Shared by Caterina • October 30, 2024

Are you a Spreaker PRIME podcaster looking for a unique way to showcase your talent?

We have just announced an incredible opportunity for creators to put their skills to the test and gain exceptional visibility in the podcasting community!

Introducing the Spreaker CREATE Contest, a competition inviting PRIME creators to produce standout short episodes using Spreaker’s latest innovation, the Spreaker CREATE iOS tool.

🎙️ The Challenge: Creativity in Just 15 Minutes

The rules are simple yet inspiring: contestants are asked to create a podcast episode of up to 15 minutes using the new Spreaker CREATE app on iOS. The challenge here is to harness the power of Spreaker CREATE’s intuitive interface, crafting an episode that’s not only entertaining but also highlights the tool’s creative potential. Each episode must include a brief mention of Spreaker CREATE, allowing creators to show their audience the tool's exciting features.

🏆 The Prize: Prime Exposure on Spreaker’s Homepage

Here's where the stakes get interesting: the top episodes will be prominently featured on Spreaker’s homepage for an entire month! From December through the New Year, these winning episodes will be front and center, giving the creators unparalleled exposure to thousands of listeners. For podcasters looking to grow their fanbase or solidify their brand, this kind of visibility is priceless.

💫 Why You Should Join: A Perfect Platform to Stand Out

The Spreaker CREATE Contest is an open invitation to podcasters from all genres and styles. While there's no required theme, consider the timing of the contest—episodes will go live in December. This makes it the perfect opportunity to create a Christmas special or year-end reflection that will resonate with holiday audiences.

📱 How to Enter: Quick, Easy Steps to Get Started

Entering the contest couldn’t be simpler:

  • Create Your Episode – Use the Spreaker CREATE tool on iOS to produce a compelling episode within the 15-minute limit.
  • Publish on Spreaker – Once you’re happy with your episode, publish it directly to your Spreaker account.
  • Submit Your Episode – Submit the episode using the button below.

The deadline for submission is November 24, so there’s plenty of time to brainstorm, record, and polish your episode.

Shared by Andrea • April 17, 2024

🇺🇸 AdHub is our self-advertising tool, available for US users. It gives you the chance to promote your podcast with an audio ad on other targeted podcasts and be discovered by new listeners.

📣 Thanks to our dynamic advertising technology, your own promo can be automatically inserted into Spreaker’s massive catalog of podcasts and be heard by thousands of listeners regardless of the app they use.

AdHub gives you the ability to reach target listeners by allowing you to choose categories and audience interests to make sure that your audio promo is attracting the right listeners to your podcast. It also gives you the ability to track and see your results, in terms of impressions, geolocation, and categories.

If, for example, you have a podcast that specifically focuses on healthy eating and nutrition, you can upload an ad on AdHub, and specifically target podcast listeners who are interested in health & fitness. In this way, you are focusing on targeting people who not only are already podcast listeners but who are interested in your specific podcast topic. That is a good opportunity to increase listens and revenues.

🗣️ AdHub it is also the perfect tool if you want to launch a new podcast, you want to promote an event or why not your own business to people interested about that topic.

If you have doubts, you can check our dedicated section on the Help Center.

And if you would like to have this feature in your country and it is not available yet, please let us know and we will share your feedback with our team.
