And what I think doing ads on other people's podcast is way more effective than running ads on Facebook, Instagram, Google ads, for your podcast, okay, I'm not against using these other platforms for your launches, and your promotions and your live events and all those other things. But when it comes to ads for your podcast, I think the best place to invest your dollars is on platforms where people are going to hear it on someone else's podcast, like if you already have someone you have a captive audience that they are proving to you they already listened to a podcast, then the percentage of them transitioning over to your show is so much higher than you running ads to let's say an Instagram audience and you're like shooting in the dark as to whether or not they even listen to podcasts on a regular basis. Right? You don't know that you have no idea they could be you know, they only consume content on YouTube or on Tik Tok. And all of a sudden you're like, I just wasted a bunch of money on ads, and they're not converting. Whereas with Buzzsprout ads, I see the ability to create ads and you're playing them on other Buzzsprout podcast. This is what is so stinking cool. So I have a lot of resources and Really cool stuff that I'm going to share in the show notes. So KrystalProffitt.com/episode358 is where you're gonna find all the Buzzsprout articles that they have. And they have some really awesome YouTube content that I'm gonna link to, as well as some of my own YouTube demonstration videos that I've created. They're not out yet, but they will be coming out over the next few weeks. So once those are live, I'll link to those in the show notes as well. But let's dive into why they did this. So if you go to buzzsprout.com, forward slash ads, you're going to see all the information that I'm going over today, but I know a lot of you were like, Krystal, give me the highlights give me the important stuff I need to know. So one of the things that they have as soon as you land on this page is a quote that says 45% of weekly listeners learn about new podcast from other podcast. This is from the Westwood, Westwood one podcast report. And I think it's so interesting if you take a pause for a second and ask yourself, Where do I learn about other podcast? It's probably from another show. Like if you listen to this show, and you heard Aubrey Malik's recent episode, maybe you wouldn't listen to her show. Or maybe you've heard someone previously here that you've never heard of anywhere else. And now you're like, oh, you know what I think gonna go check out their podcast. It's how I learned about other podcasts. I hear it from other people, or people that are on other shows that I listen to like that is where I learned about other podcast. So the idea here is you're creating creating ads that are going to be placed on other podcasts distributed on"},{"speaker":"Creating Ads as a Promoter","startTime":345.06,"endTime":541.2,"body":"Buzzsprout."},{"speaker":"Optimized MidRoll Placement","startTime":541.38,"endTime":572.924,"body":"And"},{"speaker":"Optimized MidRoll Placement","startTime":541.38,"endTime":572.924,"body":"so what Buzzsprout did is they"},{"speaker":"Optimized MidRoll Placement","startTime":573.8520000000001,"endTime":630.446,"body":"created this technology that"},{"speaker":"Optimized MidRoll Placement","startTime":573.8520000000001,"endTime":630.446,"body":"allows for an optimized mid roll"},{"speaker":"Optimized MidRoll Placement","startTime":631.374,"endTime":682.402,"body":"placement. So what this does,"},{"speaker":"Optimized MidRoll Placement","startTime":631.374,"endTime":682.402,"body":"and I'm just reading this"},{"speaker":"Find Listeners Interested in YOUR Topic","startTime":677.28,"endTime":830.01,"body":"So what Buzzsprout ads does is it connects you with shows in your podcast categories to make sure you get in front of the right listeners. So it reaches audiences interested in your specific category. So for instance, and I'm going to go through exactly which categories the profit podcast is listed. But I wouldn't want my show listed in a football or sports category. That doesn't make any sense. Why would someone who has a football podcast want to air an advertisement for something about my show? I mean, I guess it could work, right? Like maybe there would be a few people. But I think that my show would be better suited for entrepreneurship, marketing, education, how to because those are the categories where my podcast already lives. And then another thing that I want to make very, very clear I'm gonna throw out some disclaimers