Stop Chasing the Wrong Sponsors—Here’s How to Attract Brands That Actually Want Your Audience

Ever feel like you’re putting in all this work pitching to sponsors… and hearing nothing but crickets? I’ve been there, and let me tell you: It’s not about your numbers—it’s about the FIT. In this episode, I’m breaking down the smart, strategic approach to locking in sponsors who not only want your audience, but will pay to get in front of them.

If you’re building your podcast as a key part of your business and want partnerships that make sense (for you and your listeners), you won’t want to miss this.

You’re passionate about your message, and if you’re using podcasting to connect with your ideal client, you know the struggle: pitching to sponsors who honestly don’t care about your show. I get it! This episode digs into the real secret—choosing, attracting, and pitching to brands that already want what you’ve built.

What’s Inside the Episode?

• How to truly define who’s listening to your podcast (and why sponsors should care)

• Ways to uncover brands that already invest in podcasts like yours
• Real-life examples of authentic sponsor fits (and how NOT to force it)
