Our voice is more about what we say and how we sound. Everything we’ve been through in our lives - every struggle, every triumph - shapes our voice and our view on the world. It’s so important to get your voice out there, because you never know what hearing your voice could do for someone who is afraid to share theirs.
Welcome to Should I Start A Podcast where each week Ronsley Vaz, with the help of a star-studded entrepreneurial guest lineup, explores why you should start a podcast, build an audience, and how to keep them hungry for more.
If you’re thinking about starting a podcast or simply looking for a better way to get your message out to your audience, then this is the podcast for you.
In this episode of Should I Start a Podcast, we revisit an episode of Harvee Pene’s podcast Inspiring Business for Good, where Ronsley was a guest. Harvee, who is an author, a TEDx Speaker and accounting guru, asked Ronsley some insightful questions about entrepreneurship, dealing with failure and giving back.
Ronsley, who is never shy about sharing his story, takes us through what it was like to lose his beloved restaurant, and how he came back through that. He also touches on why he views giving as “selfish”, but he does it anyway. Harvee gets Ronsley to give us some juicy details about how he came up with Amplify, how he’s still shocked that he makes a living with his voice and why giving others a voice makes it all worth it.
Also within this episode:
- Why Ronsley views giving as selfish but does it anyway
- Why Rochelle always wants him to go the market with her
- The conversation that shifted Ronsley’s perspective
- How Ronsley’s immersion in many different cultures gives him an advantage
- Imposter Syndrome and why you shouldn’t feel alone
- Why you should never half-ass a podcast

137. Making the Membership Model Work
We Are Podcast
03/14/19 • 37 min
Taking your audience from avid listeners to paying members can be a lucrative way of monetising your podcast.
Welcome to Should I Start A Podcast where each week Ronsley Vaz, with the help of a star-studded entrepreneurial guest lineup, explores why you should start a podcast; build an audience, and how to keep them hungry for more. If you’re thinking about starting a podcast, or simply finding a better way to get your message out to your audience, then this is the podcast for you
The membership model, on paper, is a great idea. You generate a community of loyal subscribers, they pay you every month and you have a consistent revenue stream. The problem is, it’s not as easy as it sounds. The churn rate, or the amount of people that quit using a subscription after only a few months, can be very high. And people, especially nowadays with so much content out in the world, demand a very high degree of quality if they’re going to pay monthly.
At We Are Podcast 2016, we had a panel of industry experts sit down and share how they’ve made their own subscription models work. The discussion was informative, interesting — and sometimes downright hilarious. You’ll definitely want to give it a watch.
The featured panel guests include:
- Sean D’Souza, Owner of PsychoTactics and Author
- Nathan Chan, CEO & Publisher of Foundr Magazine
- Carla Papas, Co-founder of The Merrymaker Sisters
- Karly Nimmo, Director of Killer Kopy and Host of two No.1 iTunes podcasts: Karlosophies & Keeping Good Company
They also discuss:
- Why memberships should be community driven
- How to create accountability in your members
- How to get members to share and participate more
- Using members to supplant recruitment for events
- Why membership models won’t work for everyone
- The importance of making members feel safe and comfortable
- Some ideas for keeping things fresh in your subscription service
- How to recruit quality members

After you listen to this episode I would love you to do 3 small steps that will help you make money from your podcast:
- I spoke about this on the last podcast. BUt it is valuable here too, so if you listened and haven’t done it ... here is your sign to do it ... so here it is. If all your previous guests asked you this one question, are you prepared with an answer? “What is the 1 thing I can help you with to grow your business?” - spend 20 minutes thinking about that and write down 3-4 things you could say the next time someone asks you this.
- Think about the guests you’ve already interviewed. And categorise them. Can some of them help you with being seen more because they have an audience? Can someone help you with being seen as more credible because their brand is a valuable one? Some could bring more clients, more partners, and more content. Group them.
- Think about 3 high profile people you would like to have a conversation with in the next year. And, who are the people you would have to interview before asking them to be on your podcast? Spend 20 minutes on this.
These are 3 small steps that if you execute, irrespective of where you are at in your business and podcasting journey will make a huge impact on your making your podcast more profitable & more impactful.