here, because maybe there's some of you that are listening and you're like, wait, I have a Buzzsprout podcast? Does this mean that they're just going to start shoving ads like other players do, I'm not going to name names. But come on, you know, I'm talking about there's other places out there that will throw ads in front of your content, whether it's a podcast, or it's a video, like, we've all seen this, where you see something that's monetized. And you're like, Wait, I don't think that that person even knows that that ad is there, because it does not align with the messaging that they have. Like, it's one of those where I will never forget my mom telling me this because she's really into gardening. And she was saying, you know, it's all organic. She uses all organic, like, sprays and oils, and different stuff like that, that is natural for her garden. But then she started seeing on some of her videos or videos related to her like organic way of gardening. There were roundup and all these, like really highly toxic chemicals that were being promoted on herself. And she was like, What the hell, like, seriously, this is getting promoted on my stuff like, This is so not incongruent. Or wait, it is incongruent with what what I'm all about. And so this is your disclaimer that Buzzsprout won't do this, they won't put anything on your show that you haven't previously said yes to. So I wanted to make that very abundantly"},{"speaker":"Find Listeners Interested in YOUR Topic","startTime":677.28,"endTime":830.01,"body":"clear."},{"speaker":"Find Listeners Interested in YOUR Topic","startTime":683.329,"endTime":739.924,"body":"verbatim what Buzzsprout has on"},{"speaker":"Find Listeners Interested in YOUR Topic","startTime":683.329,"endTime":739.924,"body":"their site, it says mid rolls"},{"speaker":"Find Listeners Interested in YOUR Topic","startTime":740.852,"endTime":791.879,"body":"are the most valuable ad"},{"speaker":"Find Listeners Interested in YOUR Topic","startTime":740.852,"endTime":791.879,"body":"placements and account for 76%"},{"speaker":"Find Listeners Interested in YOUR Topic","startTime":792.807,"endTime":849.402,"body":"of podcast ad revenue.

I do have a YouTube video coming out about this as me recording this. It's not out but it is coming out soon, where I'm showing you step by step, what I did to create my second ad for them, because when the beta launch happened, I did send them like my audio file and the texts that I wanted. I didn't love it, y'all. There's some really good examples of how you can create a really good ad on the main page. Mine wasn't on there. And I think it's because I didn't love what I did. They probably didn't love what I did. So it's okay, it's no harm, no harm done, no hurt feelings, but I'm just like, he really wasn't that good. So now that I've created one I learned from it. What you have to do in order to run an ad on Buzzsprout ads is step one. And again, all this is going to be listed in the show notes. So again, KrystalProffitt.com/episode358. But what you have to do is, number one, create a 40 second promotional ad. And it has to be 40 seconds. I like tried to squeeze in 42 seconds and a 45 second clip, Nope, it's got to be 40 seconds or less. I think it's between 12 and 40 seconds. And you're like Krystal that sounds really short. It is really short. It's meant to be a very quick call to action, something that will compel someone to go check out your podcast. And here's my recommendation and I talk about this more in depth and actually show you what my the whole ad is in my YouTube video. But what I did, too, because I'm just like, well, what am I supposed to say, you know, if you've never done an ad before, and you're totally lost, you're like I have no idea of where do I even start? Start with the information that you have in your podcast description in your Buzzsprout settings. So navigate it Were to your settings in or your podcast info. And then look at your description. This is typically where you'll say, what your show is about who your audience is for, start with something like that, but have an intentional call to action that says, if you're this type of listener, then you would really enjoy the profit podcast. So make sure you click the link in the show notes to go listen today. That's a very simple call to action, but it is part of what I included in my ad. And again, just be on the lookout for the YouTube video that's going to show you all the things that I did to create my 42nd promotional ad. So after that's done, you will need to create some ad text. So this is what's