Young and Profiting with Hala Taha

Given Young and Profiting’s success, I always get asked how to secure sponsors and monetize a podcast. Truth is, there are many ways to make money from your podcast, and it really depends on the stage of your show, download counts, how niche you are and many other factors.

In this YAPSnacks I’ll be covering I have learned about podcast monetization the past two years like:

• How to prepare before pitching your podcast
• Types of podcast sponsorships and commercial types
• The pros and cons of affiliate partnerships
• Monetization through lead generation

And for good reason— we're working longer hours, taking on second jobs and side hustles, dealing with more competitive environments, glued to screens and phones that zap our mental energy, caring for small children and the list of stressful triggers goes on and on.

In fact, we millennials wear our lack of sleep as a badge of honor. And since sleep deprivation is linked to Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes, we have created a real health crisis for ourselves! To make matters worse, poor sleep impacts us mentally; it reduces our productivity, decreases collaboration, prevents us from making good decisions and even limits our capacity for empathy and humor.

Needless to say, it's time we millennials unlocked the power of sleep! To do this, we've invited Dr. Daniel Gartenberg on the show, a leading sleep scientist who has dedicated the past 10 years helping people get a better night’s rest through his sleep coaching consultancy and innovative apps.
