009: Why I Decided To Run Ads


Listen Later

For the first time this month after six years of podcasting, you may notice something new: ads. This week I’m sharing my behind-the-business logic on “going pro,” with ads as one piece of my strategy. That way I can dedicate more time and energy to this show, creating the best possible content for all of you!

In this episode, I share why I switched to Megaphone for hosting, and how I made the decision to opt-in their ads marketplace, despite years of resisting ads in general. A big piece of that was not wanting to negatively impact your listening experience! My thoughts on host-read ads haven’t changed: I must authentically love and use that product or service in order to read or talk about something with integrity.
