[Marketing] Promoting OSGeo projects on The MapScaping Podcast

[Astrid Emde (OSGeo)]

Hello Daniel,

thanks for reaching out to OSGeo.

I really like your podcasts and it would be great if some of our 
projects could present themselves.

Here is a link to the episodes. https://mapscaping.podbean.com/

@MarketingTeam - we should discuss Daniels suggestion at our next 
meeting.

>>

>> coming months but this is what the numbers look like today.
>> 
>> For every episode, we produce we also create a 2000 - 2500 word SEO
>> optimized article and spend a week promoting the episode across our
>> various channels. MapScaping has 31,400 followers on Twitter and
>> 54,000 on Facebook. Our email list is just over 2000.
>> 
>> How we might be able to work together
>> 
>> Each podcast episode and accompanying article costs $500 USD to
>> produce and promote.
>> 
>> So my pitch to you is this:
>> 
>> *
>> 
>> We split the cost, $250 each. OSGeo helps me find a qualified guest

>> the podcast episode.

>> OSGeo helps promote the podcast episode to their audience/list
>> 
>> If this is something that you might want to be involved with I would

>> any questions you might have.
>> 
>> Hope you are all safe and well. This is my first time posting to the

>> intention!
>> 
>> Cheers
