#177: 5 Ways Your Podcast Can Make Money Before You Have a Business

"How will my podcast make money?" This is one of the most frequently asked—and confusing—questions when it comes to podcasting. The good news? The ways are infinite!

In this episode I'll share with you five ways you can start making money with your podcast before you even have a business or an offer or if you're just getting started with a new idea in your existing business.

I will also demystify why ad sponsorships may not be your best focus, when getting started.

The strategies I've chosen go deeper than just creating "money opportunities" - they will also grow your audience, deepen your relationship with your niche community and clarify your offerings along the way. This episode is super actionable, so be sure you're subscribed to the podcast so that you can easily find it when you're ready to implement!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  1. How building genuine relationships with your podcast guests and listeners can open doors to partnerships, clients, and collaborations
  2. How to use affiliate links authentically and share tools/resources you truly love with your audience as an act of service
  3. How to engage your audience and co-create offers that reflect what they truly need
  4. How to create assets from your existing episodes
