Ready to be a FEATURED SPONSOR on PodQuest!
It's super easy, incredibly valuable, and well worth the investment!
Check out the instructions below to see what would be required for you to be a Featured Sponsor and get the additional promos on The PodQuest Show. Also, in order to fully capitalize on our offer, you should also take advantage of your included 30-second Promo-Bite.
FOR YOUR INTERVIEW
SEND US YOUR BIO
In 150 words or less, tell us about yourself, your show, and provide a link to your website and other social media.
JOIN MICHAEL ON ZOOM
We record these episodes on both video and audio, and we may release the video on a future YouTube channel.
FOR YOUR SPONSOR SPOTS
SEND US YOUR SCRIPT
Keep it to approximately 60-seconds when read aloud, understanding that our host will edit it to be a natural read.
SEND US YOUR LINK
Whether it's a lead-magnet or a paid offer, we need to know where to send the listeners.
SEND SOCIAL MEDIA COPY
Please provide short snippets about your offer that we can post on Facebook and Twitter.
SEND ANY OTHER ARTWORK
If you have a graphic or logo that goes along with your offer, send us that as well.
FOR YOUR PROMO-BITE
WRITE YOUR SCRIPT
In 30 seconds or less, tell our listeners what your show is about, what they can expect to get from tuning in, and why they should subscribe. If you have an intro episode or a favorite one they should listen to - let them know!
RECORD YOUR SPOT
Take up to the full 30-seconds, but no less than 20. Do NOT exceed 30 seconds. Profanity is okay, as our show already has an explicit rating, but please keep it reasonable.
SEND US YOUR FILE
Please send the completed spot in either .wav or .mp3 format, in the best quality you can create to [email protected]. We will place your clip into a multitrack session and would like to start with top-notch audio.
SEND SHOW ART & BIO
Also, please send us your show artwork (1400px x 1400px @ 72ppi) and a short bio, as well as the best link to your podcast. We will post your artwork on our website and have it linked to your show accordingly.
Send all corresponsdence to [email protected]
We will let you know when your Featured Sponsor episode and Promo-Bite is going to go "live". Please see the FAQs below for further details about the spot and what you can and cannot expect.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you have not yet sent us any swipe copy or booked your time slot to record, you may request a refund (less a processing fee of $25). Once the work has begun in adjusting the ad copy and recording your episode, there is no longer a refund option.
No. We have limited space for these podcast promos, and we run a tight schedule for the show in general. If you cannot express everything you need to say about your show in 30 seconds, you could buy two promo-bites and stack them.
We usually release just one Guest Interview Episode per month, so depending on how many we have in the queue, it could be up to 3 or 4 months before it goes "live".
We'll release your Promo-Bite on the episode immediately prior to your Guest Appearance. This way, you'll get twice the promo as we also give mention that you'll be featured in the upcoming show.
We will run your sponsorship spots in the two episodes immediately following your guest appearance. Combined with your Promo-Bite on the episode prior, you will be talked about in four consecutive episodes - capitalizing on both Reach & Frequency.
Absolutely not! We never go back to edit prior episodes unless there is some extenuating circumstance. So, unless you've plagiarized your spot (and you don't even own the show you talked about), your Promo-Bite will live for years to come.
Not at all. The finished product will be exported as mono, so however you want to send it to us is fine on our end. That said, we do want to begin with the best quality you can muster. Like a photograph, we want to at least start with a higher resolution.
Since the majority of podcast listeners use Apple Podcasts, we highly recommend that you send us the link to your show in Apple. This will also work best for your ranking, if we drive a lot of new listeners (and hopefully subscribers) to your show there.
There are many circumstances in which you may want to do more than one Promo-Bite:
- You have more than one show
- You feel the need to do more than a 30-second spot
- You want to gain frequency by promoting on several episodes over time
You may certainly purchase as many Promo-bites as you wish, and we may even offer package rates at some point in the future.
Under most circumstances, the answer would be no. At the current discounted rate, we are unable to add any more personal touch (i.e. scheduling considerations) right now. This may change in the future or be added as an optional upgrade. Feel free to contact us if you really need a specific date.
