Every podcaster dreams of saying those magic words: “This show is brought to you by…” But for many creators, sponsorships feel like a far-off goal - something reserved for those with big audiences, fancy video setups, or industry connections. And the result? Talented hosts with powerful content hesitate to pitch themselves, assuming they're not “ready” yet.In this episode, I sat down with Justin Moore, sponsorship coach, creator, educator, and author of Sponsor Magnet. Justin has helped creators - from niche YouTubers to newsletter writers - land over a million dollars in sponsorship deals. And he's here to share a perspective that might completely change how you think about monetizing your podcast: you don't need massive numbers to make sponsorships happen. You just need the right mindset, the right strategy, and a more creative approach to what you're offering.Chapters:00:00 – Intro: Why Most Podcasters Feel Sponsorships Are Out of Reach01:45 – You Don't Need Big Numbers to Get Sponsorships (Here's Why)04:30 – The Sponsorship Continuum: How Your Pitch Changes As You Grow07:15 – Niche Shows Win: How Small Audiences Can Land Big Deals10:10 – How to Pitch Brands Using the R.O.P.E.

Ever feel like your best ideas get ignored? You spend hours crafting content, but instead of engagement, you get… silence. Worse, when people scroll past your work a few times, they start to build the habit of skipping it entirely. And if you don't fix this habit? Your audience won't just scroll past today—they'll forget you exist tomorrow. So how do you stop the scroll, create content that people actually care about, and build an audience that sees themselves in what you make? The answer? Psychology. Both yours and your audience's. In this episode of 'Creators That Crush,' host Shawn Buttner explores how creators can use audience psychology to create irresistible content and build a dedicated following. Drawing insights from an episode of the Creator Science podcast What You'll Learn Today: How audience psychology determines whether people stop scrolling—or keep scrolling past you. The three mindsets every creator needs to beat (or risk staying stuck). Because great content starts with YOU. Welcome to Creators That Crush, the show that helps you move from crushed to crushing it as a creator. I'm your host, Shawn Buttner, a certified high-performance coach and fellow creator, here to help you figure out what the difference between a crushed vs crushing it creator.

IE, "This is super cool. You should know about this" translated into "This person is super cool. You should know them." Having a pool of like-minded business professionals An example of a solid and long-lasting bond Dale helped two people forge and the satisfaction that comes from that How this type of work connecting people is a "let me feed my soul" type of thing The way that some in person events can be extremely overwhelming for Dale and how he deals with it Dale's YouTube platform being up to 1700 videos How it's not about the number of times you fall down, it's the number of times you get back up The advice Dale received from Nick Thacker whenever he's being too hard on himself and picking apart something he has done The importance of at least showing up as a good starting step How S.D. Huston is so good at what she does at connecting with people and making opportunities and the way she shows up in so many different places Some of the things that authors can get wrong when they are networking The importance of asking questions when you're networking not just because it makes you seem more interesting, but it also helps you to uncover more things, some of which you might have in common How you should not try to rush relationships Remember that authors are a rare breed (particularly when you're in non-writer circles) And more...

If you're contemplating starting a podcast, one crucial factor to consider is your passion for the topic. When a listener recently asked me about launching a history podcast, I emphasized that success isn't about the number of listeners but about having content you genuinely love and a drive to share it. I shared the inspiring story of Zita Christian, who started a podcast about her experiences with dementia—not because she was chasing popularity but because she wanted to help others. Her purpose was so clear that it outweighed any concerns about how many people might tune in.In my experience, understanding your "why" and knowing your audience are essential steps to avoid burnout and keep your podcast journey fulfilling. If you care deeply about your subject and are genuinely committed to serving your listeners, you'll find the motivation you need to push through those initial challenges.Takeaways: Having a strong passion for your podcast topic is essential for long-term success. Understanding your audience is crucial; know who you're creating content for. Your why behind starting the podcast will help you overcome challenges and burnout. Successful podcasters talk about subjects they love, regardless of listener numbers. Content and delivery are the two main pillars of a good podcast. Don't start a podcast just because it seems cool; ensure you have the drive.

