I’ll be speaking January 2026 at the 12th annual Podfest Expo in Orlando as part of the Monetization track. I know you’re busy, and I know you want actionable advice now. So, I created this limited-edition audio series to give you tips and advice before we even meet in Florida.

If you have found this podcast, you are likely a podcaster, a creator, or a broadcaster looking for the Holy Grail: how to actually make money from your show..

Specifically, you want to know how to attract high-quality sponsors who actually pay.

We win through differentiation. There are many ways to be different; being a radio broadcaster is one and is the focus of this limited series podcast.

Important items in this limited podcast series:

• The Competition for download numbers

• The authority-shift from podcaster to radio host and how this transforms the psychology of sponsors

• Getting your show on the air: connecting with program directors, station owners, and finding stations in your markets

• How digital ads provide credible leverage to attract sponsors

• A few of the quirks of producing episodes for radio

I’ll have resources available on my website following my talk at the Podfest Expo in Orlando. Follow this link: https://dscottsmith.com/podfest2026
