MODEL OVERVIEW

What Is the Financial Model Podcast Production?

This editable five-year podcast workbook produces active customers, hours paid and hourly rates, then combines assumptions with financial statements and management views.

Use a planning workbook, such as marketing customer acquisition, customer retention, paid service hours, prices, costs and staff, to shape the production forecast for podcast.

The assumptions to be edited are the basis of monthly calculations which are included in revenue, expenditure, cash flow, balance sheet, scenario comparisons and reporting on the dashboard.

Built for service settlements Revenues are modelled with active cohorts of customers, hours per customer and hourly rates according to service level.
CLIENT REVENUE ENGINE

How Does This Model Calculate Revenue from Podcast Production?

The model takes over customers from marketing and CAC, keeps cohorts at the level, converts active customers to hours paid and applies hourly rates.

01

Buy Clients

New customers are calculated as purchase costs ÷.

02

& Stop Assign

New customers are allocated according to tiers and retained by each of the time levels of a given period.

03

Active Customers

The customers starting and all active cohorts are still joining in active customers at the level.

04

Paid Hours

Active customers × average monthly hours paid generate hours paid at a level.

05

Calculate Income

Where monthly revenues under the same scheme are calculated on the basis of figures, they should be taken into account in order to take account of all possible adjustments.

FORM OF CORRECTION Revenue = Hours Paid × Hourly Rate
