I'm Danny Brown, and you're listening to One Minute Podcast Tips, the show that helps you be a better podcaster in just a minute a week. If you like exclusive tips just for your podcast, as well as early access to all episodes, become a premium subscriber at oneminutepodcasttips.com/support. And now, this week's episode.

When it comes to dynamic content, most podcasters use this for sponsor messages or ads. So you may have a sponsor and you insert them as a pre roll, which is at the start of your podcast episode, or a mid roll anywhere within the content itself, or even a post roll once the episode is finished. And this is a great way if you're looking to monetize your podcast or work directly with advertisers and sponsors.

But you can also make your podcast really engaging with dynamic content, and use it for more than just sponsored messages or ads. For example, a past guest has a new book out, so you could get the affiliate link and drop a quick audio snippet promoting the book.

You might host a geek podcast about Star Wars, but you're going to create a new mini series podcast about the Ahsoka TV show, so you could upload a snippet that promotes this new podcast across all your back episodes for your current show, or just the ones that mention Ahsoka.

If you're on a true crime podcast and new information has come to light, you can add a snippet with the most up to date info about that case featured in a past episode. There are lots of ways you can use dynamic content to ensure your listeners have the most recent details about the topic, guests, and more.

And it's a really simple way to make your show as contextual as possible for those listeners, which can only help when it comes to growing your show more. Until the next time, happy podcasting. Thanks for listening.
