This is **t a post to brag (as there are people who Make LOTS more Money than I do podcasting) but to answer a question I get frequently. How Much Money can I Make as a podcaster? To this I say, the more you put in, the more you get out. You do need the following:
1. A profitable niche.
I’ve done a podcast for musicians for 8 years. Have you ever heard the phrase “Starving artist?” apparently there is a reason for that. We k**w that Americans spend LOTS of Money on weight loss industry items. Consequently, one of my most profitable podcasts is my Logical Weight Loss podcast.
2. You need to k**w your audience. You do this via email, voice mail, comments, meetups, etc.
3. You do need an audience. My smallest audience is my Weekly Web Tools (about 200 downloads) but the people who listen LOVE it.
My two least profitable podcasts are Feeding my Faith, and the Marketing Musician podcast. I would also **te that these are the two podcasts with the least reliable publishing schedule. Those podcasts are “Do as I say – **t as I do.” With only 24 hours in the day, I fail to meet my projected weekly schedule. I plan on doing Marketing Musician twice a month. Likewise the “Podcast review show” is done on a “as needed basis” as the reviews are ordered. I should pick some podcasts to review to keep the podcast more consistent.
With this in mind, I’m going to peel back my curtain and show you what I made in July 2012
