WHAT IS A PODCAST?

A podcast is an audio recording of a conversation about a particular subject, such as employment, relationships, or marriage. It is frequently delivered in MP3 format, and it can be listened to and downloaded to a computer or mobile device via the Internet.

So, if you are an expert in a certain sector, such as marriage, relationships, business, women's health, or personal development, you may leverage your knowledge and turn it into a lucrative business by simply talking about a variety of topics.


CAN I MAKE MONEY PODCASTING AND HOW MUCH?

The truth is that making podcasts may genuinely earn you money. There are several ways to monetize your podcasts and make a lot of money from them.

Sponsorships are thought to be the most popular way to make money via podcasting.

    • HOW TO MAKE MONEY PODCASTING

    1. Advertising sales

    It is quite straightforward for a podcaster to get compensated to advertise a product or service on the podcast if he can create a significant audience.

     Advertisers can choose to pay based on the number of clicks, impressions, actions taken, or a flat charge. Podcasters can sell advertisements directly or belong to podcast networks like PODTRACK.

     Podcast networks rank podcasts and then sell the category's adverts to advertisers. When advertisers broadcast adverts on podcasts, podcasters get paid based on the number of people who listen. 

    PREROLL advertisements that run at the start of a podcast and advertising that run at any point during a podcast are the most frequent types of podcast ads.


    2. Development of a product

    Some podcasters generate money by making and selling their own products, such as e-books about the topics they discuss on the show.

     A podcast can help establish a podcaster as an expert on a certain subject, and then he can sell his own e-book, or actual print book, through an online link on the podcast website. 

    Alternatively, a podcaster can tell their listeners that the book is available on Amazon.com or Parnzanable.com.



    3. Affiliate Marketing

    There are hundreds of thousands of products or websites that provide affiliate partners with network marketing chances. A podcaster who is an affiliate marketer directs their audience to a product or a website that sells a variety of things. After then, the podcaster receives a portion of any sales generated as a result of the referral. 

    Commissions typically vary from 10% to 50%, although some affiliate marketing agreements give commissions as high as 70% to 80%.

     A podcaster who creates a woodworking podcast and then signs up as an affiliate marketer with a company that sells woodworking equipment online is an example of affiliate marketing. The podcaster will add a link to the company's website and refer to it as an excellent source of woodworking materials throughout the podcast.


    4. Contributions(Donations)

    Another approach to make money from podcasting is to simply ask your listeners to donate to the podcast. Some podcasters ask for money directly, while others use a service like Patron.com, which claims to assist "artists and creators." 

    Successful podcasters and artists have used these sites to assist support and fund their careers, but seeking contribution support is not confined to visual or musical artists.


    5. Advisory and training services

    Other podcasters use personal consulting or coaching services to sell their skills. They promote the option to receive one-on-one training by publishing it on podcasts or mentioning it during their podcasts.

     Companies or individuals can benefit from consultations or training. This is a particularly common form of podcast criticism among podcasters who discuss investment ideas or provide professional services like legal or business advice.


    6. Premium Content

    It's as simple as that: sell the podcast! You can't sell everything, though, since you need people to listen to you for free before they decide to pay for it.

    Some podcasters are selling their back catalogs to remedy this problem. Keep the last 50 episodes for free, but you'll have to pay to acquire access to the previous episodes.
