1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,280
So I want to go over some tips really fast to make more money with your podcast on anchor.

2
00:00:05,370 --> 00:00:09,390
And there's a few that are really simple and they're literally taken from the anchor Web site themselves.

3
00:00:09,390 --> 00:00:13,410
So I want to go over them for you because while they are simple, they are effective.

4
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:17,960
So the more you do this and keep in mind that you don't want to over do this, OK?

5
00:00:18,420 --> 00:00:21,070
The more you do these, obviously, the more money you'll make.

6
00:00:21,090 --> 00:00:23,430
But ultimately, your main goal should be to grow an audience.

7
00:00:23,460 --> 00:00:23,560
OK.

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,410
So these are just some four simple tips.

9
00:00:25,710 --> 00:00:27,990
So first of all, I must ask your listeners for support.

10
00:00:28,020 --> 00:00:28,160
OK.

11
00:00:28,230 --> 00:00:34,680
You can ask your audience for support directly in your actual podcasts and explain that their support,

12
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:38,700
whether you know, whether it's a little bit or a lot, whatever they have, you know, or whatever

13
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:43,830
that they're willing to give, obviously will allow you to spend a little bit more time to increase

14
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:45,310
the value that you're able to give.

15
00:00:45,330 --> 00:00:46,120
On the podcast.

16
00:00:46,140 --> 00:00:46,280
Right.

17
00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:51,270
So it don't actually like, kind of ask hey for handouts or anything like that or like, hey, give

18
00:00:51,270 --> 00:00:53,130
me money or anything like that.

19
00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:54,150
You don't want to come off that way.

20
00:00:54,180 --> 00:00:58,650
You want to come off like it's a mutual, you know, kind of relationship and they get something out

21
00:00:58,650 --> 00:00:58,980
of it too.

22
00:00:59,010 --> 00:00:59,190
Right.

23
00:00:59,220 --> 00:01:03,420
So like, hey, if you guys want to support this podcast, you know, it really goes a long way to help

24
00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:09,630
me buy more of my own time and buy better equipment so I can add more value and a better listening experience

25
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,240
to, you know, the podcast going forward for you.

26
00:01:12,270 --> 00:01:12,540
Right.

27
00:01:12,570 --> 00:01:16,140
So it's almost like them investing into themselves that way.

28
00:01:16,170 --> 00:01:16,380
Right.

29
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,670
That's kind of how you want it to come off.

30
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:17,990
OK.

31
00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:22,560
So and you can also activate this, obviously, with the listener support, right.

32
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,440
From The Patriot, and that's how they can do it and kind of get donations.

33
00:01:25,470 --> 00:01:29,090
So you can also activate sponsorships on all of your episodes.

34
00:01:29,130 --> 00:01:29,400
OK.

35
00:01:29,730 --> 00:01:35,100
So whether or not you want to monetize your podcast initially right off the bat, if you have a low

36
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:37,600
following, is your prerogative in your decision.

37
00:01:37,650 --> 00:01:37,820
OK.

38
00:01:37,890 --> 00:01:39,090
So I kind of do both.

39
00:01:39,150 --> 00:01:45,120
I monetize longer episodes and some episodes I don't have any ads on just because I'm still in the building

40
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,590
phase of my, you know, building my audience on the anchor platform, whether that's like, you know,

41
00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:53,760
on sites like I tunes or Stitcher or, you know, Spotify, wherever it is.

42
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:53,940
Right.

43
00:01:53,940 --> 00:01:56,130
I'm still in the in the building of an audience stage.

44
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:02,800
So I don't want to flood all of my my podcast episodes if they're only like 10 minutes long with ads.

45
00:02:02,820 --> 00:02:03,080
Right.

46
00:02:03,330 --> 00:02:06,570
That said, if you have longer episodes then maybe you want to do that.

47
00:02:06,570 --> 00:02:06,750
Right.

48
00:02:06,750 --> 00:02:11,130
If you have like episodes that go like 20 minutes or 30 minutes or an hour long, then by all means

49
00:02:11,130 --> 00:02:12,210
throw a few ads in there.

50
00:02:12,210 --> 00:02:16,320
And, you know, that's something that can be super effective, which ties me into a better point right

51
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,040
here, which is, when possible, use mid roll ads.

52
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:24,360
OK, so you you can notice once you start uploading that, you can add an ad in the beginning of your

53
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,600
podcast and you can add an ad at the end of your podcast.

