How to Get Podcast Sponsors With Only 1,000 Downloads

"You need at least 10,000 downloads per episode before sponsors will even look at you."

After helping dozens of podcasters at Bamby Media secure their first sponsors, I can tell you that smaller shows have a distinct advantage that most creators haven’t explored: micro sponsorship. In this episode, I explain what micro sponsorship is, how it works, who to target and how much to charge. 00:00 Introduction to Podcast Monetisation 00:49 Understanding Micro Sponsorships 01:42 Connecting with Potential Sponsors 04:07 Setting Up Your Sponsorship Package 04:33 Gathering and Presenting Analytics 06:26 Creating Effective Host-Read Ads 08:22 Reaching Out and Building Relationships BAMBY MEDIA LINKS: Monetising Your Podcast Course https://www.bambyacademy.com/podcast-monetisation-course Our Learn Descript Program http://www.bambyacademy.com/learndescript Try Descript https://get.descript.com/rgmxtjxzunbb GEAR WE USE TO PRODUCE THIS PODCAST: SE Dyncaster DCM8 https://amzn.to/3SEWnkM Satechi Hub: https://amzn.to/4bhuDtD Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro https://amzn.to/3HfOUoM XLR Cables: https://amzn.to/3SJyIje Focusrite Clarett+: https://amzn.to/3UpqrSM Sony ZV E10 Mk 11 https://amzn.to/3MLXcnO Elgato Camlink: https://amzn.to/4bjgYCe Aputure Amaran 200d LED Video Light: https://amzn.to/4bhFXGe Aputure Light Box Mini: https://amzn.to/3u55T7m
