What Winning Awards Has Done for My Brand

If you’re reading this week’s Podcasters Getting Paid newsletter, the idea of winning an award for your work may have crossed your mind from time to time. What is it like? What does it do (if anything) for your brand? Do awards get you paid?

I thought it would be interesting to share my experience and some insight into how I create content that is recognized by my peers.

Q-How Many awards have I won for my online creative work?

A-I’ve won 4 awards since 2020

2020-Best Current Events Content Related to Personal Finance (Plutus Awards)
2021-Best Current Events Content Related to Personal Finance (Plutus Awards)
2021-Freelance Excellence-Masthead Media
2023-Lifetime Achievement-(Plutus Awards)

Q-Did you pay a fee and submit your content to a judging panel?

A. No, I did not. I am 100% for that (submitting your work) though LOL! There are different ways to win awards and in my case, my peers nominated my work to be voted on. I had no idea in all 4 cases.

Q-Does winning an award change…anything?

A. In my case, each time I’ve won an award it has happened when I was feeling like my work wasn’t been seen or appreciated. It’s a huge confidence boost and validation that the work that I’m doing is important, creating an impact in an area of interest and is a validation of the work that I’m doing. Winning these awards also makes it easier to work with brand partners, crowdfund, etc. because people know the quality of the work that I’m known for creating.

Q. Do you design your podcasting season with awards in mind?

A. ABSOLUTELY. In fact, I’m in the beginning stages of working on my 2024 podcast season. When it’s launching, how I’m paying for it and when I’m finishing the project has awards season in mind.

Q. How has winning awards impacted your podcast monetization?

A. I feel a heck of a lot more comfortable asking for what I want in a brand partnership, etc. because I know the value of my content.

The “How to Design an Award Winning Podcast” Workshop

Will be an informal conversation that will give attendees some insight into how to design award winning content, marketing of content and more.

I hope to see you there!
