It snowed this week in Denver. But by the time Podcast Movement Denver 2023 it’s going to be gorgeous! There’s a water park at the Gaylord Rockies venue.

Upcoming Workshop: How to Prepare for and Land Brand Partnerships
I’m hosting a hands on workshop capped at 25 attendees on Wednesday, May 25, 2023. The workshop is $397 and participants will leave with the following:
A framework on how to price a partnership
How to reach out to potential brand partners
How to design an initial pitch
How to renegotiate scope of work and pay (while speaking with the potential partner)
Finding brand partnerships that AREN’T ADS in your show
Learn about the psychology of working with brands “Why would they work with you when they have worked with more well-known creators?”
My goal is to help attendees prepare for their first brand partnership in 2023. Sign up today. Again, there is a cap of 25 attendees. I’m also offering 2 scholarship spots and will share details on how to apply in the next week or so.

Because Creating Show Notes Suck-Check Out SWELL AI
I am so freaking excited about my new partnership with Swell AI.
What is Swell AI? Let me tell you.
It is an AI tool that helps podcasters and other content creators streamline the following:
Creating show notes! You need show notes to monetize, especially if you’re using an SEO/Affiliate strategy.
Moves your AI curated content where you tell it to (sends to Google Drive, etc.)
If you hate thinking up social media content SWELL AI can design social media posts for you.
I’m low-key cynical and somewhat…suspicious of AI. So, when I tell you that SWELL AI was able to move me past my scepticism…I’m serious when I say, I love this tool.
And the biggest benefit-it saves podcasters so much freaking time.
Black Podcasters Association
I’m a member of the Black Podcasters Association and am very excited to be speaking to the community next week about lessons that I’ve learned from monetizing.
Some Motivation
Can you believe that we’re solidly in Q2! If you feel like you’re a little behind where you would like to be, I totally understand. I started the year off slower than I would have liked because I decided to pivot within my brand.
It has been PAINFUL.
But, I’m so much happier and I’m excited about what the future has to bring. Be kind to yourself and don’t be afraid to lean on other people. We can’t do this content creation biz alone.
Have a great rest of your week,
Michelle
