First announced <a href=\"https:\/\/creators.spotify.com\/resources\/investor-day-2026#:~:text=Coming%20soon%3A%20Memberships\">in May<\/a>, the new Memberships subscription feature is starting to roll out in 34 regions today, allowing podcasters to offer perks including additional content, early access, bonus episodes, and reduced ads behind a paywall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Users can find Memberships on a podcast\u2019s Spotify page, with the ability to subscribe, pay, and access the exclusive benefits \u201cin just a few taps,\u201d according to Spotify. Podcast creators can set their pricing options and bundle benefits across multiple subscription tiers, and keep 90 percent of membership revenue. Spotify is providing podcasters with tools to analyze and build their Memberships audience, including targeted promotions and free trial offers, alongside community engagement features like member badges, welcome clips, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">That makes this more like a Patreon-style membership system in which fans can choose to give additional support to their favorite creators, and is distinct from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2021\/4\/27\/22404273\/spotify-podcast-subscriptions-monetize-subscriber-shows\">podcast subscription feature<\/a> that Spotify introduced in 2021.

Spotify is also making it easy for podcasters who manage their subscriptions on other services to try Memberships, allowing them to bring their paywalled content to Spotify via its <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.spotify.com\/documentation\/open-access\">Open Access feature<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/entertainment\/1013606\/spotify-podcast-memberships-paid-subscription-launch\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotify is enabling podcast creators to earn more money through the platform by providing their fans with a way to pay to access exclusive content.
