Hey Moguls! Ever feel like you’re pouring your heart into your podcast but the money just isn’t showing up? Or maybe you’re stuck hustling for sponsors, grinding away on content, and still feel like your show isn’t making the impact—or income—you know it could? Trust me, you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m spilling the REAL secrets to podcast growth and monetization that work—even if your audience isn’t huge (yet).
What’s Inside This Episode?
This week, we’re digging into the two real ways to make money from your podcast (hint: it’s NOT chasing sponsors or growing downloads for the sake of big numbers). I’m answering the most burning podcaster questions straight from the trenches—my favorite Facebook groups—so you know you’re not getting theory, but real, proven strategies from people who’ve been exactly where you are.
Episode Summary
Why most podcasters are focusing on the WRONG growth metrics—and what actually matters if you want to turn listeners into clients or cash.
The truth about audience size (spoiler: you DON’T need thousands of downloads to monetize).
The two monetization methods every podcaster should know—and how to figure out which is right for you.
Tactics for using platforms like Pinterest to promote your show (and why it matters where your ideal client hangs out).
The secret to building a simple podcast funnel—to move followers from passive listeners to loyal community members, clients, and supporters.
Gear and editing recommendations for new podcasters who don’t want to break the bank.
Key Takeaways & Nuggets
It’s not about downloads, it’s about ENGAGEMENT. A small but loyal audience beats big numbers with zero connection every time.
Stop waiting on fancy gear! Your phone and a USB mic are enough to get started; perfectionism = procrastination.
Pinterest can work—but only if your audience is there. Match your promotion to where your dream clients hang out.
Build a listener journey: Move people from listener → follower → supporter. Funnels aren’t just for fancy marketers!
Monetization = Value: Whether it’s a membership, merchandise, or high-value content, you need to create a path for your listeners to invest in YOU, not just your show.
Want sponsors? Show them the ROI. Engagement and a proven community matter more than audience size.

Hey Moguls,
Ever felt like your podcast sponsorship emails just vanish into a black hole? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re getting real about why cold pitching is dead and what you should be doing instead if you want brands to actually hit “reply”—and say yes.
Episode Summary
We all want that dream sponsor—but most podcasters are still out here sending cold pitches that get buried (or worse, marked as spam). I’ll show you why warming up those leads gets real results—plus I’ll hand over my exact step-by-step outreach blueprint so you can build genuine brand relationships (and deals) without feeling salesy or desperate.
Tune in to learn:
The crucial difference between cold and warm sponsorship outreach (and when each actually makes sense)
How to make brands excited to work with you—even if you’re not a top-chart show
Follow-up strategies and how to close without feeling like you’re begging
My 5-step sponsor outreach system—because you deserve more than a “maybe someday” in your inbox!
Key Takeaways
Stop Cold Pitching: Jumping in with a pitch right away is like asking someone to get married before you’ve even said hello. Let’s build real connection first.
Warm Outreach Wins: Start by engaging with brands, showing appreciation, joining their conversations, and finding authentic overlap between your audience and their mission.
Blueprint Breakdown:
Identify aligned brands—don’t waste time on random targets.
Make genuine (pitch-free) first contact—DMs, nice emails, or social love.
Do your homework—sign up for newsletters, watch their webinars, get to know them.
Send a value-driven, tailored intro message (after some back-and-forth) before any pitch.
Pitch smart: keep it short, benefit-focused, and offer an easy “trial” if they’re new to podcasting.
Follow-Up Like a Pro: 3–5 days, friendly reminders, always adding value, not pestering.
Metrics Matter: Just 5 new sponsors a week could mean over 250 warm leads a year—even 10% yes is a win!
Only Move to Cold Pitching for Big Brands: Personalize deeply, focus on alignment/results, and don’t dwell on your podcast’s origin story. They care about ROI, not your basement hustle.
Don’t Take Silence Personally: It’s a numbers game. Consistency wins, and sponsors will start seeking you out as you build momentum.

Today, I sat down with Megan Shields, CEO of Chime House Media and Facebook/Instagram ads wizard, for a candid convo on how paid ads aren't just for big brands—they're the shortcut passionate podcasters should be using to grow faster and smarter.
⚡️ Episode Summary
Let’s be real—networking and organic hustle only get you so far. If you’re a podcaster who wants to serve your ideal clients and make a true impact, you’ve probably wondered if it’s worth putting your hard-earned money into podcast ads. Is it worth the risk? Will it even work? Megan answers all those burning questions and brings her playbook for turning your podcast from “hidden gem” to must-hear content.

🔑 Key Pain Point Addressed
Most podcasters feel invisible—even when they're producing killer episodes. They’re stuck in the “organic only” rut and don’t know how to leverage modern marketing so the right people (aka clients, customers, or super fans) actually discover them.
Megan shares exact steps (and some “don’t do this!” moments) on using Facebook and Instagram ads to grow your downloads, build your email list, and finally get heard by those who matter most.

The primary focus of our discussion revolves around the strategies to effectively monetize your podcast, thereby transforming your creative endeavor into a lucrative venture. We delve into various avenues for generating revenue, commencing with merchandise, which we assert is the most accessible and impactful method for creators to promote their brand while simultaneously earning income. By leveraging print-on-demand services, podcasters can simplify the merchandising process, ensuring that they need not maintain physical inventory, thus allowing them to concentrate on content creation. Furthermore, we explore additional monetization techniques, such as subscription models, selling personal products or services, affiliate marketing, and traditional sponsorships, all of which can contribute to a multifaceted income stream. Ultimately, our aim is to illuminate the pathways available for podcasters to not only earn financial support but also to reinvest in their craft, fostering growth and sustainability in their podcasting endeavors.
Continuing from the discussion on merchandise, the podcast delves into subscription-based models as another viable means of monetization. The speaker draws parallels with contemporary subscription services, such as Netflix and Amazon, to illustrate the growing trend of membership-based offerings within the podcasting realm. By establishing tiers of exclusivity and providing unique content or experiences to subscribers, podcasters can cultivate a loyal audience willing to invest in their work. The speaker cites various examples of successful podcasts that have implemented such models, highlighting the potential for recurring revenue and deeper audience engagement. Furthermore, the dialogue touches upon the sale of personal products or services, demonstrating how podcasters can leverage their platforms to promote their own endeavors, thereby creating a multifaceted revenue stream.
