Welcome to another episode of *Delaware Blogger Podcast*, Episode #352
This is a show where we dive into all things podcasting. I'm your host, Antionette Blake, and today, I've got a topic that's near and dear to the hearts of many podcasters: the pros and cons of podcast advertising, especially when you're just starting out.
Let's start with the good stuff, the pros that make podcast advertising a tantalizing option for podcasters, even if you're just starting out.

1. Monetization**

2. Exposure and Growth

3. Validation

4. Networking Opportunities
Now, let's flip the coin and talk about the cons of podcast advertising, especially for those of us who are still finding our footing in the podcasting world.

1. Listener Annoyance

2. Pressure to Deliver

3. Relevance and Fit

4. Time and Effort
In the world of podcasting, advertising can be a double-edged sword, offering financial rewards and potential growth while presenting challenges like listener annoyance and relevance. As you start your podcasting journey, carefully weigh the pros and cons, and remember that there's no one-size-fits-all approach.

Ultimately, the decision to incorporate advertising into your podcast should align with your goals and your audience's preferences. If done right, podcast advertising can be a win-win, benefiting both you and your listeners.
That's a wrap for today's episode of the Delaware Blogger Podcast. I hope you found this discussion insightful as you navigate the exciting world of podcast advertising, especially when you're just starting out. If you enjoyed the episode, don't forget to subscribe, share, and leave me a review, tell your family, your friends, your bae and boo too!

Thanks for tuning in, and until next time, happy podcasting, everyone! 🎙️🎧

I know you have heard this question before, "What is Your Why?" Well today, I am asking, “What is your WOW?”You can be a doctor, a lawyer, a preacher, a teacher, a coach, a Grio or even a self-proclaimed Guru, and you probably have something to share with others and have thought about starting a podcast.As a podcast host and coach I encourage people to enroll in my 5-Week Podcasting Your Purpose Podcasting Sessions to get started, however, I also know that hosting your own podcast show can be time consuming. When creating a podcast you have to be consistent with your content on a weekly basis; schedule guests, write show notes, publish and promote your show which can seem like a full time job.
If you are a boomer and beyond, some of us may have difficulty learning the techie stuff, like normalizing, compressing and uploading an RSS Feed to multiple podcast directories, it can be overwhelming.
However, as a WOW Podcast Champion with EC Podcast Media , you can create a 3 to 5 minutes podcast to educate, inspire and motivate others without doing all the heavy lifting, you are just talking and sending the content to the producers at EC Podcast Media.

Do you send out a podcast newsletter? If not, why not?

In this episode of the Delaware Blogger Podcast I share 4 reasons why you and should and the Purpose of a Podcast Newsletter.

A podcast newsletter is an email sent out regularly to promote your podcast. You can send a podcast newsletter out for every new episode or as a roundup for multiple episodes which I do on a monthly basis as a round up of the 4 episodes on Out & About with Antionette.

Your podcast newsletter should do more than just promote your show, however. It should add value to the listener’s experience. The ultimate purpose of a podcast newsletter is to grow your podcast audience.

However, a podcast newsletter can serve several purposes:

1. Create a deeper connection with current listeners.
2. Build an audience
3. Attract new listeners
4. Get in the email box of new listeners
