As
you all know, Spotify is the biggest Music streaming platform right now
in the world. And from recent time-period after making some really big
deals, Spotify clears it all ambitions that this big giant want to take
over the Podcasting world.
In this article we're going to cover some major questions that may be you're thinking right now, and the questions are:-
- Which big deals did Spotify made ?
- How Spotify is the king of Podcasting world ?
Which big deals did Spotify made ?
In recent time-period Spotify made the biggest deal with the super-hit "The Joe Rogan Experience" show. This show will be exclusive on Spotify and airing from the month of September. "The Joe Rogan Experience" will be free on Spotify. It means
this show don't require any additional kind of premium membership, even
without membership you can watch this show. Spotify will jointly sell
the ads for Rogan's show, so free users will hear those ads, plus any
additional ads that run in the course of using Spotify platform.
This year Spotify acquired "The Ringer and Bill Simmons" for around $ 196 million and "The Rogan Experience" for approximately of more than $ 100 million.
How Spotify is the king of Podcasting world
Spotify
is spending lots of money to lock-down Podcast industry's top-rated
content to its side. Spending lots of money in this industry clearly
illustrating that Spotify sees massive opportunities in Podcasting.
Now
you're bit curious that how Spotify earns with this Podcasting kind of
thing. Whenever some user play a song on Spotify, it has to pay the
record label for that listen. And whenever user play the podcast, the
company doesn't have to pay a third party. With special deals and its
making money because of ads its places.
Spotify
place ads by come programming and this require collecting of users
personal data so this is why Apple is out of the race because Apple
don't use users personal info for sake of advertisement. But if still
Apple wants to compete with Spotify it needs some big top rated show
that can bring users on their podcast. We're considering Apple here
because Apple is also a big giant in this Podcast industry.
According to The Verge "Spotify
has also created new tech for generating playlists and inserting ads.
It algorithmically generates podcast playlists and has launched its own
advertising tool called Streaming Ad Insertion that lets targeted ads be
placed into shows as people stream them, which, again, relies on that
critical user data."
Now these action made
him the king of Podcasting world. Spotify wants to take over the
podcasting world so that he can made his own rule and every other
podcasting company have to follow those rules to remain in the race.
