Red House Productions | Episode 15: “How I Landed a Paid Podcast Sponsor with Just 500 Monthly Downloads”

Think you need thousands of downloads to land a podcast sponsor? Think again.

In today’s episode, Heidi and Eric share a behind-the-scenes story from their early podcasting days—how they landed their very first paid sponsor for Flute 360 with just 500 monthly downloads.

They walk you through the real, unfiltered journey of building relationships, taking bold steps, and learning through action.

If you’ve ever wondered if your show is “big enough” or “ready” for sponsorship, this candid conversation will challenge that mindset and help you see what’s truly possible.

You’ll hear:

• What they got right in their early pitch
• How a single email opened the door to long-term partnerships
• The value of showing up with curiosity instead of perfection
• How to approach sponsorships as people-first collaborations

This isn’t just a story. It’s your roadmap to get started today!
