How to Solve One Problem By Publishing a Newsletter
Podcasters Getting Paid
During May, I am revisiting previous case studies that I’ve shared via Podcasters Getting Paid and doing a deep dive into each one of these case studies and monetization strategies by sharing my personal experiences monetizing and this week I’m revisiting how creators can make money solving ONE problem.
I’m going to share why I decided to create Podcasters Getting Paid and what it has been like focusing on this one problem. Paid subscribers will be able access that content towards the end of the newsletter.
Examples of Podcasters Solving One Problem:
Phylicia Jones-I Find You Close-A resource that shares speaking leads so that speakers can save time researching speaking opportunities.
Previous Case Study
Jeremy Enns-Podcast Marketing Academy-Helps podcasters learn about the different strategies they could use to market their podcasts.
Upcoming case study
Danielle Desir-Grants for Creators-A resource that curates leads on grants. Saving time for supporters who would like to apply for grants to use towards their creative work.

This Week’s Announcements:
In this week’s newsletter I share 3 personal examples of how I helped solve a problem and made money doing it. One is a digital product, another is a service and the third is a digital product that also can be a physical item. I share the good and the challenges of each product and what to consider if you decide to solve a problem in a similar way. This Thursday I will share some insights into what it’s like growing a newsletter (Podcasters Getting Paid) and why everyone should grow a newsletter or email list. I’ve included a link to a podcast episode where I talk about the similarities and differences between a newsletter and email list.
1-on-1 Podcast Monetization Coaching, availability is ending next week. I won’t be taking coaching clients for the entire summer and will be available again for coaching in September.
