After two years of work, I can FINALLY announce my newest project with @StevenBartlett: @Flightcast_
Upload video podcasts to YouTube & Spotify + Audio everywhere else
Get all your video + audio analytics in one place
Then analyze your data with an AI assistant
In the past year, thousands of YouTubers have made millions of dollars posting their videos to Spotify.
Today, I'm launching https://t.co/vkqprMeeyR
Post your YouTube videos to Spotify, automatically, forever.
Full back catalog, full sync for new videos.
@p_millerd If you already have a podcast on Spotify that's an actual podcast, I would do your YouTube channel on a separate feed
Not really the same audience (might mess up the expectations of your podcast audience )
@TheSexHealer A lot of people end their videos with "Also I'm on Spotify now - you can watch my videos ad-free there"
A few of those helps MASSIVELY
Still an evolving meta, but that's been a major strategy
@ben_sector@iamyatendrak do we still have the full back catalog dump?
ik we found in testing that dumping back catalog to spotify functionally doesn't do much, the algo over there doesn't work the same so it isn't likely to get many streams if you drop 1000 videos
@dabidoYT 1. great shout can probably make that visible in this dashboard
2. yes!
both of these you may need to go to main flightcast ui for - there's a toggle in the top right, try that and lmk if you find your way
@iamyatendrak let's see if we can add these to the /youtubers ui as well
@k_solgren yep! auto monetized after 3 episodes no matter what country you're in, since technically flightcast (a us entity) is monetizing the channel
but you will make less $ depending on split of audience location
So:
- Take the videos you already have
- Drip feed them every 2-3 days on Spotify
- Seed the audience at first
- Get killer CPMs
Get started:

A lot of creators also end their videos with "also I'm on Spotify now check out the videos ad free if you have Spotify premium"
that seems to really work - you really won't lose any significant audience on YouTube, and whoever moves to Spotify will make you more money AND teach Spotify about your audience
