Summary
Most podcasters sit around waiting for sponsors who pay pennies per download. Danna Crawford, host of the Power Selling Podcast and known as Power Selling Mom, has been selling online since 1997 and built podcast revenue through e-commerce instead of chasing ad deals. Beanie Babies bought her a house in Florida, and she still sells across eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, and Facebook Marketplace today. In this episode of Podcasting Secrets with host Nathan Gwilliam, Danna shares why her reels and shorts consistently get more views than her full episodes, how she uses Google Lens to research and price products instantly at thrift stores, why she prints podcast branding on every shipping bag and sticker to turn customers into listeners, how an 83 year old woman runs an entire online selling business from her phone with no computer or printer, why A/B testing YouTube titles helped increase her downloads, and how the timer method keeps her productive without falling into social media rabbit holes. Want to stop waiting on sponsors and start building podcast revenue through selling?
