About this episode

https://podcastfasttrack.com/

You hear the term “monetization” all the time in reference to podcasting - and the translation is usually “get a podcast sponsorship.”

That’s a great option for shows that get thousands of downloads, right? But what about the little guys? What about those of us who have a very passionate but smaller audience? Is there a possibility that we could find an ideal sponsor for OUR show?

Trevr Smithlin from Advertisecast says “Yes, it’s possible” and on this episode of Podcastification he’s going to explain exactly how it’s possible.
