Baby birds revealed

About a month ago I asked you about paying for podcast fiction. It might not have been a perfect survey, but it has certainly given me some ideas going forward.

Here are the results

1. I would find this method for generating revenue from podcast fiction acceptable

Short sponsored advertised 96.55%
Small payment per episode 37.93%
I would never pay for a podcast 3.45%

People could choose more than one option here

2. Considering sponsored advertising in a podcast- how long would be too long?

Anything under a minute 65.17%
Under 30 seconds 34.83%

3. Considering paying for a podcast- what is the maximum you would pay?

99c 36.90%
I would never pay! 23.81%

4. Would you buy a copy of the book to support the author if they are giving you free podcasts?

Definitely 47.73%
Possibly 47.73%
It’s not part of the contract 4.55%

5. If I was going to pay for podcast fiction I would most likely pay for the following genres

Anything as long as it’s good 69.41%
Science fiction 18.82%
Fantasy 8.24%
Erotica 3.53%
