Getting Started with Partner.fm

Sign Up and Profile Setup

Kick off by registering for an account on Partner.fm. A complete brand profile is crucial—it should include detailed information about your business, target audience, and advertising goals. This helps podcasters understand your brand and ensures their content aligns with your objectives.

Creating Offers

Creating offers is a strategic process:

• Ad Types: Choose from guest interviews, sponsored episodes, or product placements. Guest interviews allow your brand to be featured in an in-depth discussion, giving listeners a chance to connect with your message on a personal level. Sponsored episodes dedicate an entire podcast episode to your brand, offering a comprehensive promotion. Product placements integrate mentions of your product within the podcast content for a natural fit.
• Budget and Formats: Set your budget and select ad formats such as pre-roll, mid-roll, or post-roll ads. Pre-roll ads are short, engaging ads played at the beginning of a podcast episode. Mid-roll ads are placed in the middle of an episode, capturing the audience’s attention during the show. Post-roll ads play at the end of an episode, perfect for reinforcing your message.
• Key Messages and Objectives: Clearly define your key messages and objectives, ensuring they resonate with your target audience and align with your brand values. This step is critical to ensure your ad content is effective and impactful.