going to show in other Buzzsprout podcast and if you're listening to this today, there may be podcasts that are being advertised. As you're listening, maybe you maybe you just heard one, maybe you're about to hear one, but you will see that the podcast artwork changes. So if you're listening on Apple podcast, or Spotify, you will see when one of these ads happen, the artwork changes. It goes from the profit podcast, to the podcast that is running an ad on this show. And it's going to have an headline, as well as a link that's like a text that's in the episode description where you're listening, I'm not talking about in the show notes I'm talking about in the episode description on your phone on your device where you're listening, it's gonna say at the bottom, like under the description that I typically write for my show. It's it's like an episode description of everything we're going to talk about here today. And then underneath that, it is going to be in there, there's going to be a title of the show and a link describing what that podcast is about. It's also going to have some subscribe links to the directories where someone could click on that. And immediately go listen, all of this is laid out in the link that I'm going to share with you for you to go learn more about Buzzsprout ads. So you don't have to like memorize everything I just said they're all going to be in the show notes too. But I just wanted to share a little bit about what to expect for you to have ready before you ever go and create an ad like these are some of the things that you should think about, maybe brainstorm some of the best ways that you can have a quick call to action or information that you can share. Think about it in a Google Doc or somewhere else, maybe you have someone that you can brainstorm this with. But once that's done, you'll actually go through the process of creating an ad. And you'll have to upload your audio, you'll have to put in all the information that we just talked about. And then you'll have to choose your target audience. Now when it comes to your target audience, this means you're going to be selecting the age range. So it's like the demographic information about who your podcast is targeting. Right? Who are you trying to reach? Who's your ideal audience? So for me, I put all ages so mine isn't restricted to just 24 to 45 year olds, right? Anybody could listen to this podcast and find value, and then all sexes. So there might be some podcast and yours can be included in that where it's mostly a male audience, or mostly a female audience for my content. It's not gender specific at all, like you could, you know, be anything and listen to this podcast. And then also the categories. Oh, wait, hang on. Sorry, I skipped over one. That's an important one. And the next one is profanity. This one was a good choice, I think on their part simply because you could listen to a podcast, and then hear a promotion on there. And then all of a sudden, there's a ton of profanity, please don't put a bunch of profanity in your ad. I don't care if you cuss on your podcast, but don't put a bunch of profanity on your ad because it's less likely that someone will select that unless that they're totally open to it, it's fine. But I would just go with the default of not having a bunch of profanity in the 42nd ad that you're gonna run. And then just letting people know, like, Hey, this is typically explicit, because you can mark that as your target audience, people that don't care if your show is explicit. Okay, then the next thing to talk about. So for my show, I put occasional right because we're not totally clean around here. But we're also not an explicit podcast. So I put the occasional profanity is what you will find on this show. And then for categories, we talked a little bit about this earlier, but you want to make sure that you are selecting something that is going to align with your target audience. You're my target audience isn't a football, like maybe I'll do love football, but that's not what you listen to this show. You are likely interested in how to stuff marketing, entrepreneurship business. These are the reasons why you listen to this podcast. And so therefore, those are the podcast, I am trying to target the How to category, the entrepreneurship, the business and marketing. Those are the ones where I would love for those shows to play my ad. All right. And then the last thing is you have to choose your promotional plan. Now, this is the big disclaimer. And this is the big thing that I really want to make sure you pay attention to here. Because