I have TONS of sponsorship experience working with both small local sponsors and multi-million dollar brands like Ghostbed and Liquid I.V.
The biggest lesson?
Sponsors care about ROI and audience alignment. It’s not about size—it’s about strategy.
In this episode, I’m diving into realistic and effective ways to monetize your podcast—whether you're just starting or ready to level up.
The first real opportunity to generate income?
It’s through lead generation.
I break down how I use podcasting to drive traffic to products, build email lists, and grow social media engagement that actually converts.
Then, I get into sponsorships—and I’m keeping it real. I share my personal experience working with both small local deals and multi-million dollar brands like Ghostbed and Liquid I.V. The biggest lesson? Sponsors care about ROI and audience alignment. It’s not about size—it’s about strategy.
I also reveal creative ways to secure sponsorship-style deals without trading money—like inviting CEOs or marketing execs on the podcast, featuring products naturally in episodes, and repurposing content that includes subtle product placement.
One of my favorite monetization strategies? Affiliate marketing. It’s low-risk and high-reward when done right. Throughout this episode, I emphasize the importance of audience trust and choosing brand partners that actually make sense for your niche. If you're running a women’s health show, you won’t hear me recommending an ice cream sponsor—same goes for business podcasts promoting baseball gear.
This episode is your no-fluff guide to making money with your podcast the SMART way.
If you’re ready to maximize your podcast’s potential and turn it into a client-generating machine, this episode is a must-listen! __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________
