Many podcasters overlook the potential of what their podcasts can do for them. You don’t need a massive social following or 100K+ downloads to start making money from your podcast.
In this video, I break down the ways I’ve been able to generate revenue from my podcast with insignificant downloads. I will also share examples from my podcast mastermind in terms of how others were able to do the same and more.
Apologies for the clipping sound. This is one of the first few videos I recorded for YouTube. Lessons learned: do NOT wear a necklace and a mic clipped to your shirt. 🙁