on the website, when you're signing up for ads, it will say, you can buy 5000 downloads for $100. What does that mean? This does not mean that you are buying downloads for your podcast, I just want to make this like abundantly clear that you are not buying downloads. So if I pay them $100, I'm not going to see 5000 downloads show up in my stats on the profit podcast. That is not what is happening. What is happening is when you pay for 5000 downloads, it means that you are paying for every time someone plays an ad for your podcast. Does this mean that I'm reaching 5000? individual people? No, no, because on my show, you'll hear an ad maybe. Let's say you binge listen to three episodes, you might hear an ad for the same podcast. And those are three different episodes or three different downloads, where you are hearing that ad, those are three different downloads. All right, that's not just one person. And then that digit only counts once because it's one IP address, it counts forever single download. But for those of you that are brand new to advertising or to marketing, especially you know paid advertising, then what it's doing is you will see multiple ads, if you're running Instagram ads, or maybe you're like you're on your Facebook, and you see the same year on cash. I've seen this, I see this ad all the time. There's a reason for that y'all, it takes more than someone hearing something or seeing something one time for some things to really click, maybe someone needs to hear your like your ad three times in a row for the Nabil Kido Ed, I liked the sound of her voice or I like her vibe, I liked the things that she's covering on her podcast, maybe I should go check it out. So I am completely fine that this is based on per downloads, and not per person. So I just wanted to do some clarification on that. So what I did, and I'm actually I'm really excited because I'm going to run like a debrief of what happened after I started running ads. So what I opted to do, and this is what I show you in my YouTube video, I signed up for the 10,000 Download plan, which right now all of their ads are discounted as it's like the roll out because they're launching it. I don't know when they're gonna change that. Let me throw that out as a disclaimer, like, Don't come at me and say You said it was this price, but it was this now, what I did is I bought 10,000 downloads for $140. It is typically $200. But it's at a discount. It's 30% off right now, again, I don't know how long it's gonna last. If you're listening to this a few years from now, I have no idea what the price is going to be. But that's what it is right now in 2022 when I'm recording this episode, so the price is stagger from 5000 downloads for $100 or 70 bucks right now, like if you want to get started with ads, you could pay $70. And your ad would be downloaded 5000 times. Amazing, right? Like super, super cool. Or you could scale all the way up to 50,000 for $1,000 or $700 right now. And y'all just to be clear, I don't get paid for promoting this. They're not paying me to promote this. I'm just really excited because this is super cheap. This is very, very cheap. Have you ever run ads on Facebook and Instagram? It's kind of a crapshoot on whether you're really going to get like the most bang for your buck. This is on average two cents per download. So that's, that could potentially be two cents per lead of people that are coming to your podcast to listen. And who knows, maybe they won't all turn into long like lifelong Subscribers are people that stick around for months and months and months. But again, you could get started for $70 for 5000 downloads as an experiment. So maybe you need to save up to make this happen. But I recommend everybody listening to this to try it, I think if you are willing, and that's sometimes what paid advertising is, it's a gamble. Your $70 is way, way cheaper than it is to gamble on other paid advertising platforms where you're not sure if you're ever going to see a return or your copy could be terrible on Instagram, or it could get rejected 1000 times on Facebook as you're trying to run an ad or it's not shown to the right audience like you are going to be advertising to podcast listeners, to other people that already listen to podcast. So the percentages of you having a good marketing outcome are so much higher, starting with ads this way. Okay, now we're gonna flip the script. I know this is going to be a super long episode. Today. I warn y'all at the beginning, because we're at you know, we're almost at 30 minutes here, and we're just halfway through.