54
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:32,760
OK, but during the upload process, if you upload your podcasts, it's like, what's your podcast,

55
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:33,930
for example, is an hour long.

56
00:02:34,130 --> 00:02:34,280
Right.

57
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:37,580
And you upload the entire hour as your podcasts.

58
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,380
You are not going to be able to place mitro ads on that.

59
00:02:40,380 --> 00:02:43,020
It's not like a YouTube video where you can literally place your ads.

60
00:02:43,260 --> 00:02:44,190
And it will break for you.

61
00:02:44,220 --> 00:02:49,770
What you need to do is in your actual editing software, you need to take that hour long podcast and

62
00:02:49,770 --> 00:02:52,890
clip it in the sections where you want the ads to be right.

63
00:02:52,910 --> 00:02:57,450
So maybe you clip it down into like a 20 minute clip and then another 20 minute clip and then a third,

64
00:02:57,450 --> 00:02:58,150
20 minute clip.

65
00:02:58,380 --> 00:03:01,830
And you put to mid roll ads in between all three of those rights.

66
00:03:01,830 --> 00:03:06,450
And then you have, like, you know, a 20 minute part of your podcasts and then a mid roll ad and then

67
00:03:06,450 --> 00:03:09,400
the next 20 minute part of your podcasts and then a mineral ADIC cetera.

68
00:03:09,870 --> 00:03:15,960
So ad mineral ads, it will keep viewers listening, obviously, and allow you to earn more.

69
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,400
Very, very simply.

70
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:17,700
OK.

71
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,430
And also always record for new sponsors.

72
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:26,490
So keep in mind that depending on what your niche like, keep record with the idea of potential sponsors

73
00:03:26,490 --> 00:03:26,850
in mind.

74
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:27,030
Right.

75
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:30,060
So, you know, you can I'm not telling you to not be authentic.

76
00:03:30,090 --> 00:03:31,440
I think authenticity is key.

77
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,580
And I think do what makes you happy and, you know, preach to your audience however you want.

78
00:03:35,710 --> 00:03:35,940
Right.

79
00:03:36,450 --> 00:03:40,530
That said, the whole thing that I'm trying to say here is it's the same thing on YouTube when you're

80
00:03:40,530 --> 00:03:43,470
creating YouTube videos is like when you're creating content.

81
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:47,520
You have to keep in mind what sponsors are going to potentially want to sponsor that content.

82
00:03:47,580 --> 00:03:47,730
Right.

83
00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:51,750
So obviously, your niche is something that you can't really control depending on what you're creating,

84
00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:56,970
your podcast, on your audio content, on your you know, your your you will have the opportunity to

85
00:03:56,970 --> 00:03:59,400
get sponsored by certain companies in that niche.

86
00:03:59,490 --> 00:03:59,670
Right.

87
00:03:59,730 --> 00:03:59,880
Right.

88
00:03:59,910 --> 00:04:01,170
That's not something you can control.

89
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:07,440
But what you can control are things that you talk about, whether that's, you know, you know, borderline

90
00:04:07,530 --> 00:04:08,070
issues.

91
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:09,110
And you can do this if you want.

92
00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:10,010
I'm not telling you not to.

93
00:04:10,020 --> 00:04:11,880
I'm just telling you, keep an open mind.

94
00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:16,920
If your goal is to get sponsored and make money with this podcast, keep in mind that you probably want

95
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,210
to avoid things like religion.

96
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,140
You probably want to avoid things like, you know, sex and violence and drugs and stuff like that.

97
00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:23,760
You probably want to avoid curse words.

98
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,260
You probably want to avoid anything that's like, you know, toeing the line or, you know, kind of

99
00:04:28,260 --> 00:04:32,410
could be misconstrued as like, you know, controversial.

100
00:04:32,430 --> 00:04:32,730
Right.

101
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,260
Stay away from those topics.

102
00:04:34,290 --> 00:04:36,840
I'm not saying, you know, I'm telling you not to be authentic.

103
00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:39,930
And in fact, if you want to do those things, then by all means more power to you.

104
00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:44,340
I'm just saying that if you're going to go that route, keep in mind that there will be a large majority

105
00:04:44,340 --> 00:04:48,930
sponsors that will avoid those types of podcasts and those content.

106
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:54,150
So if you are recording with the idea of, you know, how to make more money with your podcasts, then

107
00:04:54,150 --> 00:04:55,660
keep that in mind.
