033 The One About How To Sell Your Podcast
Talk to us about SALES! Send in your feedback to [email protected] or join our FB Group! Show 033 Quick-Guide The importance of self promotion - you have to learn to love it and NOT force it. The podcasting industry has an education problem: people don’t know podcasts + an old model for advertising What is a perfect partner? And what defines my perfect partner. What kinds of questions do you need to ask YOURSELF before you choose a sponsor or a sponsor approaches you. When you should NOT have a sponsor for your podcast. Smart companies are going to be looking for a return on their investment (ROI) and how you should prepare yourself. There is a responsibility of both parties (sponsor + podcasters) for a win-win. How does a podcast that is NOT a business but would like to make a little money shift their mindset about “pimping our their audience,” to being OK about selling their podcast. Most of us were not raised to sell and hustle. Elegant hustling FTW! What kind of experience do you have when YOU go shopping? What do you love and what do you hate? And how that informs how you partner with sponsors. There are so many distractions online that you must be able to help your audience focus on what they want to focus on. Treat everybody as if they are brand new. When you are in sales you will come up with people’s objections - knowing your people’s objections is gold. Erika reveals the exact email to send a potential advertisers - word for word. Elegant hustling is about an invitation and connection. “You don’t learn anything from YES” - says Erika Lyremark Who you need to contact to start the sales conversation + how to practice selling. What if nobody buys? How do you refuel and keep going? What hustling energy can get you - if you just follow through! How breakthroughs always come when you are not attached to outcomes. Some ideas are thrown about for Benjamin Franklin. Erika gives Elsie a challenge. OMG. We get a last massive bit of wisdom about sales and marketing that we all need to hear, starting with the fact that they are different kinds of conversations. FEEDBACK REQUEST!

Your feedback is ALWAYS welcome! [email protected]. Come on and join our FB Group OR send us a lovely piece of voice feedback. Show 032 Quick-Guide Jumping right in to the scoop about podcasting sponsorship - you ask, we deliver. What is the definition of a “seasoned podcaster” and why they are not the best to give you advice to help you make money. Why did Elsie choose that definition of a ‘seasoned podcaster’. A bit of history of “the podcaster” and how that plays into the culture of monetization and sponsorship in the medium. Seasoned podcasters have a wealth of experience in building a fanbase, sustaining passion, workflow/hacks and creating great content - NOT how to pitch and sell their podcast. The way it’s been it’s been - as advertising in podcasting stands. We break down numbers - download and cash - of the podcasting advertising “standards.” Time to debunk VOLUME (aka podcast download numbers) as the ONLY way to get sponsorship for your podcast. Why the CPM model is not the best model for podcasting - Elsie preaches a little bit. What you need to have in place before you can start looking for and negotiatiating podcast sponsors. The 3 essential things that you need to get yourself a sponsor for your podcast. What exactly IS crazy valuable content? What is the definition of an engaged audience? ENGAGEMENT + INTIMACY (you being you) = Perfect Partner Results (your perfect partner is your potential sponsor/advertiser) The ultimate golden ticket to getting the perfect sponsor - and it’s NOT what you think. Q&A from our She Podcasters! Erika, Kira and Carmen get their questions answered! FEEDBACK REQUEST! Thoughts on podcast sponsorship?

