Creating Online Teaching Content and Podcasts
At Man Up God’s Way, we use every platform available to reach men with the truth of God’s Word. Through online teaching, discipleship videos, and the Man Up God’s Way Podcast, we equip men to live out their faith boldly in their homes, workplaces, and churches. These resources extend the mission beyond our events, allowing us to reach thousands of men around the world every week.
Why We Create Online Content
Every event, whether a one-day conference or a full weekend experience, requires months of prayer, planning, and preparation. From securing venues to providing resources, every detail matters. Our goal is always the same: to create an environment where men can encounter God, build accountability, and be equipped to lead in their homes, churches, and communities.
The Cost of Production
Producing high-quality teaching content and podcasts requires both time and investment. Each episode or video involves multiple steps:
- Research, Writing, and Teaching Preparation: $200–$400 per episode
- Audio and Video Recording Equipment: $2,500–$5,000 initial investment
- Studio Space and Setup: $500–$1,000 per month (lighting, soundproofing, maintenance)
- Editing, Post-Production, and Uploading: $150–$300 per episode
- Podcast and Streaming Platform Fees: $50–$150 per month
On average, each teaching or podcast episode costs $300–$600 to produce, edit, and publish.
The Cost of Advertising and Promotion
To ensure the Gospel reaches as many men as possible, we invest in digital outreach
- Social Media Advertising (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube): $250–$1,000 per campaign
- Podcast Network Promotion: $500–$1,500 per quarter
- Email Campaigns and Graphic Design: $200–$500 per series
- Website and App Integration: $300–$700 per update
Together, these efforts make our online ministry visible to new listeners and viewers who might never step inside a church building.
Merchandise and Sponsorships
While merchandise sales and limited sponsorships help offset some costs, they generally only bring us to a break-even point at best. We never charge for online discipleship videos or restrict access to podcast episodes. Every dollar earned or donated is reinvested into producing more content, improving quality, and expanding our reach.
