Today I'm talking about The Key to Monetizing Your Podcast in a BIG Way! and I really want you to understand why it is important for your podcast.

No matter what stage the podcasters I work with are in, it always seems like we go back to one to get clear on this particular aspect of podcasting.

The reality is that you need to niche down as tight as possible and create specific content to meet a specific need for a very specific avatar, if you want to really monetize in a big way.

Most podcasts are created for a much more generic audience than you can actually monetize in any significant way.

When I talk about The Key to Monetizing Your Podcast in a BIG Way! here's what you really need to know:

• Create content for a very specific avatar at a very specific place in their journey.
• Niche down to the place where you can give them the biggest transformation because they have the biggest pain points.
• Don't spend your time or marketing dollars on a niche that you have to educate in order to get them to take your solution.

Because it is important NOT to get stuck in "free content creation mode", you have to understand where your podcast really fits in and how to used it, otherwise you will end up wasting a lot of time.

We are entering the age of business where every company needs to build their own media company. This media company can be used to generate leads for your business.

It's easy to forget how easy we can become lazy in our businesses. It's happened to me and it's probably happened to you.

We think that once we get a funnel live that it's easy to just drive some cold traffic to it from Facebook or other ad sources and we'll have money rolling in quickly. That's not exactly how it works, and today I am sharing a cautionary tale of my FB account suspension.

I've been a model Facebook user and never had any warnings or suspensions. I've never been in Facebook jail, and I work hard to make sure I conform to all of their standards.

However, that all changed on Christmas Day, and in the last month, I've lost thousands of dollars and dozens of hours trying to get my account reinstated.

As if turns out, Facebook has non-existent support. It's super frustration, and I'm sharing my story so you don't get blindsided like I did.

It's hard to describe an irresistible offer. I think we all know one when we see one, but it's not easy to quantify or even easy to articulate in a training scenario.

Today, I'm sharing with you 3 steps that you can take with your offer to make it virtually irresistible. Once you put this lens over your offer, it becomes pretty easy to spot where it may fall short.

You will want to take notes and make these 3 steps part of your standard framework for creating an offer.

Frameworks are so much more than just a buzzword. They are they system for the success that you can get for your clients. It's very important to have your frameworks documented because it gives you the repeatable pathway that you can then walk each of your clients through and get the predicted outcome.

I talk to so many podcasters each and every week who haven't clearly defined their framework for how they get success for their clients. The better we can articulate what you can do for your clients and how you get them there, the more predictable the outcomes become that you get for your clients.

The best way for you to document your framework is to walk through your processes.

If a client came to you today and said, "I will pay you $10K to get me XYZ desired outcome!" What is the first thing you would do to help them?

Nail that down. Put it in writing. It is now step 1 of your framework.

So what happens after step 1 is achieved or accomplished?

Figure out that next logical step they would need to take in the process. Document that - it is step 2 of your framework.

Now, after your client gets step 2 under their belt, what's next? Figure it out and make that step 3 of your framework.

Keep doing this through each step of the process until you get them successfully to the desired outcome you are working with them to achieve.

Now, you have documented all the steps of your framework and you can begin teaching it. You can begin getting success with your framework. You can begin collecting testimonials for the effectiveness of your framework.

If you need help figuring out what your framework is, you should sign up for the Podcast Profit Challenge. We do it every month and I'm having so much fun helping podcasters get monetized. You can join here.

I'm on a mission to monetize 100 podcasts in 2022. It's a tall order, but I'm not going to let anyone stop me. Since I work with podcasters on monetizing their podcasts, I'm constantly seeing a deficit in a critical area that needs to be addressed before you even start the process of monetization.

I'm talking about getting crystal clear on who you serve and how you serve them. And, I'm talking about a very specific way you serve them, there is no room for anything generic here!

The more clarity you have about the ONE ideal customer you will serve and WHAT result you will get for them, then everything else becomes a piece of cake!

Before you can even begin to think about monetizing your podcast, you need to figure out what you are going to sell to your audience. The secret to being able to build a program you can sell to your audience is having a framework that you teach.

A framework is your methodology to teach someone a specific thing that will help them get amazing results. Your offer depends on having a great framework.

But how do you come up with a framework?

Believe it or not, you have a framework that you already use for almost everything in life. You just didn't realize that your habits are a framework. Think about the steps you take to brush your teeth. You go through the same steps each day, in the same order and get the same result, but those steps are your framework.

The better you get at recognizing frameworks, the easier it will be for you to create frameworks for your teaching.

Most people begin with a framework that they learned from someone else and they put it into practice. Then they begin to tweak the framework to fit their specific needs. Once they tweak the framework and then validate the results, now you are getting somewhere.

In this episode, Christy will show you how to build your framework for success.

When I look at people that succeed online and in the podcasting world and those who don't, there is a stark difference in the tactics and execution of those who succeed and those who don't.

This game isn't easy, but it's definitely achievable if you utilize the tried and true tactics for success. If you haven't already grown a thick skin, it will be required on your success journey.

Most podcasters that are failing at monetization are doing so because they have not embraced failing multiple times before success comes.

There is no glory in failing, but it is a necessary part of the process.

When you make any offer, it is just a starting point.

When you officially launch an offer, you begin collecting feedback on the offer and based on that feedback you tweak and change the offer to make it more successful.

You will always fail if you make one offer one time. I can guarantee you there is a 90% chance you will never succeed if that is all you ever do.

To be successful, you have to be committed to the process of making offers. You've got to keep trying until you find the right formula that will make your offer a success.

As podcasters, the simple truth is we aren't making enough offers.

Here's how the typical podcast offer scenario plays out:

1) The podcaster feels insecure and uncomfortable putting out an offer.

2) The podcaster puts out an offer and mentions it one time on their podcast.

3) No one accepts the offer they put out.

4) The podcaster has now confirmed their belief that offers don't work.

5) The podcaster then chases other ways to monetize their podcast.

6) Eventually, the podcaster realizes that it's too hard to monetize a podcast and walks away.

#Podfade complete.

We've gotta be making more offers for so many reasons. This episode covers all the reasons why!

Here's another episode that may help you!

It seems like it should be so easy to monetize a podcast when you are an expert in a certain niche. But, what do you do when you aren't an expert and when you don't have enough downloads to get sponsorships?

There is still a path to monetization with your own products and services. It's not any harder to monetize your podcast if you aren't an expert, but you just have to think about it differently.

Making money takes different forms when you aren't an expert, and you need to know what your options are.

In this episode, Christy breaks down the 2 paths to make money with podcasts, outside of sponsorship.
