KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Remember that you are often a risk to the advertiser if you have a small audience and no social proof.
- When you use a baked-in ad, the advertisers effectively ‘own’ that episode. This way you are maximising the potential returns for the sponsor and it’s easier to sell this to them.
- ROI might be low for advertisers when a podcast first starts out, but they will continue to earn on that baked-in ad for years to come as the show grows.
- Do a host read, mid-roll baked-in ad, this is where the sponsor will get the best ROI and will want to continue to invest in your show.
- You can always switch to dynamic ads as your audience grows.
BEST MOMENTS
“You’re (the advertiser) still going to be getting leads from that ad which you are no longer paying for”
“Once you get a bigger audience, you can value your ad slots more”
“It’s a great first step and it’s all about relationships with podcasting”
