I remember when I started my own podcast back in 2017 with the intention of informing my campus colleagues on various matters ailing the institution. It was a great way to interact with other people, but it was also challenging to reach and maintain listeners at the same time. Three years later, intending to grow my podcast to a wider audience, I still experience similar problems.
CHALLENGES I FACE.
The radio industry is a vast one and being a small entrepreneur, and it is always a struggle to compete with the big fishes in the industry. Being independent has been my mission since the beginning of this venture.
My show is fairly popular and incases people want to advertise on it, and the advertisers have to cough up huge amounts of money. This is definitely a burden that I would love to see lifted. There is a need to reach out to a wider audience but doing so doesn’t have to be so expensive. The cheaper I charge for ads, the more advertisers I attract.
It has come to my realisation over time that audiences prefer on-demand news services and music which they can download and then listen to or read later. This means that the ever-growing digital medium is no doubt threatening our industry.
What I tend to focus more as a source of my revenue income are advertisements. It is clear that the digital revolution has made it hard for me to maintain this as many of the listeners tend to lean more towards digital products.
I must find a solution to these common challenges. My business depends on it. Technological advancements have come to revolutionise every industry in our daily lives. Blockchain specifically is doing so by providing solutions which are much more favourable.
The radio industry has not been left behind. As I was researching ways to help me deal with the challenges I face as a podcaster, I came across this amazing platform based on blockchain technology. Let me tell you about Podminers.
PODMINERS.
This is a platform which is based on blockchain technology and has a lot to offer to me as a podcaster. It is basically a platform for podcasting and live radio streaming. On Podminers, I can register and authorise my content as a programmed contract directly to the blockchain.
I will be able to monetise my content, and with these contracts, I have control over the collection and distribution of the payments. Advertisers too are not left behind on this platform as they also greatly benefit.
I believe that this platform will allow my listeners to have consistency and also have access to Podminers APIs via a developer marketplace. This will be an exchange medium whereas a creator I will get to collaborate with consumers and advertisers on the same platform through building a global community.
CONCLUSION.
As a podcaster, this platform will offer me freedom of speech because it will be based on blockchain technology. As we all know, with blockchain technology comes complete transparency and security due to smart contracts. This is the ultimate solution to not just me as a podcaster, but the entire radio industry. Blockchain indeed has the ability to make just about any industry the better version of itself. I cannot wait to have access to all the amazing features offered on Podminers once it has been implemented and grow my career!
