sponsorAdvertise on my Spotify playlist.
You cannot sell song placement on a Spotify playlist. Pay for play raises payola concerns and breaks Spotify's rules. What you can offer is the cover art, the title and a link in the description. Screenshot your playlist, pin those spots, get your price and list it.

How to monetize your Spotify playlist
- List it. Upload a photo of your Spotify playlist, mark each spot and pick how you bill: per week, month, event or post. We set the price from reach, market and demand.
- Get requests. Brands find it in Browse and message you. Accept or decline.
- Get paid. The brand pays when you accept. You are paid after you post proof that the logo is up.
- Or run an auction. Share a link and let brands bid. Start a Spotify playlist auction.

Tips
- Never accept money to add or rank songs. Spots are cover art, title and description only.
- Read Spotify's user guidelines on playlist titles, descriptions and images before you add a sponsor.
- Match the sponsor to the mood. A running playlist suits a gym, a focus playlist suits a cafe.
Questions
Can a label or artist bid to get a song added?
No. Paying for song placement is against Spotify's rules and raises payola concerns. Only brand spots are sold here.
Will Spotify remove my playlist?
It can remove content that breaks its guidelines. Keep sponsor text short and honest.
Does the description link work?
Spotify may not make links clickable in descriptions. Use a short name or handle the sponsor is happy with.
How do brands find my Spotify playlist?
List it once. Brands browse spots by type, city and price and message you through SponsorMySpot. Your email stays private.
Who sets the price?
Our pricing engine, like a ride app. It prices each spot from what it is, how many people see it and the market you are in, and the price rises when brands are asking for that kind of spot near you. Owners pick how they bill: per week, month, event or post.
When do I get paid?
The brand pays when you accept their request. You are paid after you post proof that the logo is up. Payouts go to your bank through Stripe. The fee is 8 percent.
Can brands bid against each other instead?
Yes. Run an auction: each spot opens at your start price and any brand can take it by paying double. Cards are held, not charged, until bidding closes.