YOU WILL NEED A PEN & PAPER to take NOTES as you listen to this episode packed with actionable tips you can implement in your messaging! In this episode, host Renee Marie and guest @itsjodiebrown, Brand visibility & messaging strategist for beauty industry leaders, discuss the challenges faced by newer educators in establishing their authority and visibility on social media, particularly Instagram. They chat about the importance of crafting a clear messaging strategy, overcoming imposter syndrome, and the necessity of sharing personal stories to connect with audiences. Jodi emphasizes the need for repetition in messaging and the significance of understanding one's unique impact as an educator. The conversation highlights the power of authenticity and purpose in building a successful educational brand. In this conversation, Jodie and Renee discuss the importance of designing impactful offers that resonate with audiences, the evolution of messaging, and the significance of articulating benefits over features. They emphasize the need for hyper-specific content that connects with the audience's experiences and desires. The discussion also covers strategies for crafting engaging content ideas and focusing on outcomes to enhance messaging effectiveness. The episode concludes with a teaser for a follow-up conversation on visibility. Time stamps: 00:00 Introduction to Educator Visibility 06:04 The Importance of Repetition in Messaging 11:58 Defining Your Unique Impact as an Educator 17:50 Connecting with Your Audience on Social Media 23:48 Designing Impactful Offers 30:05 Creating Hyper-Specific Content 39:22 Focusing on Outcomes in Messaging Key Takeaways: New educators often struggle with visibility on social media. It's essential to articulate your authority and messaging clearly. Repetition in messaging is crucial for audience retention. An origin story helps potential clients relate to you. Your unique impact as an educator should be defined and communicated. Building authority comes from authenticity, not just proclamations. Connecting with the right audience is more important than going viral. Your story can inspire others and create a connection. Purpose-driven messaging leads to greater impact. Engagement with your audience can lead to unexpected opportunities. Design your offers based on the impact you want to make. It's okay to evolve and not have everything figured out. Authenticity in messaging is more important than perfection. Transform features into benefits to connect with your audience. Use hyper-specific language to resonate with your audience. Gather customer language to enhance your content. Craft content that speaks directly to your audience's experiences. Practice makes perfect in content creation. Focus on outcomes rather than just the process. Visibility is built on a strong foundation of messaging. educator visibility, messaging strategy, imposter syndrome, origin story, social media marketing, authority building, audience connection, sales strategies, beauty industry education, personal branding, impactful offers, audience evolution, messaging, benefits, hyper-specific content, content ideas, outcomes, visibility

The podcasting landscape is often clouded by persistent myths that can derail the efforts of even the most dedicated creators. In this enlightening session, Dave Jackson confronts the widely held belief that consistency in episode release is the primary driver of success. While he acknowledges the importance of being reliable in scheduling, he vehemently asserts that the heart of a successful podcast lies in its content. Jackson's philosophy is clear: a compelling episode that resonates with listeners is infinitely more valuable than a mediocre one released on time. "Just be consistent" is not accurate, and will waste your time.Drawing from his extensive experience, Jackson shares insights on cultivating an audience rather than merely accumulating episodes. He emphasizes that many podcasters mistakenly believe that their consistency will impress potential sponsors, but the reality is that advertisers prioritize understanding the audience's size and engagement levels. Jackson encourages listeners to shift their focus from worrying about the number of episodes produced to genuinely understanding and catering to their audience's wants and needs. Through anecdotes and practical advice, Jackson illustrates the importance of audience interaction, such as conducting surveys to gather feedback and adjust content accordingly. He urges podcasters to embrace the challenge of creating high-quality, meaningful content, viewing every setback as a learning opportunity rather than a failure. Ultimately, this episode serves as a powerful reminder that success in podcasting is not just about persistence but about crafting content that engages and resonates with listeners.Takeaways: Consistency in podcasting is important, but content quality is even more crucial for success. Your podcast is merely a tool to build an audience, which is essential for monetization. Focus on understanding your audience's needs and preferences to create valuable content. Many aspiring podcasters misplace their efforts on equipment rather than improving their content. Don't be afraid to ask your audience what they want to hear; feedback is vital. Persistence in producing episodes is admirable, but engagement metrics are what truly matter. Mentioned in this episode:Come to Podindy!