Now, again, I'm going to read a lot of this language that is straight from bus sprouts website. And I'm going to link to it again, the show notes, KrystalProffitt.com/episode358. I'm gonna link to all this information. But I'm just going to start from the top. So Buzzsprout states get paid with Buzzsprout ads, and they let you know that this is the beta version. This is what you're going to see if you navigate over your in your Buzzsprout account. And you go over to podcast monetization. This is what you're going to see everything that I'm reading here today is going to be what you see there. So it says make money by promoting other podcasts on your show. Buzzsprout ads allow you to run advertisements for other podcast within your episodes. It's easy, you have full control. I said that weird, full control, and you get paid. So what they're talking about here is you are monetizing your podcast through Buzzsprout. So you don't have to go out and find sponsors, find people that will pay you to play ads on your show like you are complete control of how this works. So as new ads enter the system, you'll be given an opportunity to review the ad before deciding to approve or decline. So if you approve the ad, the system will begin inserting the ad into your episodes, you can change your mind at any point and the system will remove the ad. And as I've started adding, and declining ads, there's something that you should know. So before you like anything gets played on your show, you get to listen to it, you can see the title and you can see the descriptions. So we talked about that earlier, when someone's creating ad, you have to have your title, your headline, and a description, you get to see all of that. So if at any point, you listen to audio, and you're like, Ah, this audio is terrible, you can put that because there's actually a place for feedback. When you declined something it will say it's not a good fit, you're not interested, it was poor audio quality. Or another reason that you just they're trying to learn as much as they can as this rolls out. But typically what happens for me is my podcast, monetization will be full of all these new ads. And I'll listen to them. And for the most part, I go with my gut feeling. And I'm like, that's just not a good fit for my audience. Or oh my gosh, the audio quality is terrible on this, I would never want to run this on my show. Or I read just the top headline, I don't even listen to it. And I'm like this, no, this is not a good fit for my audience. So you have all the control, which I think is amazing. But then you click you know, add this ad and then it goes to another section. But if at any point, you're like, you know what? I thought about it, I slept on it. I don't really want that out on my show, take it off, you just hit this button and it removes it. Very, very cool, super intuitive, easy to use. So let's keep going. So it says all ads are from like minded podcasters. So Buzzsprout ads, look for podcasts in similar categories to find the best matches. This ensures that the content will be interesting to your audience and effective for the advertiser. Again, you don't want to be on a football podcast if your show is about cooking, and you're like this. This doesn't you know, The Art of French Cooking. I just Julia Child just popped into my head. I'm just like, I don't know that that would translate super well to like a fantasy football podcast, but I'm just throwing it out there.

So all ads pay the same. It's 1.4 cents USD per monetized download. So when the beta, I just said 1.4 cents. Yeah, that's right. Okay. I was like, wait, I think I read that was wrong, but no, it's good. It says when the beta concludes, will provide options for you to click Collect your earnings. So this is actually a question that I asked, we have like a chat setup for all the Buzzsprout creators, and I sent this to them today, actually. And I was like, Hey, I see that I have a balance already have like $24, that's like hanging out in my balance. And I said, How is this going to be paid out? In, they were like we're working on that it's going to happen, they're gonna have some sort of Buzzsprout wallet set up, I don't know all the details about how this is all going to work. But you're going to have a way to collect your earnings, I don't know if that's going to be a Pay Pal system that they set up to where they pay you via PayPal once a month, or as you reach a certain thresholds, those are some of the details that haven't completely been worked out. But again, this just rolled out. So they are still fine tuning some of the things that they need to figure out before everything is working like a well oiled machine. But again, I'm just excited that this money is going to cover some of my expenses. That's what I'm really excited about. I'm like, Oh, I have like three software's that I need to cover every single month that are pretty pricey. And I'm like, You know what, this might be the thing that covers these, it's probably not going to make me millions of dollars, or even 1000s of dollars having these ads on my podcast, but it will improve the idea of having sponsors on my show.

