Reminder that your favorite podcasters/bloggers/influencers are small businesses. And like all other small businesses, online content creation is affected by the change in the economy right now. Every podcaster I know is experiencing less downloads (because people’s listening habits have changed radically overnight), and has lost sponsors as companies reallocate marketing dollars.
Easy ways to support the people who offer up FREE content you love:
— ENGAGE. Listen to their shows and/or like & comment on their social media posts. This is not vanity. This translates to an engagement rate that is attractive to future sponsors.
— CLICK. Click through to their blog posts, use their affiliate links, etc. These things are zero cost to you but really helpful to creators.
— SHARE. Leave an iTunes rating, share shows/posts with friends or in your own feed. This helps them grow, and growth means more opportunities for them.
— SUPPORT. If you’re able to do so, now is the time to support a show or a creator via Patreon (usually a small monthly fee) or to buy that book or course or product they offer. Independent bookstores are shipping, or buy the kindle or audiobook version. Many creators are offering discounts on other products. Take advantage!
