Profit From Your Podcast

Today I talk about an income stream that didn't exist when I wrote the book and that is bitcoin. It doesn't cost anything to get set up, and depending on your audience, this could end up being another source of income. Without really promoting the value for value model on the School of Podcasting and yet I've made $85 since June. Now I'm OBVIOUSLY not going to retire on that money, but think about how much that might be if I promoted it (or if my audience was more tied into cryptocurrency).All you need to do is install the telegram software (free) and it takes maybe 5 minutes. Once your show is set up, then instruct your audience to use apps from newpodcastapps.com and they can set a value to give you as they listen to your show. VideosHow to receive enable your podcast to receive bitcoinHow to Transfer Bitcoin into Your Wallet Mentioned In This EpisodeLeading the Bleeding PodcastNo Agenda ShowCongressional DishGet an Autographed Copy of the Book Profit From Your Podcast

Jordan Harbinger has all of his ads listed under a "Deals" page. Here is why this strategy makes sense. Your audience only has to remember one website addressYour audience may go there to look at one advertiser and end up purchasing from multipleYour audience doesn't have to remember coupon codesPeople may share that page with their friends boosting SEOJordan actually says "/deals" in his podcast which is being tracked as the actual address is /advertisingJordan is mentioned on page 11 of Profit From Your Podcast.

More podcast money is going to go through a rebrand and be called Profit From Your Podcast to coincide with the release of my book Profit From Your Podcast. You're going to see the album art change and things turn from green to red. Please note nothing is wrong with your device. Everything is fine. I'm just rebranding it kind of like back when Kentucky Fried Chicken changed their name to KFC. It was the same place, same food, same value, with just a new name. It's the same thing here More Podcast Money, is changing its name to Profit From Your Podcast. The new website will be hosted on Podpage. To take a free class on Podpage click here. Buy the book Profit From Your Podcast on Amazon (aff link)

Today we are talking about Presentation is the queen of podcasting. We also talk aboutIs your podcast advertiser friendly?Nobody likes a bad infomercial.Howard Stern is more than the seven dirty words.More Touches Equals More SalesFeeding Search EnginesThe way to stand out and get people talking about you is to deliver great content.  While poor content delivered in a professional manner may be temporarily tolerated, great content delivered in an unlistenable, unwatchable format will not.  While you may be promoting a service or product, an episode that is more promotion than standard content will annoy your audience. Keep advertisements short and to the point.Adding written posts to your website provides “food” for search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing. 

To get an audience you need good content. What is good content? For me, I see it as content that makes you laugh, cry, think, groan, educate, or entertains you. If you to can more than one of these at a time you're on the right path. Today I share some example of people doing this, and point out that good content rises to the top. I also point out how the Apple charts have changed in the last 10 years. The book is available at www.morepodcastmoney.com

Today as I prepare to release the new version of the book, I'm going to read for free More Podcast Money. This book as available on Amazon. If you enjoyed the content, but don't read, you can show you appreciation with a donation.
