Captivating Quotes from this Episode:
16:15 Finding the right kind of production package to fit your needs
“Most of my clients are like, I don’t want to know how to edit a podcast, I don’t want to do anything, I want to record it and send it to you. And then it will magically just pop up on Apple podcasts week after week. And so that’s what we do for them. Now, some clients, enjoy maybe the social media piece of it. So they like to keep that in-house. Or, you know, if you loved the editing piece, you could keep the editing piece yourself, if you’re a business owner and have someone else, maybe do the show notes. And, you know, do the marketing and that side of it too. There’s a lot of different ways that you can work with a podcast manager or any service provider in that instance. But you still can keep what you want to do, and then you know, outsource the things that, as they say, don’t bring you joy, or that you shouldn’t be doing.”
18:30 Finding clients/service providers you’re aligned with
“In the beginning, I kind of took anybody and everybody that I could because I just needed clients, I needed the money, I wanted to grow my business. But now, just realizing how important really, truly working with aligned people is. And that has been huge for the business to where most of the time now- sometimes even before I get on a discovery call- I can know if that person’s aligned with my values”
36:35 Monetizing in a way that brings value to your listener
The number one way I say to monetize your show is to sell your own coaching, consulting, or course, because you are establishing yourself as the expert in the field to where people want to continue working with you, whether it’s on a one to one, one to many, you know, however you do, that’s definitely the best way…
So I would say your own products, affiliate products are great, you can also get some sponsors that would do, especially the more niche your podcast is, you can definitely get sponsors that are super aligned that even with smaller audiences, if they feel like their brand really goes with your brand, and those are great, you can definitely reach out to them and form you know, really close relationships and get them to come on as a sponsor as well.
