hat's so true! It's wild how a podcast can grow from a passion project into a real business if you stick with it.Some people earn from podcasting. You can start one today. You might not see results right away but it can be profitable over time. There are some ways to earn from it, including selling your own merchandise, affiliate marketing, advertising, hosting live shows, and receiving grants, to name a few. Have you ever made money from podcasting?
I haven't personally made money from one (yet!), but I've always been fascinated by the hustle behind it. The ways to earn you listed are spot on. It seems like the most successful ones aren't just about the ads; they build a whole brand around the show—the merch, the community, the live events. It's a marathon for sure.
Makes me wonder, for every big-name podcaster, how many are out there making a solid side-income that no one really hears about? Have you given it a shot yourself, or is it more of a future goal?
