Change your perspective on what sponsorship is, and you’ll have a better chance of being sponsored. Sponsorship is not ‘the money you get paid to do something’. It’s an investment in an asset (that’s you) with an audience that seeks a return for the sponsor.

Every year we like to highlight how powerful it is to have a platform and influence online and we also like to showcase people who are using their influence to effect social good and change.
This year, in line with PBEVENT’s focus on influence, we challenged you to show us how you have used your “influence to make a difference”. The challenge was for the opportunity to speak on a panel with Daniel and Justine Flynn from Thankyou, to help both inspire and show how ANYONE can do amazing things with the influence they have and the passions that motivate them.
We received some amazing submissions from ProBlogger Event attendees for this panel over the past couple of months. At ProBlogger HQ we were inspired and uplifted to see how people are using their influence for good in many and varied ways. As much as we would love for everyone’s story to be told, it’s just not be possible to fit everyone into the schedule. But we have arrived at our two panellists to feature alongside Daniel and Justine in a discussion moderated by Emma Stirling….
A very big and warm hearted CONGRATULATIONS and props to Sarah Rosborg and Alexx Stuart! Their actions deserve more attention so Daniel has bowed out to create more time for their stories, and Justine will represent Thankyou.
It’s time for rubber to meet the road (or pen to meet the paper). During this Masterclass, we’ll focus on creating your full course outline and building your first chunks. This is a hands on masterclass, where you will write, build and get hands on input with creating the beginning of your own course.
Key Learnings:
Podcasting is the online medium with the greatest potential for engagement. Audio encourages a very personal, 1-to-1 connection with the listener. Audio is also a ‘wasted time’ medium: because listening takes place in the car or doing chores, attention can exceed 1 or 2 hours. This combination of engagement and attention is potent, generating massive trust and credibility. In this session we’ll look at how we can use podcasting to apply that trust and credibility to a business. We’ll explore how podcasting can sell existing products, or can form a business of it’s own. If you’ve been wondering how to monetise your audio content, this is the workshop for you.
