Getting Sponsors for Your Podcast
Sponsorship is one of the most sought-after goals in podcasting—and one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, Hendrik and Ethan dive into what it really takes to land a sponsor, whether you’re just starting out or growing a niche podcast with a loyal audience.
We tackle the myths around numbers, explain why engagement matters more than downloads, and break down the tools every podcaster needs to pitch professionally—from rate cards to pitch decks. You’ll hear stories from podcasters navigating the sponsorship maze, and insights from Solid Gold Podcasts on what brands actually want.
Real talk, practical tips, and honest experiences from the front lines of podcast monetization.
In this episode:
How to identify and approach the right sponsors
Why niche audiences can be more profitable than large ones
What brands look for in a podcast partnership
What to include in a pitch or rate card
Real-life lessons from Russell Wasserfall and other creators
Spoiler: You don’t need 10,000 listeners to attract a sponsor—you just need the right 500.