In this episode, Duane Brumitt and Shihan Allie Alberigo discuss the critical importance of defining and communicating your brand message as a martial arts school owner (or any business). They explore how your message is more than just your style or art—it's about the values, vision, and purpose that your school stands for. The conversation highlights: Understanding Your “Why”: Your passion for teaching martial arts (or any service) must align with your brand message. What do you want to achieve? This will help define your purpose and connect with your audience on a deeper level. Crafting Your Brand Message: Simplify and clarify your message. Whether you focus on leadership, family, or self-defense, your message should be consistent across all touchpoints—from your website to your in-class announcements. Tying Your Brand to Your Audience's Needs: Knowing your target audience is key. What are their pain points, and how can you help solve them? If you're a family-focused school, for example, speak directly to parents' concerns about discipline, confidence, and leadership for their kids. Storytelling: A powerful brand message includes storytelling. Sharing real-life success stories from your students or personal experiences helps make your message relatable and memorable. By the end of the episode, Duane and Shihan emphasize that to effectively communicate your brand message, consistency and emotion are vital. When you connect emotionally with your audience and reinforce your message at every opportunity, you create a lasting impact that can transform your school's culture and success.

In this episode of the Best Coach Ever Podcast, Lynette, just back from an FCBA Coaching Call, proves that grabbing inspiration on the fly beats waiting for a perfect setup. Raspy voice and all, she's here to remind us that action trumps waiting for the stars to align.We discuss the latest Fitness Coaching Business Accelerator call, tackling hot topics like Instagram audits, industry updates, and the mindset hurdles fitness coaches face. The big takeaway? The “Pass or Fail” mentality, where success is seen in black-and-white terms, is just like the all-or-nothing thinking in fitness.Lynette drops a story about unrealistic relationship expectations to drive home the point that expecting instant success without recognizing the slow burn of progress only leads to frustration and disappointment.The episode also gets real about the need for consistent social media engagement. Think of it as dating your audience—regular, genuine interactions are key to long-term success, not a one-off post or event.Wrapping up, we're all about smashing the pass-or-fail mindset with persistence and steady action.

What do marketers and competitive bakers have in common? Quite a lot, actually.Both work amid time constraints, follow recipes for success, and have to express creativity under pressure.  And there's a lot marketers can learn from these competitive bakers, so that's what we're talking about this week.In this episode, we're taking B2B marketing lessons from Food Network's seasonal baking series, Summer Baking Championship.Together with the help of our special guest, the Director of Content Marketing at Splunk, Ann Smith, we talk about putting your own spin on a recipe, tasting what you bake, and not trying to do too much at once. About our guest, Ann SmithAnn Smith joined Splunk a year ago as the Director of Content Marketing, leading a team of content strategists and writers to produce award-winning, pipeline-generating, headline-grabbing content. Prior to Splunk, she led content marketing for Oracle and held senior marketing roles at technology start-ups and small companies. She has a master of arts degree in Speech Communication from San Jose State University.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Summer Baking Championship:Put your own spin on a recipe. In other words, it's okay to use a recipe you know works, but don't just check the box with your content. Strive to also make an emotional connection with your audience. Ann says, “People that buy software are people too. And it's the storytelling and the ability to connect emotionally with readers that really makes it. Storytelling is that extra layer of icing on the cake.” Taste what you baked. Review your content to gauge its effectiveness. Looking back on past work is a great way to not only see your growth, but to take a candid look at what worked and what didn't. Ian says, “How many times have you made a meal and you didn't even taste it? My food is always criminally under-salted when I take it out because I just didn't taste it. So much marketing is like that. Go back and read that thing a year from now. Was that a good post? It's like, ‘No, it was not good.' Did you read it and like it? Did someone else on your team read it and like it?”Don't try to do too much. That's when you lose clarity on your message. It becomes instantly forgettable by your audience. Ian says, “The biggest thing is just writing way shorter and just telling one story at a time that has a single message that you're trying to leave people with. So many times we write an article and we want to pack 15 things into it. Dont. Just tell them one thing. I just want them to leave reading this thing with one singular lesson. And that's the thing that's going to stick.”Quotes *”People that buy software are people. Chief technology officers are people too. And it's the storytelling and the ability to connect emotionally with readers that really makes it. More than just, ‘I'm just following a recipe,' right? I'm just checking the box. Storytelling is that extra layer of icing on the cake.”*”Just be helpful, help educate [your audience] without expecting anything in return. If you can help your customer do something better, learn something new, without expecting anything back from them,  really genuinely wanting to help them succeed, you'll have customers for life.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Ann Smith, Director of Content Marketing at Splunk[1:36] Exploring Summer Baking Championship[2:39] Content Marketing at Splunk[5:13] The Success of Summer Baking Championship[9:17] Parallels Between Baking and Content Marketing[15:18] The Art of Storytelling in Marketing[19:29] The Art of Concise Writing[20:26] The Challenge of Simplifying Complex Messages[21:47] Avoiding Over-Salted Content[22:53] Relating to Your Audience[25:44] Embracing Authenticity in Writing[31:51] Effective Content Strategies[37:39] Final Thoughts and Best Advice for Marketing ProfessionalsLinksConnect with Ann on LinkedInLearn more about SplunkAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

