No matter how many episodes and downloads you have, you won't be ready to secure sponsorships and monetize, if you don't have the correct materials at your fingertips. And, the most critical of these is your media kit, because you need to be able to present the story of you and your podcast (your BRAND) at a glance--like a quick snapshot. So, you need a packet that you can hand over, include as an attachment in an email, or provide a link to, in order to give a potential partner an immediate and good sense of three things: 1) who you are, 2) what your show is about, and 3) who your audience is. You need to instantly relay the value of your audience as their customer base and your compatibility for solving that sponsor's pain points. So, now that you know WHY you need one, listen in to my conversation on creating your media kit with my Professional Podcasting Peer Guest, John Jay Wiley of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. We not only get into how to put one together, but you will be amazed at all of the partnership and monetization potential a great media kit can bring–especially when you hear John's results! Then, check out the episode's show notes to download our sample kits. It's my next Podcasting 102 topic ready to roll for you today. Listen in and let's do this...!

If you are a health practitioner: - If you are a licensed professional, understand any licensing rules that apply. - In Florida, you cannot offer certain services. - You may want two businesses: one for your license and a separate one for your educational business. - You may need specific disclosures about education and not therapy or diagnosing people. (Use clear language in the right places.) - Live coaching may create more risk as opposed to pre-recorded courses. (Listen in at the 23 minute 30 second mark for more info.)

Listen to this episode for some brilliant insights into building a small but mighty community and pivoting a business through lockdown. Here's what we chat about: >> Starting a networking group by not meaning to start a networking group. Allowing organic growth to develop an idea based on what people want and need rather than a master plan. >> How Lottie used her need to bounce ideas off other heads of marketing to develop the seed of the idea that became Copy Club. >> Letting a vision crystalise before you begin to drive it forward. >> Harnessing co-learning can feel like a conversation rather than official networking. >> Having people around you at work and in life that are interested in what you do. >> Lottie's fundamental belief about networking and why this has attracted people to The Copy Club. >> The importance of personal development within startups and how you can do this without a budget. >> Why 'free events' are ineffective when they are hidden sales pitches and business development. >> Having a 'no selling' rule and evolving beyond this to create a thriving freelancer community. >> Nurturing a community first and controlling the atmosphere by design is key to creating a space where conversations can develop. >> Why The Copy Club is called The Copy Club (which has nothing do to with copywriting). And is inspired by Shopping Safaris. >> Challenging yourself to join up dots and create real innovation. And using time hacks from this. >> The transition from in-person events to online events during lockdown. And how lockdown accelerated plans. >> Growing a team as a small business. The difference between external perception and internal actions. >> Giving a percentage of membership fees away to charity and why that matters to Lottie. >> Harnessing the power of recommendations and referrals. >> A membership where members get stuck in and make it special. >> Tracking the right metrics for your business - and using that to make decisions.
