Sponsors, affiliate links, paid promotions, and free products can all be part of making money from your podcast. But your audience deserves to know when there's a commercial relationship behind what you're recommending.
In this episode, I look at why being upfront isn't just about legal requirements - it's also about maintaining the trust you've built with your listeners.

Podcast promotion can promise big numbers, but bigger downloads don't necessarily mean a bigger audience. In this episode, I look at some of the warning signs that your podcast promotion may be generating questionable traffic, why download-to-listener ratios matter, and how inflated numbers can hurt your chances of working with sponsors.
The goal isn't the biggest number you can report. It's building an audience you know is real, and being confident that your analytics reflect it.

Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts and other platforms can be fantastic ways to discover and grow your podcast. But what happens when they change the rules?
In this episode of One Minute Podcast Tips, I look at why it's important to build a direct relationship with your audience, rather than relying entirely on one platform for discovery, growth or monetization.
