Marketing is beyond you sir. You guys should stay in your lane if you dont know about it

But at least I can take the time to spell out "obviously". That has to account for something.

Nah, just trying to help some E friends make some money. Podcasts are the easiest thing to monetize ever. (as I mentioned)

Podcasts are the most saturated media market on earth right now. You'd be better off starting a newspaper.

Yes they are.
No you would not.

Podcasts are the easiest to monetize. I mentioned in the first few posts. Content does not matter. It makes no matter. Marketing 101- you are not selling/pitching the product. You are only selling opportunity cost/opportunity acquisition. That is it.

I could follow your lead and start a podcast tomorrow about reviewing hanging file cabinet folders and it would fail no matter what you say. There has to be a demand.

Your podcast would probably fail yes. But again that is not the point. The point is marketing. The point is to monetize.
It does not matter what the podcast is about. We are not building a business here. We are monetizing.

The more someone guarantees what an easy money making opportunity is, the less I believe them. For someone who is such a self-proclaimed expert in marketing, you are doing a piss poor job selling anyone here on this!

Say more businessy buzz words to show us how smart you are!

I don't feel qualified to argue with UR. What I can tell you that is that my experiences are anecdotal. But, the podcast I did was in a genre where a lot of people did try, and almost all failed. No one really wants to listen to a podcast about domestic violence. It's not like listening to an unsolved mystery, or someone dropping historical knowledge, or a gambling expert.

I'm a good public speaker and good conversationalist. I couldn't convince people to listen to that shit consistently. Does that mean my failures aren't my own? Nope. But I can tell you this: there are podcasts that ran for years that had some following and they mostly closed down because they had to be self-funded. Sponsors weren't/aren't dying to have their name attached to domestic violence stuff either. Mostly.

I'm not saying UR is wrong. I'm saying I think we wanted different things and have/had different goals.

Even IF UR is right and you can just create a podcast about nothing and "monetize" it, he's basically advocating to just scam whomever gives you this money out of their money. Because it's obviously going to be a bad investment on this third party's end if your only reason for starting said podcast is to suck money out of this mysterious 3rd party. Seems like a shady way at best to make a quick buck, but if you can do it and sleep well at night, more power to you I guess!

Great marketing can only sustain a shit product for so long.

Who cares if the product is good if you're just in it to scam a quick buck off someone!
