3 BIG BRAIN Ways Podcasts Make Money (without Ads or Sponsors)

No, advertising and sponsorships are not the only way to make money with your podcast. Here are 3 ways that are more accessible to more podcasters to generate an income, even if you're just starting out, and even if you don't have your own products to sell to your audience.

Remember, however, you must show up and build trust. Without consistently showing up, it's hard to earn the trust you'll need to make any money at all. None of this will help you get rich quick, but indeed many of these strategies do work and have helped a lot of people, including myself, increase earnings.

    Thank you Pat, I often think about all of these. They take time to nurture and feed with time and creativity. Did you juggle all of these monetizing platforms by yourself in the beginning, or did you have a little help?

    The 1000 fans x100 is an awesome way to explain how we don’t need to have a Joe Rogan size audience. Love it

    Pat, I really enjoy watching your videos. They have helped me sooo much. I want to start a podcast and/or U-tube channel. I feel like the help you give is real. I’m planning now because of you. So thank you!

    Hey Pat, seems like the audio on this vid is a tad crushed with a highpass in a few spaces just an FYI. @1:20 @4:12

      I noticed that too – very strange. Thank you!
