(07:00):
and share them on all yoursocial media platforms.

the valuable content you'reoffering.
They serve as effective hooksto draw viewers into your full

community of listeners andviewers.
You can interact with youraudience in real time during

traditional audio-only podcasts.
The versatility of videopodcasting complements your

It adds a fresh perspective toyour content mix and attracts
different audience segments.
(08:30):
Some people prefer watching,others reading and some engaging
in bite-sized pieces.
Video podcasts allow you tocater to all of these while
still saying true to yourbrand's message.
So when you think about startinga video podcast before the end
of the year, think beyond theepisodes themselves.
Think about the ripple effectthat they can create in your
(08:50):
content strategy, amplifyingyour reach and impact.
And when you start a videopodcast, there's also the
opportunity to monetize throughit.
As an entrepreneur, you knowthe importance of diversifying
your income streams.
Well, your video podcast can bea goldmine waiting to be tapped
into.
So let's start with theclassics.
(09:10):
Of course, sponsorships andaffiliate marketing.
Companies are eager to reachengaged audiences and your video
podcast provides the perfectplatform for them.
Imagine having brands runningto collaborate with you, paying
you to feature their products orservices.
It's a win-win situation thatcan quickly boost your revenue,
especially after you've built astrong audience that works for
(09:32):
both parties.
But there's more.
Your video podcast can become adirect revenue generator.
If you have products orservices, promote them during
your episodes.
Create exclusive offers foryour podcast audience.
Your loyal viewers are morelikely to take avert into
customers because they alreadytrust you.
Now let's talk about the powerof memberships and subscriptions
.
You can offer premium contentor early access to your episodes
(09:56):
for a monthly fee.
Your dedicated fans will gladlypay for exclusive perks,
creating a consistent incomestream.
And don't forget merchandise,if that's something you want to
include into your brand orbusiness, you can develop
branded products related to yourpodcast's theme.
T-shirts, mugs or even digitaldownloads can become a lucrative
side business, boosting yourpodcast's profitability.
(10:18):
Plus live events and webinars,hosting exclusive virtual
gatherings for your audience cannot only generate income
through ticket sales, but alsodeepen your connection with your
community.
And, last but not least, youcan even look at crowdfunding
platforms like Patreon orKickstarter that provided direct
line for your fans to supportthe show financially.
(10:40):
You can even offer specialrewards for your backers,
creating a sense of belonging.
Now, I get it.
It may seem overwhelming atfirst, but here's the beauty of
it all you don't need to choosejust one path.
Many successful videopodcasters combine multiple
monetization strategies, whichcreates a diversified income
portfolio.
(11:00):
So, as the year is drawing to aclose, remember that your video
podcast is not just a creativeoutlet.
It's a revenue generatingmachine.
Explore these monetizationavenues, experiment and find
what works best for your nicheand audience.
Now I know what you're thinking, chris.
There's a lot that goes intostarting a video podcast, and
there are things that I'm goingto come up with that I'm up to
(11:21):
overcome.
So we're going to dive intosome of those common obstacles
that might be holding you backfrom starting your video podcast
.
Trust me, these challenges aresurmattable, and I've seen
countless podcasters conquerthem on their way to success.
First, of course, the easy oneis equipment.
It's so easy to get overwhelmedby the many types of cameras,
(11:41):
microphones and gear availableout there to you.
The truth is, you don't needthe most expensive equipment to
get started.
Start with what you have,whether it's a decent smartphone
and a budget-friendlymicrophone.
As you grow, you can invest inbetter gear, but starting out,
you really need to focus onaudio quality first.
Make sure your audio quality ison par, even for a video
(12:04):
podcast, and I would recommendjust using your webcam on your
laptop to start instead of yourphone, unless you know how to
hook your phone into thecomputer and get it to work as
the webcam, it just brings inanother hassle.
But if you can do the onethat's already on your laptop,
that's going to be the simplestway.
Instead, as you go, you canimprove and invest in new
equipment as you grow and as youget the funds to do so.
(12:27):
Now you might also be wonderingabout video editing, audio
production or even setting upyour own podcast hosting
platform.
So here's the good news thereare so many online resources,
courses and communities that canhelp you.
Even here at Elevate Media, wecan launch your video podcast

But remember, everyone startssomewhere.
So begin by reaching out topeople in your network or within
your niche.
Explain the value they'll getfrom being on your podcast.
Over time, as your podcastgains traction, you'll find it
easier to attract high-profileguests.
You'll learn about buildingrelationships and providing
(13:30):
value.
Consistency can also be a hurdle.
Sticking to a regular recordingschedule and releasing episodes
on time is crucial for buildingyour audience.
Create a content calendar,batch record episodes as much as
possible and then set realisticgoals.
This will help you maintain asteady flow of content and keep
your audience engaged.
(13:51):
And lastly, don't let the fearof not having a perfect first
episode hold you back.
Remember you'll improve witheach episode you create.
Start now, learn as you go andrefine your podcasting skills
over time.
Your early episodes will serveas a testament to your progress,
just like mine, my first onewhich are terrible, and your