I know it's the unfortunate, like, I guess I saved the worst part of it for last instead of saying I saved the best for last, because some of you are gonna come at me and say Krystal, I don't have that. I can't do it yet. But that's the thing is the word yet. Maybe you don't have these eligibility requirements yet. But at the same time, these are totally doable. They are absolutely not unreasonable for Buzzsprout to have these qualifications, not like you have to have 10,000 subscribers on Instagram, like you used to to have the swipe up feature that nobody was happy about. Yeah, I still don't have 10,000 people on YouTube, YouTube, y'all I said, subscribers, you know what I meant followers on Instagram. Y'all Y'all know what I'm talking about? Right? We used to have to have 10,000 followers on Instagram to get the swipe up feature. That's not cool. Come on. Like that's, that's not fun for anybody. Now they have the link feature, and anybody can put a link on their stories, which is incredible. Amazing. So what's going on here is you have to have this is step number one, step number one, you have to have five published episodes. So if you're just getting started, you got to have at least five episodes. The second requirement is you have to have 1000 downloads in the last 30 days. Now some of you are like Krystal, I'm not there, I am not there yet. Again, let's use the word yet, because you can get there. Because the more downloads or the more you keep podcasting, the more downloads you will have, because most of my downloads today aren't necessarily from the episode that are recently published, like this episode won't get 1000 downloads in the next 30 days. But the other episodes, the backlog of episodes, those are still getting found. So let's pretend that someone hears an ad on someone else's show, they find my show. They're gonna go back and listen to the backlog of episodes. They're not just going to listen to the latest episode, they're going to say, What else does she have on here? Because this is what I do. When I find a new podcast, I scroll through their backlog and I'm like, Oh my gosh, they had that guest. This is what they talk about. Of course, I'm gonna go listen to it. So just keep that in mind. If you're not there yet. If you don't have 1000 downloads in the last 30 days, don't sweat it, you can absolutely get there. And then number three, the third eligibility requirement is your episodes have to be at least 23 minutes long. This is one of those like wall wall because it won't apply to everybody because if you're like well Krystal, my episodes are only 15 minutes long. Well then you can't monetize Buzzsprout ads. I don't know like I can't go and plead to the team and say but please just let this one podcast like there's no budging on this. It has to do with the tool that allows for the mid roll insertion. from the technical standpoint, that's all I know, I don't know anything else because my other podcast, the potty report isn't eligible. If you've listened to it, it's five minutes or less? Why would it make sense to have a 42nd ad on a five minute or less podcast. So if there's a three minute episode, you're gonna take up like, seconds, 40 seconds to play an ad on a three minute episode, it doesn't make sense. So I get it from that standpoint in the How to draw a line somewhere, and apparently, it was at 23 minutes. So that's what I know about that. Then the fourth requirement is you have to have a verified email, this shouldn't be an issue. If you are an active Buzzsprout user, I'm sure you've already verified your email. And that's not a problem. But it's something that they have to put out there that you must have a verified email address. Number five, your show has to be in three podcast categories. Now, the reason for this, and this is my assumption. So I guess I shouldn't say the reason my assumption for why they did this is because they want you to have the most options possible. And you can't really do that if you only have one category. So if you are only in one category for your podcast, I highly recommend you going back and opting in to have at least three categories related to what your podcast is about. So go into your settings and choose three categories for your podcast. And then the sixth and final requirement that you have to have is you have to be on a paid plan for Buzzsprout. So unfortunately, if you're on a free plan, you can't monetize your podcast, I understand that I get why this is happening, because they don't want you just making money. And you're not even paying to use their platform, like monetize your podcast, and then that could pay for your podcast hosting, because like I said, I've already hit I think it was like $24 When I checked it before I started recording this episode, that would pay for the most expensive plan on Buzzsprout. Right there. And it's only been I think, like a week that I started monetizing. So it's absolutely doable to make some cash and have it pay for your Buzzsprout plan at the at the bare minimum. Y'all My throat hurts from speaking for 40 something minutes at this point, we covered so so much. And there's just so much more to talk about. I am running ads. Now as a podcast host, I created my first ads. I started running them this week when I'm recording this. So I'm excited to tell you all the things that I learned. I'm experimenting and playing around with the tool. And I just can't wait to see I can't wait to share what happens. I feel very positive. That's going to be all good news. Whenever we figure out what's happening, how this impacted the podcast, how it grew, and all the things so stay tuned. Like I said, Be on the lookout for some YouTube videos related to Buzzsprout ads. They're going to be coming out in the next few weeks. And I'll be sure to add them to the show notes here once they are out. But reach out if you have any other questions like send me a DM on Instagram, shoot me an email, I would love to know if you have anything specific that you want to see in an upcoming podcast episode or YouTube video because I'm learning right along with you.
