I had mentioned that I think Dan Klass is one of the best story tellers in podcasting. He has won numerous awards for a reason. Go listen now. You won't be sorry. Go meet Dan, Mellisa, Princess Tirade, and Hudson. I don't have many podcast that I listen to years after I started. This is one of those podcasts that the minute it hits my itunes I'm all over it.
Dan has written books on Podcasting and has a large audience. However, he has found what many of us have found. Selling advertisement takes time. CPM is not a way to put your kids through school.
A better solution is to provide a free version of your podcast, and a PREMIUM version. In Dan's case he is going to put out four episodes for Premium Listeners and once a month for "regular" listeners. He's charging $4 a month. (For those that are mathematically challenged that means a buck an episode). Order it here
Dan makes me laugh, cry, think. and more than likely.. smile. To me a smile is worth is a buck.
He is using Premiumcast.com if you're interested (a system that does everything in terms of monetizing your podcast, and I think the next version will do your laundry).
Thanks for your write-up. I would also love to comment that the very first thing you will need to accomplish is determine if you really need fixing credit. To do that you will need to get your hands on a replica of your credit rating. That should never be difficult, since government makes it necessary that you are allowed to get one absolutely free copy of your actual credit report yearly. You just have to check with the right individuals. You can either look into the website for your Federal Trade Commission or maybe contact one of the leading credit agencies immediately.
Highly energetic post, I enjoyed that bit. Will there
be a parrt 2?
