Today we’re talking to Molly Ruland. Molly is the CEO and founder of Heartcast Media which is a digital content agency focused on creating branded content that drives revenue and creates strategic relationships. She’s an expert in the podcasting space and I really turned this whole call into a consultation for my own podcast. 

In this episode we dive deep into how to monetize your content, properly placing CTAs in your content, different tools to make the content creation process easier, and much more. 

If you don’t know where to start creating content or are looking to monetize your content, this episode is a must listen. 


Key Lessons:

  1. Your audience isn’t the only way to monetize, think about bringing on guests that can be strategic partners or potential clients. Develop a relationship, provide value, then make the ask
  2. Optimize your titles for discoverability, not searchability. I put the episode numbers in my titles because I wanted my listeners to be able to go back and quickly find the episodes I was referencing, but its more important to hook new listeners with your title than it is to make it searchable for your existing listeners.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
