Well, hello Fire Nation and welcome to the bonus episode of Podcast Sponsorships, all the goods.

We just released this post on entrepreneuronfire.com and I just wanted to share an audio version of it for all you podcasters and all you aspiring podcasters out there who are kind of curious about what the deal with podcast sponsorships are.

I decided to sit down, I wrote this article, I gave away all my knowledge, a lot of great templates are included on the blog post itself.

So here we go, I hope you enjoy.

So when I launched entrepreneuronfire back in September of 2012, I had no idea what the source of my income would be, but I did know that if I provided enough amazing content and value to my listeners for free, that the income side of things would fall into place.

Here's a zig-zagging quote for you, you can have everything in life you want if you will just help other people get what they want.

It's a great quote Fire Nation and a great way to go about your business.

Sure enough, at the six month mark, my download numbers and ranking and iTunes had begun to attract sponsors who started to approach entrepreneuronfire.

The month of April 2013 turned out to be our first five figure month, $12,584 to be specific, with 85% of the revenue generated coming straight from sponsorships.

To celebrate entrepreneuronfires one year anniversary in September of 2013, we decided to begin releasing a monthly income report.

September proved to be a record month with over 50K in gross revenue and we blew the doors off in October and had our first six figure month.

Today, sponsorships make up about 40% of entrepreneuronfires monthly income as we have introduced products and services, Fire Nation Elite and Podcasts Paradise that account for a large percentage of our total revenue.

The rest of this audio blog is going to be focused on sponsorships, specifically best practices and approaches, as well as a lot of personal opinions, my personal opinions.

In November alone, entrepreneuronfire generated over $40,000 in sponsorship revenue, which we will be revealing in detail in our next income report coming out the first week in December.

Podcasting has arrived. It's exciting and we are just getting started. So jump on guys and hang on tight. All things sponsorships.

So let's get real Fire Nation. Can you start a podcast today and have sponsors lined up a year doorstep tomorrow? No. Can you start a podcast today about a niche that you're passionate about and knowledgeable about?

Work hard for a significant amount of time, six months, a year, build a captive and engaged audience, and then have sponsors beating down your door to get in front of your listeners? Yes.

Let's take a moment to turn back the clock and go through my first six months, which we'll call the pre-sponsorship days.
