How do you turn 1,200 downloads a month into a six-figure podcast business?


In this episode of PodBiz, NJ speaks with Danielle Bezalel, MPH, creator and host of Sex Ed with DB, about building a profitable show in a niche many advertisers won’t touch. Danielle shares how she earns up to $140,000 a year from her single podcast feed, not through massive reach, but by building strong sponsor relationships and packaging her podcast alongside other media assets.

As she puts it:

“The money in podcasting is in advertising and long-term sponsorships.”

We dive into the strategy, systems, and mindset behind her success, including:

  • How focusing on a niche can attract aligned sponsors
  • Packaging a podcast with other media assets to increase deal value
  • Long-term brand relationships in underrepresented industries
  • Creating deliverables that meet sponsor needs across platforms
  • Treating your podcast like a business from day one
