If you listen to podcasts, you may hear a list of ways to support the show at the beginning or end of an episode. These usually consist of leaving a review, rating the show, sharing the episode on social media, signing up for the newsletter, or subscribing to the show.
Those are all great ways to support a podcast, but today, I want to explore how to support The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants directly, why each is important, and how it impacts the show.
Leaving a Review on Apple Podcast or Rating on Spotify
There are many apps where you can listen to podcasts, and they usually have an option to leave a review, a rating, or both. The reviews or ratings help when someone is looking for a new show to listen to; people can read the reviews to get a feel for the show. Also, a show with a high rating is usually pushed or suggested to new listeners by the podcast listening app.

Signing Up for the Podcast Newsletter or Email List
Podcasts usually have a newsletter or an email list (it’s the same thing, just different names) that they email you when a new episode is published. Usually, you’ll get a little summary of what the episode is about and the link to listen to it. Many podcasters will also offer exclusive content only for those on the email list or special discounted offers for products and services.
Signing up for the newsletter helps the podcast by building a community. When podcasters want to make deals with brands to monetize their show or collaborate with a business that aligns with the podcast’s message, the email list size is an important factor. So, the more subscribers the podcast has, the better the podcaster’s chance of landing collaborations and brand deals. Sign up for the podcast’s email list to help land future brand deals.

Subscribe to the Podcast
Subscribing to the podcast on whatever platform you use helps with analytics and tracking the show’s impact. It also helps with brand deals the show may try to get later, such as sponsorships. Lastly, you’ll get notifications from the listening platform when new episodes are published.

Share The Episodes
If an episode of the show inspired, moved, encouraged, or made you laugh, send the link to a friend. The number one way people find out about podcasts is through recommendations. So, text the link to a friend, email it, or share it on social media. This way, new audiences will learn about the show and listen to it as well.
Support With Money
I’ve created different ways to support the podcast with money. The first is by making a one-time donation on PayPal. The second is by signing up for a monthly subscription to the podcast on Substack. It’s only $10 a month, and in exchange, you’ll receive exclusive content from me or the guest and monthly Q&A with me. And lastly, you can sponsor the podcast and advertise your business, book, coaching, and/or course. I have different sponsorship packages available – if you’re interested, email me at heidy@heidydelacruz.com.
The impact of money on the podcast is twofold: first, it helps offset the cost of production, which currently exceeds $5,000 a year. Second, it will help create jobs. I would like to hire an editor for the podcast so that I can focus on producing and interviewing my guests.
Conclusion on Supporting The American Dream
I love being a podcaster and interviewing immigrants. This podcast is truly my passion project and my calling. I’ll be forever grateful if you can support the podcast in any capacity. And to those who have supported the podcast since its inception, thank you for joining me on this journey!
With Love, Heidy
