Sponsors, affiliate links, paid promotions, and free products can all be part of making money from your podcast. But your audience deserves to know when there's a commercial relationship behind what you're recommending.

In this episode, I look at why being upfront isn't just about legal requirements - it's also about maintaining the trust you've built with your listeners.

Podcast promotion can promise big numbers, but bigger downloads don't necessarily mean a bigger audience. In this episode, I look at some of the warning signs that your podcast promotion may be generating questionable traffic, why download-to-listener ratios matter, and how inflated numbers can hurt your chances of working with sponsors.
