Whether you've built your audience through content creation or by way of leveraging national media exposure, you have a massive opportunity in podcasting to expand your brand and business beyond the confines of social media. In this episode, I share my thoughts about what to consider when deciding between starting your podcast independently vs. signing with a network, how you can make money through sponsorships and listener support while waiting on your dream network offer, how to ensure you have massive leverage going into your first podcast network negotiation, and so much more! Ultimately, you'll need to assess the network offers coming into your inbox on a case-by-case basis (as there's no one-size-fits-all), but this episode is designed to help you ask the right questions when your first offer hits your inbox!
