For me on my "Logical weight loss" podcast I found someone who had a CD "Skinny songs" it was an obvious fit. If you can't find a sponsor, check out affiliate marketing where you can recommend products with a special link. There are places like Commission Junction and Share a Sale If someone purchases that product, you get a commission.

I also track all of my clicks to the advertiser so I can show them the traffic they received because of me. I use a program called "cloak and tracker" from Jay Jennings Obviously affiliate marketing only works if someone buys, and that's a bit of a gamble. I often will purchase a domain name ($7 bucks a year at godaddy.com using the coupon code cooler3 ) and point that to my affiliate link. For example the URL www.trydlg.com is a website I put up with a video about the product "Download Guard." I also have the URL www.podcastvoicemail.com where people can get a toll free voicemail number for 2 bucks a month. That URL points directly at the company.

You can put up a website for $2 a month at www.coolerwebsites.com and make that site (using wordpress which is free and installs in about 5 mouse clicks) all about that ONE product. More and more Internet marketers are doing this. They make a site about one product.

I know I'm slightly off the topic now, but if you can't find a sponsor, some times you have to make one up.
