Your Indie Podcast Deserves Sponsorship Revenue.
I built Sex Ed with DB from nothing — no network, no agent, no label — and generated over $500,000 in sponsorships averaging just 1,200 downloads per episode.
Now I'm teaching you the exact system I used — the ad deck, the pitch email, and the strategy to land real brand deals.

I Didn't Wait for a Million Downloads. Neither Should You.
I'm Danielle — indie podcast host and podcast ad strategist. I launched Sex Ed with DB from scratch: no network backing, no agent, no guarantee that anyone would care. Just a microphone, a topic I was passionate about, and a refusal to wait for permission.
The thing I figured out changed everything: download count is not the gatekeeper to sponsorship revenue. The right strategy is. A polished ad deck. A compelling cold pitch. The confidence to reach directly to the brands you want.
With an average of 1,200 downloads per episode, I've built a $500,000+ sponsorship business — not through luck, but through a repeatable system I developed, tested, and refined through years of real pitches and real deals.
That system is what I'm teaching you.
- Over $500,000 in total podcast sponsorship revenue — generated independently
- Host of Sex Ed with DB — one of the most-sponsored indie podcasts in its niche
- Landed paid deals with major brands across wellness, health, lifestyle & more
- Built with zero network, zero agent, zero outside backing — the system is repeatable

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before you get started.
No — and that's the whole point of this course. My podcast averages around 1,200 downloads per episode, and I've generated over $500,000 in sponsorships. What matters far more than raw download numbers is how you position your show, how you communicate your audience's value to brands, and how compelling your pitch is. This course teaches you exactly that.
The masterclass consists of two 2-hour video recordings (4 hours total). You get lifetime access to stream anytime or download to watch offline. Templates are delivered as Google Slides + PowerPoint (ad deck) and Google Doc + Word (pitch email system).
Any independently produced podcast in any niche — health, wellness, finance, lifestyle, comedy, true crime, education, business, and more. The system is designed to work regardless of your specific topic or audience demographics.
Most people complete the masterclass and have their ad deck and pitch email ready within 1–2 weeks. Once those are in hand, you can start reaching out immediately. Some students land their first brand conversations within days of finishing the course.
The Complete Package bundles the Masterclass + Ad Deck Template + Pitch Email Template, plus three bonuses: a sponsorship rate calculator, a brand outreach tracking spreadsheet, and a 30-day action plan. Individually the products total $331 — the bundle saves you $84 and adds the exclusive bonuses.
None at all. The masterclass starts from the ground up: how sponsorships work, how to price your ad spots at any download count, how to find the right brand contacts, what to say in your pitch, and how to handle objections and follow-up.
Because these are digital products delivered instantly upon purchase, all sales are final. I stand behind the quality and effectiveness of this material — it's the exact system that built a $500K+ podcast sponsorship business. If you have any access issues, reach out and I'll make it right.
