Monetization

The first step is to get your podcast up to Spotify For Podcasters monetization code. You can view that in the “money” tab online you in the app. Once you have we recommend you set up a Cash App or Step account, both of which you can set up if your over 13 with an adults help. They are also 100% free. Once set up follow Spotify for Podcaster’s steps to create a Stripe account. If you’re under 18 you will need your parents information, including their ID and Social Security Number. You MUST ask them before you do this or have them do this, do not use their id/ssn without permission. Once this is complete, it will take a few weeks or even months to get your first add, then make $10. Then you can cash out!’s’re

Engagement

To keep your episodes engaging, try using background music and avoiding words like “umm” “err” “hmm” “uhh”. Make sure to always have something to talk about, it may help to have bullet points written out so you have a mild plan. Sometimes it also helps to keep the main point of the episode towards the end, like if you were comparing tacos v pizza, keep which one you think is better towards the end of the episode. If you want, try to include special guests to peak your listeners interest!

Our advice

From experienced podcasters

Digital footprint

It’s important for anyone under 18 that has a podcast to remember, that what you say and do could be heard by millions and remembered by thousands. So for example, don’t share sensitive information like “my to nails are big” (we know it’s a funny example), because even if you delete the episode, hundreds of people may still make fun of you.

Audio quality

Although It’s easy to record a podcast with your phone or tablet, the audio quality isn’t amazing. But that’s ok, if your just starting Spotify For Podcasters has an audio enhancement feature for noise reduction! Also remember to record in a quiet place with minimal background noise. Having good audio quality can make your podcast way better!

Quality over quantity
