Sponsoring Kasper's PodKasts
Kaspers PodKasts are by default not financed from any source other than my own bank account. This is especially true after I have stepped down as the lead developer and declined my royalty payment from the TYPO3 Association. However, while I don't have any official obligations in the TYPO3 community, I still expect to participate in the community. A great way for me to stay alive as an inspiration and anchor point in the community is through continuing my podcasting activity and feedback has shown that it is also highly appreciated.
However, the quality and amount of podcasts will depend on whether I can find the time and money to do it. This is why I invite you to consider sponsoring podcast episodes. I have been accepting sponsors since June 2007 and all episodes from now on will have sponsors.
Sponsoring an episode means you will get a 5 second commercial in the beginning of the podcast. By default this will be a still image (fx. company logo and URL) and me saying "Thanks to X for supporting Kaspers PodKasts". If you wish you can create your own animation sequence instead.
These are the prices for sponsoring:
- 1 episode 400€
Our statistics show that in average 1500 people watch the podcast episodes. It varies a bit depending on the topic, but there is a stable download. I only count fully downloaded files.
The sponsorship will cover a mix of the time spend on editing them plus the hardware and software investments necessary over time to keep and improve the quality. However, even with all episodes sponsored it will not cover the true production costs which is not the goal either. I only want to create some foundation to justify continous production.
Thanks for considering this!
