<p>Hi Besties! For the season finale, <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/meremortalspod">Kyrin Down</a>, co-host of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/">Mere Mortals Podcast</a>, is here to give us a primer on V4V, or Value4Value, which is a new way to think about value in podcasting. Basically, V4V enables payment directly from podcast listener to podcaster using Bitcoin, making it easy to support your favorite podcasters, no matter where in the world they are based. Value4Value is a good option for pretty much every indie podcaster's monetization strategy, and in this episode, Kyrin explains why.</p><p>* Connect with Kyrin <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/meremortalspod">@meremortalspod</a> on Twitter.</p><p>* Follow Kyrin <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/">@meremortalspodcast</a> on Instagram.</p><p>* Listen to Kyrin’s podcast <a target="_blank" href="https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/value4value">Value 4 Value</a>.</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://fountain.fm/podcastbestie?code=a33f1eda49">Download the Fountain app</a> and get started now! </p><p>* Sign up for my upcoming class, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.roadmapwriters.com/products/creating-your-podcast-0">Creating Your Podcast</a>.</p><p>* Sign up for my upcoming workshop, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.chillsubs.com/writeordie/workshops/start-a-newsletter">Start a Newsletter to Supercharge Your Platform, Network & Business</a>.</p><p>Here’s a link to the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.podcastbestie.com/transcripts/episode16">TRANSCRIPT</a>.</p><p>Watch the <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/h5iNSxqtcio?si=y3JK7JQyGV1Es3X_">video version of Kyrin’s interview</a> on YouTube.</p><p>If you missed the last episode, check out <a target="_blank" href="https://open.substack.com/pub/podcastbestie/p/how-to-rebrand-your-podcast-with?r=ryyjv&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web">How to Rebrand Your Podcast with Angie Griffith of Podfluencer Society</a>.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://podcastbestie.substack.com/welcome">Sign up for the Podcast Bestie newsletter here</a>: https://podcastbestie.substack.com/welcome</p><p>Thanks to Michael Castañeda for mixing and mastering this episode.
