromise?

Here at Spreaker, we resolutely believe that you CAN make your podcast steadily and seriously fruitful money-wise, while also keeping full control over your episodes. Earlier this year, we launched our Revenue Sharing program, allowing podcasters to earn money for every listen or impression. We are now delighted to announce that the program has graduated from its beta version, into a fully fledged sophisticated ad revenue system.

On the contrary, a picture exemplifies the richness of your content and those thousands of words. Here’s how to start embracing image use in your podcast.

Why Podcasting Should Be a Part of Your Content Marketing Strategy

Feb 23, 2017 / By / No Comment

Think about it: when you hear a good story or conversation, it sticks with you much longer than a Facebook post you glanced at does. This is because we engage with audio in a different way than we do with written content.

As Emma Rodero, a professor at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, told The Atlantic,

“Audio is one of the most intimate forms of media because you are constantly building your own images of the story in your mind and you’re creating your own production. And that of course, is something that you can never get with visual media.”

Audio content involves the audience in the narrative; it entices them to imagine the people, places, and situations they’re listening to. This can help your brand create a deep and meaningful connection with potential customers.

Here are five reasons why you should start podcast for your brand:

Enhance Your Story and Create More Easily Accessible Podcasts with Chapters

Dec 14, 2016 / By / 15 Comments

Ask yourself: how accessible is your podcast? Can listeners follow your story, or get through your content in one sitting? Could they more fully appreciate your podcast with extra background information or references?

Accessibility isn’t just about making sure your podcast is available on every listening platform, or blowing up people’s social network feeds. It also lies in the structure of your content, how well you tell your story, and the marketing strategies you use to hook listeners in; your podcast needs to be easy to consume for listeners.

Spreaker is now giving you the ability to add chapters to your episode through our CMS. With chapters, you can delineate a clear outline of key points and favorite moments that listeners can get to easily, and create new ways to share your content.

Is 2016 the year of Podcast Advertising?

Apr 6, 2016 / By / No Comment

2016 is definitely the year of podcast advertising, especially considering our partnership with Triton Digital announced back in December. Even if it still has to scale before it becomes mainstream, big Internet brands like MailChimp and Amazon, along with plenty of startups like underwear brand Mack Weldon, have been using ads to pursue new customers through podcasts.

According to estimates from ZenithOptimedia, ad spending on podcasts in the U.S. could hit $35.1 million in 2016. That’s only 0.06 percent of all digital ad spending, but some say that estimate is low and that it could go as high as $50 million this year. – via adweek.com
