Meat on Demand Does $1,200,000 in 2015, EP 280: Tim Ray

So we have probably about a dozen people touching the business at any one time.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Meat on Demand Does $1,200,000 in 2015, EP 280: Tim Ray

Yeah, so the first year and a half was really just PR earned editorial focused.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And in the last six months, we found, you know, obviously diminishing returns for our PR efforts.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So we're focused really heavily on podcast advertising right now.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Meat on Demand Does $1,200,000 in 2015, EP 280: Tim Ray

We find podcast advertising for, you know, subscription based companies is been very profitable.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Meat on Demand Does $1,200,000 in 2015, EP 280: Tim Ray

And, you know, we have found that, you know, we've tried, you know, paid search.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Meat on Demand Does $1,200,000 in 2015, EP 280: Tim Ray

But the problem is no one searches for, you know, a meat club.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Meat on Demand Does $1,200,000 in 2015, EP 280: Tim Ray

Yeah.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

The only thing that's been profitable is really investing in our branded terms on, you know, Google.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Meat on Demand Does $1,200,000 in 2015, EP 280: Tim Ray

But we found, you know, Facebook is been good, but it's been inconsistent and we're trying to crack that nut.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Meat on Demand Does $1,200,000 in 2015, EP 280: Tim Ray

uh so we just started advertising on a podcast called drinking bros and you know it's a very you know every third word's an f-bomb and it's just like you know these guys partying out for 45 minutes talking about everything from sports to drinking beer to you know whatever um another podcast that's been really good for us let's stick let's stick with that one for a second so what are you what do you pay for like what them to read like a 30 second mid-roll or something

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Meat on Demand Does $1,200,000 in 2015, EP 280: Tim Ray

Um, yeah, I will do a mid roll to start and then pre-rolls after that.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Meat on Demand Does $1,200,000 in 2015, EP 280: Tim Ray

Okay.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And, uh, for us, it's been really successful because, you know, you can imagine even with your, your show, um, you know, it's not like when you're listening to the radio and people are passively, you know, reactively turning on the radio, even if it's their favorite station, people are proactively downloading because they really enjoy listening to you.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Of course.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So, you know, especially the successful podcasts, they get a lot of requests for people to advertise.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So they actually have to be selective with who they work with, which means that, you know, they're actually, you know, giving a, you know, a live read endorsement for your product, which is a lot more impactful than just a regular radio ad.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Meat on Demand Does $1,200,000 in 2015, EP 280: Tim Ray

So it ranges anywhere from 13 to $20 a CPM.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Okay.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
