Sponsorship and Affiliate Link Tracking: Never Lose Revenue Again
← Back to the Complete Podcast Production Guide
🤒
I moved episode 21. Was it the sponsored one?
Day 1
😢
The sponsor disputes the bill. I can't prove it.
Day 5
📝
Now every episode lists its sponsor and spot type.
Day 8
💰
Here's the report. Renewal signed!
Day 30
- Log every sponsor spot. Record sponsor, spot type, read-aloud or pre-recorded, and payment per episode.
- Reschedules are the danger. A moved sponsored episode means notifying the sponsor.
- Log affiliate links. Tie income back to the episode that earned it.
The Podcast Producer & Episode Management Tracker has dedicated fields for sponsorship deals and affiliate links, tied to each episode. Check that column before moving an episode, and you will know who to notify.
