How To Quit Your Day Job - Tips From Someone Who Actually Did it

I saw this post from Tim Paige and I can think of so many people who will read this, and ignore it. Some people feel that the one thing keeping them from "Making it" is this really inconvenient thing called their day job. Their "side hustle" is currently bringing in $34 a month, but for some reason they think that if they only quit their job the pressure of seeing your life's savings being caught on fire will inspire you to leap into action to find a way anyway to make a living "Doing what they ...

Does Being an Explicit Podcast Hurt Your Chances of Monetization

I saw a post on a Facebook Group: Lila Donnolo This is a sample of it Now Patreon says they have transferred processing pledges for their "adult" creators overseas, where there will be an extra processing fee. Patreon already takes a substantial cut of our earnings, credit card companies take a cut, and now we will get hit (again!) with processing fees. My account is NOW FROZEN AGAIN. I cannot access my funds from last month, and no new pledges can be made. I am losing potential income, especial...

Your Podcast Media Kit Part 1

There are two different types of surveys in my opinion. There are surveys where you ask your audience about them (that is often used in a media kit) and the other survey where you ask them about your show. Sponsor: Thrive Themes. Conversion Focused WordPress Themes & Plugins see www.morepodcastmoney.com/thrive Audience Surveys About Them This is the survey that you need demographics. So this might be things like: Age Sex Education Income Location Race Marital Status Total household income Do...

The Truth About Podcast Sponsorship

I see people who think the "Holy Grail" of podcasting is sponsorship. Now I have sponsors on my show, but when I listen to The Feed From Podcast Media Host Libsyn.com that less than 10% of podcasters get 5,000 downloads or more (as of May 2018). But, what if you did. An old holdover from the radio is selling advertisements by the download. CPM stands for the price for 10000 downloads. These range from $20-%50. So for this example let's use $35/1000 downloads. One episode a week (four episodes a ...

Getting Free Stuff

One thing that can happen "Because of Your Podcast" is you can end up with free stuff. There are some tips to pull this off. Quick Tip : Do not contact the sales department - it is their job to SELL you their product. Contact the marketing department - it is their job to get their product exposure and you have their target audience. Sometimes this requires giving a credit card number (to ensure you give it back), but there are times they will let you keep it. I always lead by asking to try the p...

Crowdunding Your Podcast

Patreon currently is one of the most popular crowdfunding platforms. For me, they take about 5%. With some creators, it can get closer to 10%. You can set different levels of supporting you with each level having their own reward. Here are some tips on creating rewards: Make sure they benefit the patron - not you Be careful with physical items as podcasting is a global audience Make sure you still deliver value, and that that fulfillment won't damage your original product Some things to consider...

Getting Sponsors For Your Show

We previously talked about the different ways to make money with your podcast. For me, let's get something clear. Most people do NOT make money from their podcast. Their podcast is a marketing arm of their business that builds a relationship with their audience. Rob Walch the VP of Podcaster Relations shares stats about their network in their podcast The Feed, and in their January 6th episode he mentions that only 7% of podcasters get enough downloads for a "Major" sponsor. Yet, so many podcaste...

Why Podcasting is So Powerful

Let's say you have a product that is meant for people who participate in Triathalons. You could exercise in Fitness Magazines, Biking magazine, Weight Lifting Magazines, TV, but you're hoping that the tri-athlete is maybe watching or reading one of those items. While more people listen to radio than a podcast, each year radio listening is going down and podcast listening is going up. With a radio station, you can only reach as far as your signal. You might say, "But hey Dave I can get my station...
