Value Exchange

To create a value and provide it to the world, the value provider needs resources at least in the form of time, energy and money. This is no different to the creation of Voice of Sayar Henry podcast. In order to keep educating and inspiring people with great content for free for years, the creator needs sustainable support from the fans.

The cost and time required to produce an average of 30-minute long episode can vary greatly depending on the quality and complexity of the production of each episode. Here are some factors to consider:

Equipment: The creator needs a good quality microphone, headphones, and a mixing board or audio interface. These can range in price from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Additionally, a suite of recording and editing software can also cost no less than a hundred dollars.

Production time: The time it takes to produce a 30-minute episode can vary depending on the creative vision, level of complexity, and audio quality. It can take a full working day just to record, edit, and mix a simple episode, or even expand to days and weeks if the episode includes music, sound effects, and multiple voices.

Hosting: The creator also needs a hosting platform to publish the podcast. Many hosting services charge a monthly or annual fee, with costs ranging from a few dollars per month to several hundred dollars per year.

Distribution: To introduce the podcast to as many people as possible, the creator needs to invest time, money, and other resources in marketing efforts, such as creating social media posts, running ads, or hiring a marketing consultant.

Overall, the cost and time investment required to produce a single episode that listeners can enjoy just for 30 minutes can range from a few hundred dollars to even several thousand dollars and can take anywhere from a day to weeks, depending on the level of production quality and complexity. Imagine how much resources the creators have to invest to produce multiple episodes every month!

Due to such commitment, many podcasts that are of good quality and available for free cannot sustain the production without ads, sponsorships, or monetary support from the fans. It is also unfortunate for international podcasters that the majority of advertising networks and sponsors only target listeners from the United States. For example, Voice of Sayar Henry has a fan base that is scattered across the globe. Over 70 % of the listeners are from non-US locations such as United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore, Myanmar, etc. which essentially means the ads only reach to less than 30% of the audience.

Therefore, this page is created for the majority of the listeners who reside outside of the US so that they have an equal chance to contribute as they wish. If you are one of those fans who have personally experienced the value provided by Voice of Sayar Henry, please consider supporting the creator financially. Every penny you contribute becomes a meaningful part of the creator’s journey in educating the next generation and inspiring the society you care about.
