Spotify Wrapped Video Opportunity - Don't Miss This, You Will Kick Yourself

Episode 854 - Spotify Wrapped Video Opportunity - Don't Miss This, You Will Kick Yourself Spotify Wrapped Video: A Free Way to Thank Your Podcast Audience Dave urges podcasters to take advantage of Spotify’s year-end Wrapped opportunity by recording a short thank-you video for listeners. The message is simple: make the video today, upload it to Spotify for Creators, and use it to strengthen the connection with the people who already follow your show. He also thanks David Lomax for sponsoring the podcast through Buy Me a Coffee and reminds listeners that guests can become loyal audience members. Why Spotify Wrapped Matters Spotify Wrapped gives listeners a year-end recap of their music, podcasts, listening time, and favorite shows. For podcasters, Spotify offers a chance to place a personal video message inside that recap. When a listener shares their Wrapped on social media, that video can introduce the podcast to new potential listeners. Dave sees this as a rare visibility opportunity. A listener’s friends may see the podcaster’s face, hear the show name, and decide to check it out because someone they trust follows it. How to Create the Video The video must be vertical, under 30 seconds, and recorded without music, filters, brand logos, or swearing. Spotify specifically encourages a simple phone recording, face to camera, with no AI-generated content. Dave suggests keeping it natural and unscripted. Thank followers for supporting the show, mention the podcast name, and express excitement for the year ahead. Perfection is not the goal. A genuine message from the host matters more than polished production. Claim Your Show on Spotify Podcasters do not need to host their show on Spotify to participate. Whether the podcast is hosted through Buzzsprout, Captivate, or another platform, the first step is claiming the show through Spotify for Creators. Claiming the show unlocks Spotify analytics, including listening data and episode performance. It also gives hosts access to listener comments on individual episodes, creating another way to engage directly with the audience. Act Before the Deadline At the time of recording, podcasters have 16 days to submit their video. Dave pushes listeners to avoid waiting until the final day. Record the clip immediately after hearing the episode, upload it, and move on. His core message is that growth often comes from taking small, practical actions. A 30-second thank-you video can put a host in front of new people, deepen loyalty with existing followers, and show the human behind the microphone. Record a simple, vertical, under-30-second thank-you video for your Spotify listeners and upload it through Spotify for Creators before the deadline. It costs nothing, requires only a phone, and can help your podcast reach new listeners through Spotify Wrapped shares. ____ Helping Podcasters Everyday!  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://howtopodcast.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...
