And now, this week's episode.

Speaker:

A question I saw on a Facebook group the other day

Speaker:

was one that I see online quite a bit,

Speaker:

and that's how many ads should you have

Speaker:

in your podcast episode?

Speaker:

And while there's no general rule on this,

Speaker:

you don't want to overload your listeners with ads.

Speaker:

So what I tend to do is make sure there's about 15 to 20 minutes between each ad.

Speaker:

So if you've got an hour long episode, you probably have 3 to 4 ads in there.

Speaker:

One might be your pre-roll, then 15 minutes later you'd have a mid-roll,

Speaker:

then at 30 minutes another mid-roll, and at 45 minutes another mid-roll,

Speaker:

and then a post-roll to close it out with your outro.

Speaker:

If your episode is shorter, you can play it by ear.

Speaker:

But generally I think a good compromise is no more than one ad every 15 minutes.

Speaker:

Until next time, happy podcasting.
