Why it matters: a premium feed turns superfan engagement into recurring revenue without relying solely on sponsors, diversifying how the show pays for itself.
Good looks like a meaningful share of your most engaged listeners willing to pay monthly for perks they genuinely value.
- Launching a premium feed before you have a large, engaged free audience.
- Offering perks that do not feel worth paying for on top of the free show.
- Prioritising subscription revenue over the pipeline value the free show generates.
