There&#8217;s nothing like getting your show featured by a popular podcast listening app.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You get to show off your podcast in the most coveted space, among prominent shows from major networks &amp; publishers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s an effective way to attract thousands of potential listeners, something that&#8217;d otherwise take you months.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is how many podcast listeners discover their new favorite shows, making it a sure way for creators to grow their audience.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get your show up among those big podcasts, you&#8217;ll have to submit a pitch.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most streaming platforms have a dedicated team of editors who carefully review all the pitches. It&#8217;s easy to get lost in the sea of other applicants with an already growing audience trying to bag that spot, so it&#8217;s important that your pitch comes out compelling, precise, and succinct.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understand_what_they_need\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understand what they need<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most platforms accept submissions through forms that list the eligibility criteria and requirements. Make sure to go through these carefully and prepare yourself well before applying.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, some platforms ask for a minimum audience size or a certain number of episodes published. In case you don&#8217;t meet these conditions, you might want to wait until you do.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the submission form, you may have to provide the podcast artwork if you are looking at getting featured on a banner or a carousel.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So read the form carefully before submission and make sure you have everything you need.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_your_pitch_compelling_relevant\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make your pitch compelling &amp; relevant<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are going to tell the editors how great your podcast is, then hold back. The question is not how good your podcast is but rather how it fits the featured spot you are applying for, how it is relevant, and why it would be engaging to the listeners.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where you provide context on what your podcast is about and how it stands out from the rest of the shows. Focus on what&#8217;s notable about your podcast &#8211; it could be the guests, the purpose of the show, or the timely theme.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if you are submitting a cricket podcast during the IPL season, then it&#8217;s wise to highlight the relevancy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you don&#8217;t have a podcast related to any tropical event, you can emphasize the core of your podcast that makes it different from other shows.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_and_how_to_pitch_your_show_to_get_your_podcast_featured_on_listening_apps\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where and how to pitch your show<\/span> to get your podcast featured on listening apps<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apple_Podcasts\"><\/span><b>Apple Podcasts<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple Podcasts is definitely the first place you&#8217;d want to start with.

You&#8217;ll be asked to fill in the basic details of your show, how you plan on marketing it, artwork, and more.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When laying out your marketing plan, make sure to use these pro tips &#8211; tag @ApplePodcasts, use your Apple Podcasts URL and use the official &#8220;Listen on Apple Podcasts&#8221; badges.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the artwork, use Adobe Photoshop to design your marketing creatives, as Apple currently only accepts Layered PSD files.

The platform doesn&#8217;t have an algorithm you can crack or a form you can fill out.
