446 Raised $2 Million for Paid Podcast Membership Platform Glow.fm w/ Amira Valliani

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2017, Amira Valliani created Backyard Cambridge, a podcast about the City Council election in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She interviewed the candidates, produced the episodes, and built a small audience.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When she attempted to turn the show into a viable business, she found that there was no easy solution for collecting subscription revenue from listeners willing to pay for content.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, she founded Glow. Glow makes building podcast memberships easy and has raised more than $2 million in seed funding.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, Amira and Aaron discuss why podcasters can make more money from subscriptions, Amira’s experience selling ads, and how startup life compares to the Hillary State Department.</span></p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <p><a href= "https://www.goingdeepsummit.com/expand-your-mind"><em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Sign up for a Weekly Email that will Expand Your Mind.</span></em></a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>Amira Valliani’s Challenge;</em></strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Reconnect with someone you haven’t talked to in a while.</span></p> <p> </p> <h1><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connect with Amira Valliani</span></h1> <p><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/amira-valliani-3622131/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Linkedin</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/amiravalliani"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Twitter</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.glow.fm/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Glow.fm</span></a></p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <p><strong>Text Me What You Think of This Episode 412-278-7680</strong></p> <p><br /> <br /> <br /></p> <p><strong><em>Underwritten by Piper Creative</em></strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Piper Creative makes creating podcasts, vlogs, and videos easy. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How?</span> <a href= "https://ww
