Hello Podcasters,
In this tutorial, you will learn how to list your podcast sponsorships, advertisements and interviews in the Podvertizer marketplace and how to manage your sales process and clients communication.
1. Podcast formats, positioning & lengths types:
I. First, you need to know the main podcast format types:
A) Host-Read sponsorship: This is a sponsorship text message, which is read or rephrased by the host during the podcast. This format is great for building initial brand awareness and user engagement, as the message read and implemented by the host sounds native to its audience and builds trust.
B) Pre-Recorded (commercial) advertisement: This is a pre-recorded commercial ad that you send (a file) to the podcast host to include within the podcast. This format is great for product promotional campaigns (of already known brands) and works best with discount % coupons to incentivize users to do emotional purchases.
C) Sponsored (paid) Interview: This is a sponsored/paid interview in a specific podcast episode that usually includes your name/brand within the title. This format is great for building an active & relevant audience and transfer a portion from the podcast listeners to start following your brand podcast/newsletter/social page/website etc. This model works best when you do series of podcast interviews, which makes you a known expert within an industry and builds up your reputation.
D) Product exchange for a review: This is a sponsorship exchange for a product from the advertiser brand without extra payment. This is a widespread model that helps both sides to start a partnership without the hassle of upfront payment and an easy initial transaction of trust. That way the process starts much faster and advertisers can easily track performance and decide with which podcasts to go into further paid campaigns. The pricing of this review should cost very low to 0.
II. Then, you have different podcast advertisement positioning:
A) Pre-Roll: This is when the advertisement is hosted at the beginning of the podcast.
B) Mid-Roll: This is when the advertisement is hosted in the breaks of the podcast.
C) Post-Roll: This is when the advertisement is hosted at the end of the podcast.
III. Then, you have different podcast advertisement lengths:
A) Up to 30 seconds
B) Up to 60 seconds
C) Up to 90 seconds
D) Up to 120 seconds
Once you know those main options, you can list your offers in multiple formats & styles. We will show you the most famous ones.
