In this episode, Ash and Kane debunk common podcasting myths and answer questions on everything from sponsorship to the true cost of podcasting.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Brands don’t know you exist. You have to let them know about you, you don’t necessarily need high listener numbers for them to see potential, just a loyal following.
- What do your audience spend money on and what problems do they need solving? Then look for the brands that align with this and approach them for sponsorship.
- Interviews are good for building authority but solo content is where you build real rapport with your audience.
- It’s not difficult to get guests for new podcasters, most people's favourite topic is themselves and they are happy to be interviewed on your podcast.
- You don’t have to be the best speaker to podcast, but some speaking training can help you speak more confidently. Most podcasters have zero public speaking experience.
