Building Your Podcast Editing and Support Business - Designing Your Free Offer So It Sells You

Episode 88 - Building Your Podcast Editing and Support Business - Designing Your Free Offer So It Sells You

How to package what you give away so it leads naturally to paid work.

Key points:

  • Pick one specific service to offer free:
  • Example: “First full edit free,” “One free audit of your show,” or “One launch episode edited for free.”

Make your free offer outcome-focused, not tool-focused:

  • “Cleaner audio and tighter pacing” hits harder than “I’ll use Audacity for EQ and compression.”

Set scope clearly:

  • Max episode length.
  • Number of revision rounds.
  • Turnaround time.

Build in a simple upgrade path:

  • “If you like this, here’s my monthly package.”
  • Show the regular price on the free invoice as “$0” so they see the value.

Call to action:

  • Draft a one-paragraph description of your free offer plus bullet points for what’s included and excluded.

How to find or become a Podcast Editor
Are you looking for a Podcast Editor? What if your next Podcast Editor had a podcast instead of just being a random name on a discount services site? What if you could hear examples of that Podcast Editor before you reach out, and before you sign a contract or hand over your hard earned money? But I am "just" a hobby podcaster, I don't have a big budget like the bigger shows do - I am a one person operation!! Maybe you want to work with a Podcaster Editor that could teach you from the very basics to the more indepth - go from zero to hero with tips, tricks and tools and do it yourself!
