I had no idea that you can monetize a podcast in so many ways. I might start one for my blog although I’m not entirely sure if will work out well considering that I cover a broad range of topics on my website.

Get a Facebook private group. Charge people 10$ a month and do the podcast in Facebook, tell them to donate using PayPal. Don’t give your money to Patreon or any other company. What’s the point when you can get ALL the money, why pay some 3rd party

I’m just starting a the Athlete 1 Podcast. I’ve had to step away from my high school teaching job because of COVID and need to generate revenue, what are the top three things you would do to monetize?

In reply to Damian. Yes, per episode, generally as measured as the total number of downloads for that episode file within the first 1-2 months of release.

Just to clarify one little point… when the numbers for downloads are quoted, are these the downloads until the next episode or over the month after publishing. I.E. if you say 5000 downloads per episode for a weekly show is this 5,000 for the week until the next episode or is it 5,000 over the next month?
Thanks for this noob question.

Thanks for the article – my question is how is your podcast business set up for taxes? Are you an LLC? We just landed a sponsor but it’s only $500 for the year, and likely we’ll operate at a loss with the improvements we plan on doing. I’m not sure if we need to register at all and just report is hobby income or what when tax time comes.

Question: When you say that advertisers are looking for 5000 downloads per episode, is that 5000 per month or per week?

In reply to Nick Loper. Nice. I guess it just takes time. Consistency is important
