WEEKLY RECAP: From Idea to Income in 27 Days

Notes from Chris

Episode 267

LISTENER SHOUTOUTS & QUESTIONS:

This week we have a listener check in from Karlin and a listener question from Andres:

• Karlin: Hi Chris! Just wanted to say thanks for a great podcast. We've been listening in traffic while trying to escape Hurricane Irma. Wish us luck! Thanks for the inspiration and for saving our sanity

• Andres: Andres is looking to use his side hustle as a means for forming meaningful connections with other people in his line of work by sharing his knowledge and experience and hearing their stories as well. He'd like to do this in the form of a podcast, and he has two questions: 1) how do you know when a podcast is established enough that you can go and ask for sponsorship without being laughed out of the room, and 2) what is the best way for you to package up a podcast to show the business value to a potential advertiser so that they can understand why they should sponsor your show?
  If you're looking to create a podcast like Andres, you may be interested in checking out your sponsorship options. This guide from my friend, John Lee Dumas, can help you demystify the things you can do to monetize your podcast

If you have something you'd like to ask me or an update you'd like to share, I'd love to hear from you! Leave me a voice message on the website or call into the Side Hustle Hotline (Dial 844-9-HUSTLE // 844-948-7853), and your question may be featured on the show!
