  • Can Only Promoting Apple Podcasts Grow Your Show? Let's Find Out Together!

    One of the most common calls to action is “leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.” I’ve long railed against this CTA, stating that you’re alienating a large portion of the audience.

    But what if this approach is wrong? That's what we'll explore today.

  • The WRONG Way to Make Money with Your Podcast

    You want a sure-fire way to betray trust in your podcast? Invite a guest on just to ambush them with a sales pitch of your own services. Sounds farfetched, but it's happened to me 3 times in the last 6 weeks!

    Friendly Reminder: Your podcast guests are not part of your sales funnel. Not even close.

    Let's look at how this tactic works, why it's wrong, what to do instead, and how to prevent it from happening to you.

  • Why You Should Start a Mini Podcast (and how it can make money)

    There's a reason lots of podcasters fall victim to podfade. Podcasting can be a difficult thing to do, especially if you are doing long episodes with guests. But recently over on The Podcast Host, they wrote an article about how Mini Podcasting is on the rise.

    I shared this article with my newsletter and it's one of the most clicked on links in the history of my newsletter. Lots of people are interested in Mini Podcasting and for good reason. So today, we'll look at what mini podcasting is, why it works, how to start one, and of-course, how to make money with it.

  • 3 Solid Ways to Find Your First Sponsors

    Sponsorship is the main monetization goal for a lot of podcasters, but there are often some misconceptions around how it happens. You might think that you don’t have enough downloads to get sponsors. Or that once you *do* get enough downloads, brands will magically start reaching out to you. You might assume that you need an “in” with any company to get a brand deal.

    I’m here to tell you: you don’t need a ton of downloads, brands will not just reach out to you, and you don’t need an in! So how do you find potential sponsors for your podcast? We'll talk about 3 ways:

    1. Tapping your network and connections 2. Reaching out companies where you're already using their products. 3. Finding sponsors of similar podcasts.

  • 3 Questions You NEED to Answer to Have a Profitable Podcast (Show's Mission Statement)

    Your show's mission statement is more than just some words on a page. It should determine the direction of your show, the format, who you're talking to, and ultimately how it will make money. Much like a map (well, Google Maps) when you're going to a new destination, your mission statement will guide your podcast from losing money to generating enough income to support your business.

    The framework for your mission statement is this: My podcast helps [AUDIENCE] solve [PROBLEM] by [GOAL OF EACH EPISODE]. Listen on to get the prompts to help you craft the perfect mission statement for finding sponsors and selling products.

  • Build Podcast Systems That Keep You Consistent Without Burnout

    Recently on Twitter, I asked a series of questions about podcasting, the challenges, and what would make it easier. The conclusion I came to based on the answers was consistency is the biggest pitfall for podcasters (or would-be podcasters).

    As someone who puts out 3 weekly shows, I totally get that. Podcasting can be a grind, which is why 75% of shows don’t make it past 7 episodes. So this week, I decided to put together some of my best tips to avoid the dreaded podfade and be consistent.

  • Should Your Podcast Have a Landing Page (and what should go on it?)

    In Episode 2, I talked to you about having one clear call to action for your podcast. There, I recommend your CTA should be to join the mailing list. This will allow you to capture your audience to directly communicate with them. From there, you can further promote sponsors, sell products, or provide more benefits for your membership (along with providing real value, of course).

    But you still need a good place for the mailing list sign-up form to live. There’s no way to add a form in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or any podcast app.

    No - You need a good landing page.
