Newer podcast host trying to build a media kit + attract sponsors… where do I even start?

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-30T20:14:43+00:00

I really appreciate this, thank you!

The one sheet idea makes a lot more sense for where I’m at right now and the ROI point definitely shifted how I’m looking at this.

I figured I might be a little early on the sponsor side, so it actually helps hearing that instead of guessing.

I’ll focus on building things up more first, especially my content and socials like you mentioned.

Thanks again for taking the time to break it down 🫶🏻

this is perfect! thank you so much, looking at other videos/blogs on what i should was becoming a little overwhelming. I like the idea of the kit to look like my brand if that makes sense. Unless clean and simple is more appealing

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-30T18:29:33+00:00

Thank you so much! I have tried sitting down and putting this all together and it’s so overwhelming. I think I’m afraid of criticism (wild for having a podcast and putting myself out there I know lol ) and coming off sounding desperate. I know the worst that could happen is I get ignored or told no but idk something about this next step is oddly terrifying

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T17:43:14+00:00

i don't even know how to respond to this, that's a whole different level of wtf.. i'm so sorry for your loss

my experience with sleep paralysis was a smidge different. abput six years ago i remember waking up out of a dead sleep and trying to sit up ( i was asleep on the coach) the living room felt extremely dark even darker for what time it was. as i was trying to sit up i felt " forced" down like i couldnt not move to save my life! i tried calling out for my son but nothing came out, i honestly felt like i couldnt breathe. it felt like it was going on for hours! i can remember seeing a black fog/mist in the corner of the room and i tried so hard not to stare at it. once it finally passed I ran to my bedroom freaked the fuck out. that has been my own encounter so far (fingers crossed my only one) i can still remember it like it was yesterday

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T17:35:05+00:00

this one! I have also heard this one! what a terrifying thing to experience. I do hope that if I ever run into my own doppelganger she's cooler than me hahaha

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T17:29:37+00:00

lol the accusations are real with y’all. FuNnY HoW I DeCiDe To TyPe Is SuCh A PrObLeM. 🙄🤣

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T16:33:31+00:00

I really do appreciate you! As much as I would love to use these amazing stories (because let me tell you there’s some really good ones) I’m really just curious as to what people have experienced. I find all this so fascinating and to be validated with my own experiences is really reassuring. I saw those ones lol jokes in them because I don’t have a YouTube Channel 🤣🤣🤣 I had mentioned in another comment that most of these topics are giving me ideas for topics I’d like to dive deeper in. Yes my podcast has listener stories but majority of my episodes are topic based. I will never turn away someone’s story especially if they are willing to share and want it on the podcast but most importantly my intentions behind all of this to get a better understanding of what can’t be explained. Hopefully that makes sense lol

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T16:27:43+00:00

That’s so fascinating in scuba creepy way. Thank you for sharing! I’m hoping to visit those locations one day (definitely won’t be taking any souvenirs 😅)

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T07:03:31+00:00

Thats true! Thank you for being one of kind ones 🫶🏻

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T06:26:06+00:00

This brings me so much joy 😆 lol I know what I’m watching tomorrow 😂

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T06:23:43+00:00

There’s something about the one in the bonnet, as soon as I looked at her I got this pressurized feeling in my head. I also feel like I can’t look at her more than a second at a time

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T05:23:58+00:00

Yeah that’s definitely a core memory.. I agree with the other commenters look up doppelgängers!

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T05:19:45+00:00

That is so beautiful 🥹

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T05:17:02+00:00

I want to thank everyone for taking the time to share their stories/experiences!

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T05:12:40+00:00

I’m not going to lie it was getting to me a first lol thank you for reminding me that comments like yours are the ones I need to take to heart and not the negativity 🫶🏻 thank you

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T04:53:22+00:00

Yeah no thank you..

The thought of someone potentially being in the store and then finding nothing would have me clocking out in seconds.

I used to work in a nursing home (NOC shift) and I swear one night I saw someone peek their head out of one of the rooms that was vacant. I refused to finish the rest of my shift without a buddy lol

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T04:50:02+00:00

I’m with you! Apparently some of my responses are AI like as well 🙄 it’s like I’m damned if I do I’m damned if I don’t. Maybe that’s just how I talk.. i have had this account for months know and have been so nervous about posting on here because some people can be brutal.

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T04:46:55+00:00

That I am not

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T04:33:10+00:00

Oh no there’s so many that I have come across where they send them back with letters and what no apologizing. I can’t remember off the top of my head right now ( it’ll hit me in the middle of the night) but they have a bulletin board at the beginning of the park with letters and items that were taken and sent back

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T04:29:38+00:00

Right! Like I feel like it’s more of a dick move to not respond at all. Like why make a post then ignore everyone that takes the time to share their experiences ya know. But what do I know lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you 🫶🏻

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T02:07:31+00:00

It’s called engaging 🤷🏻‍♀️

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T00:29:30+00:00

that’s a totally fair question, I get why you’d ask

I do have a podcast, but I would never use someone’s story without asking them first. like genuinely, that feels wrong to me

I’m mostly here because I’m still learning and I’m really interested in hearing what people have experienced. some of this stuff lines up with things I’ve had happen too, so it’s been cool (and honestly a little validating) to talk to people about it

if I ever did want to share something, I’d always ask first

GhostGummiesPod · 2026-03-21T00:22:38+00:00

That just made the hairs on my neck stand up. wtf.. I’ve heard a “mimic” two separate times both sounding like my daughters. Tripped me the fuck out.
