Publishing your podcast and running your business can get expensive if you let it. However, money isn't always the answer.

There are a variety of ways to get what you need to publish and monetize. Money is just one way. Today, I want to help you get creative and discover a few other ways to get stuff done.

ACCELERATOR

Developing and following a strategy is difficult to accomplish alone. How long have you been trying to figure this out on your own?

When you get a collective group together who are all trying to accomplish the same thing, the transformation is amazing. The things accomplished are phenomenal. One plus one ends up equalling three through the power of collaboration.

That is why I started the Podcat Profit Accelerator. It is a group of podcasters coming together to help and support each other to achieve growth and monetization together.

Napoleon Hill, author of "Think and Grow Rich", calls it the Mastermind Principle. Hill describes the Mastermind Principle as "The coordination of knowledge and effort between two or more people who work towards a definite purpose in a spirit of harmony … no two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind". He calls this the Mastermind.

The Podcast Profit Accelerator is just that. It is a group of people coming together working toward a definite purpose.

BENEFITS

The Podcast Profit Accelerator provides you a ton of benefits every month. These include ...

• Live Calls 2x/month where I teach, we brainstorm, we hot seat, I coach and we help each other reach our goals by taking action with accountability and implementation.

• Access To Recordings in the members portal to revisit anytime you'd like.

• Podcast Profits Video Library for deeper learning.

• Podcast Workshops that I do. I have another coming on April 9^th. It is $197 and covers audience growth over 3 hours. You're in for free.

• Private Facebook Support Group to get your questions answered between calls and connect with other members.

• Toolkit and resource library with over 25 templates and tools.

• Onboarding Call to get you started quickly and easily.

The total value of this is worth well over ten grand individually. Because we are working as a group, you can get all for only $997/year or $97/month.

Just the 2 calls a month is worth more than $97.

Let's talk about creative ways to get what you need.

TRADE

Rather than spending money on products or services, consider trading.

If there is a service you need, could you provide your service to that expert in exchange for their expertise and training?

You never know what is possible until you ask. They could be in the same situation you are.

If you want to get in a giveaway, but can't afford the $297 this month, offer to allow the giveaway host to participate in your giveaway for free in exchange for participating in their giveaway.

Get creative.

LEVERAGE EXPERTS

Another way to save time and money is to leverage experts.

If you don't have the time and money to create another program for your clients, leverage another expert.

Some experts will give you a course or present to your group simply for the exposure.

Not all people are driven by money. Some are driven by exposure and other by the influence and authority.

Giving an expert the opportunity to be on stage in front of your audience could be motivation enough to provide you the content you need.

This would save you the time creating another course.

AFFILIATE

Rather than spending money on a product or service, you could become an affiliate of that company.

You could promote the product or service on your show. When it sells, you earn a commission that could pay for your own.

I'm an affiliate of Dan Millers's 48 Days Eagles membership. In fact, I'm the Dean of Podcasting there. It is a great group of entrepreneurs helping each other grow.

When people join through my affiliate link, I earn a small commission. That commission pays for my monthly membership. Find more about 48 Days Eagles at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/jv.

REVIEW

Another great way to save money is through product reviews.

Companies will sometimes give you free product if you agree to review it on your podcast. This helps them get exposure. Your audience gets a REAL review. (Don't fake it – tell the truth.) You get a free product or service.
