Phil Better: Investing In Yourself and Monetizing Your Show

MoneyPod

About Phil Better: Phil's interest in Podcasting first began when he heard one of Kevin Smith's podcasts on the network Smodcast, back in 2014. Since then he has been listening to a varied genre of podcasts to constantly be up to date with the latest knowledge when it comes to podcasting.

In November 2017 he took the plunge and started his first podcast, The Phil Better Show. The show went on hiatus in 2020, but at the same time, Phil's drive to become a successful Entrepreneur kicked into high gear.

After a few failed attempts, and some inner soul searching, he decided to start Investing In Himself by doing the one thing he's great at... Connecting with people.

Phil signed his first Client, Lloyd Ross, and produces the Money Grows on Trees: The Podcast

Spurred on by the success of his client, Phil launched his third Podcast, Yet to be named, along with the admins of the Facebook group "Stock Market for Beginners" This Podcast goes live every Sunday at 7:30 pm EST to group 40 thousand members, with the goal to help people increase their financial literacy so they can start making money from the stock market.

Phil’s drive to be known Globally as The Podcast Mogul means he is always looking to help out independent podcasters monetize their show by offering free 30-minute sessions which he hopes to turn into another Podcast when he has the time.

In this episode, JJ, Doug, and Phil discuss:

• The power of the abundant mindset and sharing knowledge
• Monetizing your podcast through sponsorships
• Investing in yourself and in your team

Key Takeaways:

• There is power in sharing knowledge, so don’t hoard your genius! By shifting from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance, podcasters can unlock opportunities for growth and collaboration. By growing alongside others, you can achieve success that is far better and faster than working alone.
• When it comes to monetizing your podcast, focus on your target audience and approach relevant sponsors. Start with low advertising rates to build confidence, and increase your rates as you gain experience and clients. Reinvest the money earned back into growing your show, allowing your community to flourish over time.
• Invest in your team and in your growth. There are some tasks that you might not be good at but are absolutely an essential part of your business. Find people who can do it better and hire them. Find a coach too, and seek out guidance on how you could grow as a leader, entrepreneur, and podcaster.

“The minute you're doing something and it feels effortless, it's time to change. You're in a comfort zone. When things just seem like a smooth ride, that's when you need to shift gears, get off the road, and find a harder path” - Phil Better
