Your Podcast WILL NOT Make Money with Sponsorships: Ways to Actually Grow and Monetize Your Podcast [Melissa Guller]

by | Nov 10, 2021 | Podcast

When you start a podcast, growing and auience and monetizing your podcast are probably two topics you’re most interested in. This usually means heavily promoting on social media (to grow the audience) and then trying to get sponsorships (to make the money). Today, Melissa Guller, host of the Wit & Wire Podcast, is here to debunk both of these myths and set the record straight.

Show Notes

Melissa Guller is the founder of Wit & Wire and host of the Wit & Wire Podcast.

After working for Teachable (a marketplace for selling online courses) for several years as Director of Marketing Engagement and working as Senior Launch Manager for Ramit Sethi, Melissa decided to take her knowledge of course creation and podcasting to build her own brand.

Now, Melissa teaches others how to start, grow, and monetize their own podcasts through the online courses that she offers on Wit & Wire.

During the interview with Melissa, we cover two very important topics that every new podcaster is interested in: 1) growing an audience and 2) monetizing your podcast.

Melissa debunks several myths out there surrounding podcast growth and monetization, and she even shares her own revenue percentages with us to help prove that sponsorships will not be the “magic sauce” that builds your 6-figure business.
