Spotify helps podcasters deepen their connection with their audience via the comments and polls section. Sounds great, right? But how does a Spotify podcast look with comments and polls? Is the music app turning into social media? You will get answers to these questions with the official launch of this feature, which is expected to be in the upcoming month.
Comments and polls on Spotify podcasts are still ongoing experiments to test the engagement of podcasters and listeners. However, Spotify is being extra careful and making sure that this new feature is fun and safe for Spotify users.
Podcasters can be selective about showing comments on their episodes and have access to turn on/off the comments for their shows.
The podcasters and the listeners can interact via comments rather than questions and answers. As of now, Spotify podcasters will post a question for which the audience answers. However, the Q&A acts as a one-sided conversation.
To increase audience engagement, Spotify has opened a comments section that allows listeners to post their thoughts on their favorite shows. This feature excites both the podcasters and the listeners, who long to interact with their favorite podcasters.
For the Podcasters Attention
Comments are the best way to get to know your listeners. This is a great tactic to build interest in your show by shaping the content using the feedback of the listeners. Also, remember to leave a call to action in your episodes so that the audience understands that you are looking forward to their feedback or a talk.
This is an effective way to know that your listeners are a group of individuals with different expectations and insights. You can view your audience’s comments and polls and control the transparency of your audience’s response from the Comments section on the app or website.
What are the Uses of Polls?
Do you want quick feedback from your listeners? Use polls to decide what to post next based on what your audience needs the most. This is a single-tab response from your audience. This will help you determine whether your personal excitements and your audience’s personal excitements overlap.
Everyone was overwhelmed with this new feature on Spotify. Let us look forward to the reach of the comments and polls on Spotify Podcasts.
