Free: one full leak from this kit
No sign-up, no email. Here is leak 1 of 8 exactly as it appears in the kit, so you can see what you get before you buy.
Only ad revenue after year one — nothing else ever tried
You can close it- List what your show earns from, by source, for the past year.
- Ask your listeners (one episode mention or a poll) what they would pay for: bonus episodes, merch, a live show, a course.
- Pick one option with the strongest answer and test it for 90 days.
- Track what it brings in against what it costs.
- Keep it, change it or drop it based on your own numbers.
Your part: Pick what to try, set the price and launch it.
LISTENER ASK (read on air or post): "Quick question for you: I'm thinking about adding [OPTION A — e.g. bonus episodes], [OPTION B — e.g. a live recording in CITY], or [OPTION C — e.g. a show T-shirt]. Which would you actually want? Reply at [LINK/EMAIL] — I'll build the one most of you pick."
Review revenue by source once a year and test one new stream at a time.
What this kit can't decide for you: Recommendation from your own record and your listeners, not market forecast.
That's 1 of 8. The other 7 come the same way in the kit: steps, words to send, a habit to keep each one closed.

What people in this work look up
When podcasters go looking for answers, they search things like “podcast advertising rates”, “podcast sponsorship”, “how do podcasters make money” and “podcast ad rates”. Those searches turn up forms, averages and other people's numbers. This kit starts from your own records instead: the 8 places money leaks in this work, where to look first and the words to send to close each one.
What you get for each leak
- Numbered steps to close each leak
- Your part, spelled out
- Words you can use: letters and scripts, ready to send (fill in the brackets)
- A habit that keeps each leak from coming back
- An honest line on what the kit can't decide for you

Questions people ask
What CPM am I actually paid?
Work it out from your ad statement. The kit shows how.
When should I chase ad networks?
Not before your downloads can support it. The kit explains what else to try first.
Do membership platforms take a cut?
Fees are unseen because deposits arrive net. The kit has you total them.
What it can't decide for you
This kit works from your own records. It doesn't give legal, tax, licensing or financial advice, and it never tells you what to charge. Where a CPA, attorney, insurer or state board makes the call, the kit says so and gets your records ready for them.
