Have a product or service at least loosely related to Disney you'd like to promote?
You came to the right place, because Disneypodcast.net and its companion "Dave's Disney View podcast" are looking for a sponsor!
....You want people to check out your product or service.
....I want to grow my podcast.
There's a world of opportunity, and I believe we can work something out that benefits us both.
"But how?" Here's my simple proposal, for either a 3 or 6 month period:
On my end, I will....
put a sponsorship advertisement at the top of DisneyPodcast.net
work in a short (15-20 second) mention into each podcast during that period
tweet about the product one time when we start the relationship, and once per month (for the duration of the agreement)
create a blog entry mentioning your product, when we start the relationship
And from you, I ask that you...
put a link to my site & podcast somewhere on your site
pay a small fee up front to start the deal (and I do mean small, consider it like "seed money" to help us both grow: $15 for 3 months, $25 for 6 months)
Then...
I send readers / listeners to a specific URL, so we can track hits and follow through on conversions (note: how we do this technically is open to discussion, and may depend on the type of product/service) - then for each hit or conversion, I make a fee (we can negotiate the specifics, based on the product/service and the method for tracking)
After the set period of time, we review the relationship and see where we are and what to do next.
You have next-to-nothing to lose, and we both can benefit from cross-promotion.
So send me an email to dave@disneypodcast.net and we can get started right away!
Supporting Details
If you search for Disney Podcast in Google, this site comes inside the Top 20, and has been seen as high as #11.
People are finding this site organically based on its simple name: DisneyPodcast.net
This site serves the purpose of hosting my show, and linking various content of mine together. But, I want it to be more, as a part of the Disney community. The site has links to what I think is some of the best content on the web, and I encourage people to submit other sites they like.
I also want to create a collection of podcasts under the "other cool podcasts" section where anyone who finds this site can see all of the great content that's available to listen to. While I want to grow my podcast, I know that it doesn't suit everyone's taste - and that's why I want to take on the community aspect and offer alternatives.
With respect to the podcast, I currently have more than 75 shows available for download. I have listed the podcast on most of the podcast directory sites, and it is available on iTunes. I have been pleasantly surprised to find that it has been growing in popularity since the first podcast aired in February, 2010.
I produce a new podcast at least every 10 days, and sometimes more often. The goal is to keep them short, and I target them to be 15-30 minutes. They're family-friendly and always about Disney; almost every episode will be specific to Walt Disney World. With the exception of news-related shows, the shows are not "time sensitive" and can be listened to at any time.
(and realistically even the news segements are of general interest anytime)
My shows are different than most of the shows out there. I try to make it personal, and give my point of view. I have some guests, and cover a wide range of topics that are of interest to me - and hopefully to my audience because I'm passionate about it.
I've been watching my show stats, and each of them continues growing in listens and subscribers each week. At present, I can safely say I have thousands of listeners - but I can provide numbers if you are interested.
And naturally, for you that means that, in return for your decision to sponsor, you get a growing audience, and get in early on an easy-to-find website.
