EVENT DETAILS |
Learn how to get the traction you need & how to collect information on your audience so you can better market your podcast.
Note: This is a 4 hour class; the day is structured into two parts with a one-hour break in between.
There are no secrets to getting your podcast sponsored, but there are different routes to getting there. Learn what it was like to monetize an independent podcast with Millennial as a case study.
You already have a podcast that can break through the industry - now learn how to get the traction you need to get noticed & how to collect information on your audience so you can better market your podcast. The class will cover suggestions for building an audience, how to encourage sponsors to invest in your show, & how to negotiate rates.
Come prepared with any statistics on your podcast that you already have, as well as a list of brands & publications you want to connect with - one of the in-class exercises will be making (or improving) your own pitch deck.
The instructor for this interactive, one-day workshop is Megan Tan, former creator, host, & producer of Radiotopia's Millennial Podcast.
Please note: This is not a story or pitching development class; this class is best for people who already have a podcast of their own.