Take action ASAP send in your feedback. We give you the scoop on what went down with the public hearing by the EFF on 12/17/2014 that presented to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) a key claim to invalidate of a patent used by notorious patent troll Personal Audio to shake down podcasters. We have an idea of what season 2 for Serial should be…hmmmmmm. We do in fact have a conversation about patent law. Ya. Diving deep into a massively popular genre in podcasting Education. Why does a teacher decide to podcast about literature? The incredible culture of “being read to.” When children ask to read Shakespeare and redesigning a curriculum to teach to the joke. A Tale of Two Cities. It’s awesome. The audio brain vs the reading brain. And we do chat about the bias of reading-reading and “reading” and audio book. How Elsie reads now. Cognative Anchoring is revealed! Amazing stuff people. The room to expand your mind in all of the different podcast is there. Why and how what you listen to dictates how you move and grow in the world. It’s time to find a podcast that will help you break patterns. Go do it. And then there is Chop Bard and how it expands your brain. Or at least we geek out about it. A bit of Twelfth Night discussion. What is the distinction between podcasts and procasts? Audio quality may or may not deter new podcast listeners from stepping into more podcasts. There really are podcast seasons, not for your podcast, but for podcasters. Podcast numbers can be many things and only one aspect needs to be a commodity aka selling sponsorship A devoted fanbase does not signify money/sponsorship - if we subscribe to the existing media models. A devoted fanbase does not mean that they WILL buy when you have something to sell. Choose to go where your audience is - agree? Where are the women from She Podcasts Facebook group coming from?

Make sure that you let us know WHO you are going to connect with in this week's post on the She Podcasts Facebook Group! We would adore hearing from you, email [email protected] Show 026 Quick-Guide Welcome Espree Devora! The story of a beginner podcaster who finds out podcasting is IT. Does podcasting have a reputation that you cannot make money directly from podcasting? What does it really take to build a business where your podcast IS the business? LOVE as a key factor in podcasting as a business. A conversation about the crazy-ness of what’s going on with the podcast “Serial” and the crazy phenomenon. Society is ready for podcasting now - and it manifested itself via Serial. A bit of wisdom from a new podcast trendsetter via Donna Papacosta. What are the factors that have driven podcasting into the main stream media. We need to teach our audience how to subscribe and/or listen to our podcasts - all the different ways that you can do it. Espree’s podcast distribution strategy, which includes Stitcher, Soundcloud and iTunes, and how she uses each. The theory of engagement in a podcast: plot, authentic emotion, companionship. Espree got Alex Blumberg to introduce her podcast!!! There are no rules for podcasting, peeps. You make the rules. Espree has a challenge! Who do you want to meet? Why? And why it would be mutually beneficial for BOTH of you. Alex Blumberg is on the show - by proxy ;) @hunterwalk’s tweet about “Tech industry discovers podcasting!” “Is podcasting going to be a hits-driven business, or can you make a business out of having moderate successes?” Community is SO important. And whether it’s financially viable is yet to be proven. Elsie does not want the definition of success in podcasting to be tied to download numbers - a paradigm needs to be changed. Elsie found Espree on Medium and stalked her and now she’s here and part of the community. The scoop on the awesomeness of WeAreLATech. FEEDBACK REQUEST! Go in for THE ask!

Send us your feedback! [email protected] or come and hang out with us on the Facebook Group! Last chance to get in on Elsie's Podcast Growth For The Holidays Workshop! Show 025 Quick-Guide The baby’s here!!! Oh yes. The Podfading definition. We discuss Cliff Ravenscraft’s post on how many newpodcasts had already podfaded. Elsie’s dream: to interview podcasters that have podfaded. Pretty hardcore numbers on how many podcasters ‘podfade,’ provided by Elsie. Jessica breaks out iTunes again! Conclusion: podcasting is HARD. Ya. Podcasting is never ever. You are always launching. In order for you to get your podcast together it needs to align with your precise lifestyle. Jess’s confession about her dreams of podcast episodes in the can - not so much. Bottom line: you either have it in you to do the hard work or you do not. Elsie has in fact podfaded. She knows what’s up. Your podcast workflow with yourself OR with a co-host is a key to not podfading, in addition to making sure your are clear of what you can commit to. What you expect as a payoff and what you get as a payoff might be different. Downloads and PEOPLE are different. Just FYI. You don’t seep into your listeners life if you fade. One of the biggest pay-offs for Jessica is being "noticed’ a lot more. When you first start it feels super awkard regardless of how many courses you take and how many tutorials you do! OMG. A Jessica rant. Delicious. (listen at your own risk if you have stock questions for your podcast) When having the same questions for an interview format really works.