In this episode of Make Business Personal, Kiley Peters, founder of RAYNE IX, talks about the importance of audience research and provides a step-by-step guide on how to conduct it effectively. She emphasizes the need to understand and identify your target audience in order to serve them better. Kiley recommends creating a short script and reaching out to specific individuals in your network for interviews. She also suggests asking questions about their challenges, past experiences, ideal solutions, and expected investments. Kiley also advises recording the interviews and analyzing the responses for patterns. The goal of audience research is to gather information and make necessary adjustments to better serve your audience.The Purpose of Audience Research 3:06Using the Language of Your Audience 8:33Recommended Resources 16:15Quotes “You are not trying to prove that you are right. You are trying to gather information to see if you were right or see if you need to tweak things or adjust them entirely.” 3:12“If you go out doing audience research trying to prove that you are correct, you will be doing it wrong and you will be doing yourself a huge disservice. And there's really no point in doing audience research if you're just trying to prove your point. You need to be going out open-minded and try to listen to the words that they're using and really listen to what they're trying to communicate versus just trying to validate what you think you want to hear them say.” 3:25“You should start seeing patterns in their responses between the fourth and fifth interview, and then you're looking at interviews five, six, seven to validate that. So I'm going to recommend you go out and conduct five to seven interviews. If you can do more, awesome, do more.” 5:26Links & Follow-ups:Learn more at MakeBusinessPersonal.com & KileyPeters.com Downloads available at MBPDownloads.comWork with us at RAYNEIX.com & RIXAccelerator.com Submit questions at MBPPodcast.com Newsletter Signup: RIXNewsletter.com Linkedin: Kiley Peters & RAYNE IXInstagram: @kileypeters & @rayneix Email: info@rayneix.com

Show Notes: 7 Tips to Become a Better Speaker #7 - Record Everything Any time you get the opportunity to speak, especially early in your career as a speaker, record it. Preferably a video recording. But at minimum, get an audio recording. Why? Because nothing will help you improve as a speaker than seeing and hearing yourself speak. PERIOD. Here are two quick thoughts... First, be prepared because watching yourself present can be brutal, especially early on. So give yourself some grace and realize your speaking is a work in progress. And most importantly, don't give up. Everything worth doing is worth doing poorly at first. Second, don't make recording complicated or distracting. Just set up your smartphone on a table or tripod and hit record. Or have someone else take care of the recording for you. Bottom line, if you make things too complicated, you won't do it. And if it's too distracting, you won't be focused on your presentation. I hope these 7 simple tips for becoming a better speaker have been helpful. For review, here they are one last time: #1 - Know Your Topic #2 - Capture New Ideas #3 - Get Your Reps In #4 - Focus on Serving #5 - Create an Experience for Your Audience #6 - Look People in the Eye When Speaking #7 - Record Everything Episode Resources 9 Ways to Get Paid as a Speaker (FREE Resource) 5 Keys to Create a Speech That Pays (FREE Resource) Got questions? Submit them here Thank You for Listening!

Have you ever been captivated by a speaker who seems to effortlessly command the room, inspiring everyone with their words and presence?  That's the magic of executive presence combined with powerful public speaking. Whether you're leading a team or an organization or a workshop, whether you're presenting to 20, 200, or 2000 people, your ability to communicate your ideas clearly, get buy-in from your audience, and deliver with energy and confidence can make all the difference. But here's the thing: Executive presence doesn't simply materialize overnight. Nor is it the exclusive domain of the naturally charismatic. It's an art that can be cultivated, and one of the most powerful tools for doing so is honing your presentation and storytelling skills. In this new podcast series on executive speaking, we'll explore how you can elevate your executive presence through impactful communication. This series is perfect if you work at a company and are looking to enhance your leadership skills. If you're an entrepreneur, you'll also get a lot out of this series by learning how to effectively convey your vision and inspire your team and your audiences. We know that we want to see more women in positions of influence on boards, on leadership teams, in politics, and in business.
