Podcast Monetization: 9 Ways to Make Money Podcasting

There are several different ways to make money podcasting. In this video, I'll be sharing 9 models that you can choose from (beyond the traditional advertising and sponsorship model) and I'll show you examples of real life podcasts that are using that business model.

If you have yet to start your podcast, I suggest taking my free 3-day mini course to help you get your podcast setup at

When you're starting out, advertising and sponsorships are hard to obtain. You don't have a ton of listeners and you don't have a proven track record, so advertisers are not going to want to work with you. Not yet, at least.

These other methods can be implemented right away. Some are easier to setup than others, and while all may not apply to you or the type of podcast you have, all are monetization models that you should learn about so that you can begin to consider how you can start to make money from the hard work you do to produce your show.

I would suggest picking one of these methods to start making money with your podcast, and even if you don't have a ton of listeners, you can make this work.

      This is glorious, been searching for “streams of income online” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about – Qonmily Passive Formality – (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.

    • Kimberly Hawkins July 2, 2019 at 6:43 pm #

      Seriously! I had to keep scrolling back to make sure I understood. This is an issue with a lot of podcasters I’ve noticed. Slow down! Cramming as much into a video is not necessarily efficient. Write it out and rehearse it first.

  8. Shane Davis July 20, 2018 at 8:56 pm #

    Man your videos are the best I have found on YouTube. So palatable and easy to understand, perfect length, and rich information.

      Thank you Shane!

    I’m new at Podcasting, so your videos are golden! Thank you!!

    Noticed how you almost used every one of your tips and strategies in this video for branding/marketing yourself and others. Also noticed how this is not making money through podcasts it is how to possibly build opportunities using your podcast that may or may not make you money.
    Besides patreon.
