Want to launch a podcast in 2025? Apply to work with us here: https://top10podcasts.com/start▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Today we are talking about monetizing your podcast during the holiday season. I promised to share my notes on the three tactics that drive listener engagement and encourage fast action. So, here we go!Tactic 1: Disappearing Episodes with a Flash Sale InsideThe idea is to create urgency by setting episodes to expire from your RSS feed after a specific time, encouraging listeners to act fast. Here are the steps to follow:Publish as a “Bonus Episode” with an expiration date (e.g., 24 hours) such that the episode and offer disappear after the set time.Set the episode to reach either only paid or non-paid subscribers, depending on your target audience. Include a clear link at the top of the show notes directing listeners to the offer page.For example, for Black Friday, offer a 10-hour, 50% discount on your Shopify store or suite of courses. Share the discount code within the episode, encouraging fast action before the episode disappears.Also, clearly state the URL for easy access, and duplicate the page to track traffic from the podcast episode accurately.Tactic 2: Price Increase CampaignUse your podcast to announce upcoming price increases, motivating listeners to purchase before the price goes up. You may create the following: CTAs: Dedicate call-to-actions (CTAs) at the beginning and middle of episodes, encouraging early engagement.Program Updates: Discuss new features and upgrades in specific episodes, explaining the added value of the price increase. Client Spotlights: Release mini-episodes or client interviews showcasing successful transformations and results.Sales Team Collaboration: Have your sales reps share these episodes with prospects or previous leads to prompt action. Exclusive Bonus: Offer an exclusive benefit for podcast listeners, such as a one-on-one onboarding call or special training, rewarding loyal listeners with added value.Tactic 3: Listicle Episodes with Affiliate LinksYour goal is to generate revenue by sharing valuable product recommendations through affiliate links. Listicles are easy to consume and provide value, which encourages listeners to check out recommended products.Here are some examples of effective listicles:Top 7 Software AI To Add to Your Christmas List5 Amazon Purchases That Instantly Enhance Your Podcast Studio3 Supplements I'm Buying for My Aging Parents to Keep Them HealthyHere is a bonus tip. Select products that resonate with your audience and include affiliate links in the show notes. Also, affiliate partnerships should be disclosed to maintain transparency with listeners.Listen to the episode for more details on how to implement these tactics effectively in your podcast.

Listen to learn about presenting the size and engagement of your email audience to potential sponsors and how to structure deals, including fixed fees and affiliate commissions.Guest: Sean Joseph, Tom Bilyou's former Head of Business Development▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

We know brands are looking for certain thresholds but it's not always the same, so what should we be absolutely aiming to hit? Here's what Tom Bilyou's former Head of Business Development, Sean Joseph has to say:- Focus on your first 100 truly devoted followers FIRST- 10,000 subscribers can then be a good threshold to aim for on YouTubeIf you've got that down, brands are sure to recognize you.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

PLEASE DO NOT CLICK THIS https://bit.ly/3MXyBgH▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Big brands don't like to work with just any niche, or just any creator. They're picky. So here are the key takeaways of what they look for: The two most lucrative podcast niches right now are health/fitness and lifestyle/education.Early-stage health/wellness brands are willing to spend 2-3x more on influencer marketing than average CPMs.Lifestyle/education companies aggressively pursue creators to develop new content for their audiences.Both niches allow podcasters to authentically showcase their passions and knowledge in an intimate way.Focusing a podcast business on these profitable verticals can help attract sponsorships and grow an engaged audience faster.Guest Info: Sean Joseph, Brand Deal Experthttps://www.instagram.com/seanzy319 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

So you want to get a brand deal but you want to make sure you don't mess it up…Here is what you should know:Creators should spend time identifying brands they genuinely use and enjoy.Creators should map the brands they want to partner with to brands that are already actively advertising, especially in the last 30 days, to have the best chances of success. Starting with one ideal "big fish" brand partner and then expanding to three partners is a good strategy while maintaining ROI for all brands.Ultimately, not being intentional about which brands to target could cost you (and them) in ROI and relationships.Guest Info: Sean Joseph, Brand Deal Experthttps://www.instagram.com/seanzy319 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

In this podcast episode, I compare and evaluate five popular podcasts hosting software based on criteria such as pricing, top features, top drawbacks, affiliate program, and video podcasting support. I evaluate each software based on its unique features and drawbacks and suggest considering the prices, features, and drawbacks of each hosting platform before making a decision. While Spotify for podcasters may be convenient for hobbyists, it may not be the best option for those looking to outsource production or have an entirely ad-free listening experience.
