I’m always a fan to maximize my content across different networks and this is just another idea on how to make more use of your podcast episodes. If you need to download the audio of these clips afterward, you can use an Insta audio download converter like this one. So basically I uploaded the teasers first and then followed the Spotify process from above on the last story to give people an opportunity to listen to the rest. Here’s how I did that on a recent guest appearance.
Podcast teasers in Instagram StoriesĪnother idea on how to use this functionality even further is to post a couple of teasers before linking to the Spotify version. There, viewers can click to listen as well.Īdditionally, you can also now add a link to a landing page or the Spotify version by using the add a link function which is available for everyone. If you have Facebook Stories sharing enabled it also pushes to your Facebook account.
If you share all your podcast Instagram Stories – which I would recommend – consider adding them as an Instagram Story highlights tap as well. It’s definitely another distribution channel that I will keep playing with to get my podcast in front of even more potential listeners. Once clicked you are prompted to go to Spotify. Maybe consider putting a pointing arrow toward that area so it’s not as easy to miss. There’s no audio until people click “Play in Spotify” but you can add animations as with all IG Stories.įor users to listen they have to click on the small Spotify tag in the top left. It simply copies over to IG Stories as a story. Just like you would for any network to share click Instagram Story. General rule: Can’t find something online, look for the three dots or the hamburger menu. Click on the three dots by the episode you want to share.
