Hi Ladies 🙂
I’m in the process of seeking out sponsors for my show and I’ve been live for almost 2 months with 9 episodes on iTunes and Stitcher. I’m seeking them out early as I want to create a sort of urgency and exclusivity to brands. The brands I am reaching out to are pregnancy-related ones like apps, maternity clothes, baby clothes, maternity accessories like diaper bags and many baby brands. Last week I reached out to 20 and already received responses from 5. They want to know stats and pricing for the sponsorship. I wanted to use Cliff Ravenscraft’s suggestions that he gives in his show episode #366, as he suggests never to provide stats. However, brands are asking for them and I feel that to not provide them would seem extremely evasive. I’m fine with rejection so if they say no now, I will try again later when I have more of a listenership.
I’m responding to them tonight. I’ll keep you posted on their response!
I love your show. I listen every week! xoxo

This episode was my introduction to your podcast and I’m hooked! I’m in the brainstorming/technical learning curve of putting together my podcast and you addressed some of my biggest concerns. Thank you! I feel ready to move forward with confidence. Oh, and I joined the Facebook group this week, too, and have loved the community there. And yes, I’d love video tutorials on optimizing for the apps.
I have to re-listen to this episode, but as far as Feedburner is concerned, I’ve ditched it for the native RSS feed. It only allowed iTunes to keep 3 shows at any one time. I wasn’t able to fix it in a reasonable amount of time and Google products tend to not be user/non-developer friendly.
I found out later that my podcast wasn’t able to caught by some podcast catchers because of Feedburner. Once I switched, I had listeners thanking me for making my shows available in their favorite app.
Interesting to note, I set the podcast feed for the podcast to be different than my website. That’s not something I could figure out in Feedburner.
