Small Podcast, Big Money: Why You Don’t Need 10k Followers to Monetize with Dany Albertina
What if your next client discovered you on YouTube — not Instagram? In this high-value episode of the Ready Set Coach Podcast, Lexie flips the mic and interviews podcast producer, consultant, and YouTube strategist Dany Albertina. Based in Buenos Aires and fluent in both Taylor Swift and retention metrics, Dany breaks down exactly why every coach should be leveraging podcasting as a visibility and lead-nurturing tool.
Packed with behind-the-scenes consulting tips, this conversation covers how to use open loops, timestamps, and binge-worthy formats to keep listeners hooked, and why Kristen Davis’ podcast (yes, Charlotte from Sex and the City) missed the mark on YouTube. Dany also breaks down what Kylie Kelce did right when launching her show Not Gonna Lie — and understanding how to make content binge-worthy with open loops and retention-driven hooks, Dany shares the same growth strategies she uses with her clients. Expect zero fluff and all facts — including how even small podcasts can monetize from month one, why your follower count is overrated.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why should coaches start a podcast — even if no one’s listening yet?
- What makes an engaging podcast format in 2025?
- How do you use retention strategies to grow on YouTube
- How do you turn a podcast into a lead-nurturing machine?
- How do you monetize a podcast without a huge following?
