Podcast Tip Of The Day

Before investing in podcast ads, align your pricing model with your campaign objectives. Use CPM for broad brand awareness (e.g., $18–$25 per 1,000 listens), CPA for performance-focused campaigns where you only pay for conversions like sales or sign-ups, flat rates for predictable spending with established shows, and revenue share for collaborative, outcome-driven partnerships—especially with creators who strongly influence their audience.

Pro move: Start with a hybrid approach—combine a base CPM with a performance bonus to motivate hosts while controlling risk. Always track results with unique promo codes or affiliate links to measure ROI accurately.
