237: 3 Real Ways to *Actually* Make Money from Your Podcast

Most podcasters don't earn as much as they could from their show. In fact, many smaller podcasts don't make any money at all, which is one reason why so many podcasters quit. Today, I’m talking about how making money from podcasting goes beyond just getting sponsors for ads. For smaller podcasts with less than a thousand downloads per episode, you likely won’t make enough on sponsorships for running a show to be “worth it” which is one of the reasons so many podcasters quit.  Today, I’m going to share three real ways to actually monetize your podcast. Then, next week, I'll be launching my new course on podcasting (I’m opening the doors on October 23rd!). In the course, I'll be covering various ways to make money from your podcast, with a focus on creating a big impact, generating more sales, and expanding your platform. While podcasting is enjoyable, it does require financial and time investment, so it's important to not just focus on downloads and chart rankings, but also on how your podcast connects with your business and makes a meaningful impact. In this episode, I’m sharing THREE ways to make money through your podcast but there are actually TEN ways I make money through my show that I’ll discuss in detail in the course.
