Welcome to Season 2 of MPM!
Season 2 is going to be focused on Mastering the Business of Podcasting! You asked and we listened. The episodes we got the most feedback on last year were the episodes that looked at ways to monetize your podcast and have our podcast be a key part of your brand.


This season we are going to dive deeper into the many ways that your podcast can be a key part of your brand. We are talking to experts like: Arielle Nissenblatt about Marketing Your Podcast, Jennifer Navarette about Web3 and Podcasting 2.0, Zach & Rock from SquadCast about automations that can help your workflow, Jess Kupferman about building a community, and so many other experts that have their podcast as a key part of their business.


We also want to bring you along on our monetization journey and how we are building our brand and our business with our podcast. Some exciting things have  been happening over here at KaSa Media- and we have learned important lessons along the way that we think will help you to think creatively about how your podcast can be a vital part of your business!


As you know, we have a membership group to support podcasters. This thriving community is growing and we are adding more levels to this membership group! In talking with our community, we learned that there are people who would be served by joining a micro-membership and there are people that would like a higher-level business focused membership. We are adding both of those in the next month and we cannot wait to tell you about it! Our lessons we learn will help you to start a successful membership as well.


We stopped offering our key course…this was a hard decision but a very important one. Our key program- Launching & Leveraging Your Podcast for Accelerated Success was a 10 week program- and it was wonderful!!!! Yet- our focus has changed and shifted and it was important for us to remain focused. We are now creating a  low-cost, evergreen program to help people launch their podcasts. We can’t wait to tell you what we learn from that process!


Finally, we have leaned into David’s audio/visual expertise and Tiphany’s professional development/course creation expertise to bring our business focus on helping people create video courses. We are launching a Mastermind with a focus on teaching people about course creation and memberships as a vital and profitable way to monetize your podcast. We are also creating video courses for companies!!! In these past few months we worked with SquadCast to create a 9 part Welcome Video Series to help their new users learn how best to utilize the platform and we are working this Hindenburg on a certification program! We learned that leaning into your unique skillsets to solve someone’s problem is a powerful way to grow a business!


We are excited about sharing our lessons with you in season 2 as well as bringing you into the conversations we are having with industry experts. We look forward to hearing from you about the questions you have when it comes to building your brand

New Year, new goals! As we start a new year it is so powerful to plan what the focus for the new year will be. David & Tiphany give you a behind the scenes "look" at what our podcasting goals for 2023 are.
Fun back story: Mastering the Podcaster Mindset podcast was created in 2021 as a way to support our podcast students and our membership group. We noticed that the people in our community had many questions that needed to be answered and we felt a podcast was a terrific way to answer those questions.


With that purpose, we never marketed this podcast outside of that group. YET...the Mastering the Podcaster Mindset audience continued to grow and grow! So for 2023 we are experimenting with some growth strategies to see if we can continue to grow our podcast audience.


We are:
Starting a YouTube ChannelBecoming more regular with bloggingPromoting the Podcast on social media outside of just our Facebook communityFocusing on live meetups and conferences to make in-person connections

This week we talk to Katie Krimitsos, the founder of Women's Meditation Network & co-founder of Podfest Expo. When Katie began podcasting, she was in tears with the almost insurmountable fear of recording the intro to her first podcast. With incredible mindset work, determination, creativity, and support from her family- Katie has been able to grow her podcast network to 8 shows (with another coming soon) and a thriving podcast business.


Katie shares her struggles, triumphs, and insights that helped her meteoric podcast growth. Katie is beyond inspiring!

In part 2 of our discussion on the number 1 way to monetize your podcast (even with a small podcast audience) we are discussing two terrific ways to monetize:
Planning a retreatRunning a mastermindA retreat is a focused vacation that you, the host plan for your guests. The retreat has a focus such as relaxation, rejuvenation, connection, business growth etc... A big bonus of planning a retreat is that on top of making some money- you also get a free vacation!


A mastermind is a bit like a course but more focused with a like-minded group of people that want to dive deeper into solving a problem or growing their business. Masterminds are often high-ticket offers.


If you would like help monetizing your podcast, come join our Mastering the Art of Podcasting Membership Group! The membership group is a group of like-minded people that are focusing on growing their audience, honing their podcasting craft, and monetizing their podcast.

Many "experts" will tell you that you need thousands of downloads before you can even think of monetizing your podcast. We respectfully disagree. Giant download numbers were never anything we found we needed to have our podcast start making us money.


New podcasters and podcasters with smaller shows just need to be creative. We like focusing on these things when thinking about monetizing your podcast:
Building strong, authentic connections with your audienceLearning what your audience needs and wants from youCreating content that brings value to your audience

If you focus on those things and have a creative, curious mindset- monetizing is pretty darn easy!


The number one way we found to monetize a podcast is...... creating a course, masterclass, membership and/or retreat.
This topic is so rich that we decided to break it up into two parts. Part 1 is all about:
