Your product is mute, can you make it talk?

(this is question is in addition to the audio message that I just shared with you in the Telegram WIP chat group)

Iā€™m currently offering audio-only story-based ads for small companies and solopreneurs that I personally like while building my dream storytelling company, #suse (susĆ© patrola).

Itā€™s a weekend hustle.

All of the surplus money I gain from my Mon-Fri text jobs, I put into the company.

My question is:

Would you be interested to get a pro-bono story-based audio-ad for your product?

If yes, what would be your preferred podcast to hear your ad at? (I canā€™t promise your ad will make it into the podcast, but I will certainly reach out to the hosts.)

Iā€™m offering it pro-bono for the first few companies/products. Not sure for how long. This is a limited offer since Iā€™m not running it as a not-for-profit.

After that period, Iā€™ll be charging 250 EUR for a 30-second ad - considering that Iā€™m paying a professional voiceover talent to read the ad (theyā€™re not cheap) and considering that @aleramonā€™s sound design consultant services is baked into the service to make sure you get top-notch audio quality. (And some profit margin would also be nice though breaking even would work in the beginning too.)

Anyway.

Hereā€™s what youā€™d get:
  • An ad of 30 to 90 seconds for your product with well-written sales copy (Iā€™m writing it myself).
  • High-quality sound/music production
  • An asset that you can use for your social media marketing of your product.
  • A true differentiator from the others in the market. Itā€™s not about being fancy that you run an ad. Itā€™s about making the story of your product come to live through an audio experience that immediately affects the listener.
  • An audio file that you can use yourself in any way you want (you get all the usage rights). You can add your visuals to it or make it a Descript audiogram.
  • You can play the ad wherever you please (itā€™s your file). However, as @Marc pointed out to me, your ads could be played on podcasts that you like. Orā€¦ on Twitter as a ā€œpromoted tweetā€ with a static image (e.g. your product logo or artwork) with an animated spectrum analyser in the front. The options are abundant.
  • Last but not least, the chance for you to afford running an ad that you would normally not consider at all.

Why Iā€™m doing it?

I want to get thing off the ground with susĆ©, and I believe thatā€™s the best way to go while providing value to you at the same time.

Alsoā€¦

There are more details about my offer, e.g. the structure of such an ad. If youā€™re interested I would send you the complete information via email.

Soā€¦

Would you like to have a story-based audio-ad for your product and pay nada for it?

I canā€™t make it more of a no-brainer offer than it already is.

Ok, hereā€™s one more (real) limit:

I will only be able to produce up to 12 of those ads in 2021, and itā€™s first come first serve. So, if youā€™re number thirteen, you would have to wait until 2022, and I cannot guarantee that this would be pro-bono offer for you then.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Any questions, please do ask. Iā€™d be happy to answer them :)

Cheers,
- Alex


Yes please! For #nomeattoday.

Cool!! Youā€™re number 1, Arnaud :) I will send you all the details and the timeline this Friday so you know when you can expect the ad for No Meat Today to be done. :)
