How To Monetize Your Podcast

The purpose of your podcast should be to bring money into your business and build your authority. If you are not monetizing your podcast, then it is time to adjust your podcast strategy and shift your audience from listeners into customers.?

Overcome Misconceptions

One of the biggest misconceptions I see with most podcast hosts revolves around the expectations of going viral; I call it the Joe Rogan concept of owning the air. At some point in the future, they will make it big – huge – and amazing things will happen. But when asked to explain these amazing things that are going to happen, they have no answer, no clue – zip, nada, zilch! Of course, you want to accumulate a multitude of listeners, but you have to plan how all these guests can begin to translate into money. You must get past the thought of simply wanting fans and figure out how your listeners can help you generate income.

Turn Listeners Into Customers

As a podcast host, every action you take must focus on your podcast's monetization strategy. Your goal is to figure out a way to turn your listeners into customers or build your authority. Every new listener needs to be viewed as a prospect, and you are using this time to nurture them into customers or build your authority in a way that takes you to a different level. When you view your podcast this way, you begin to build potential clients and elevate yourself by reaching a different caliber of guests.?

Evaluate Your Strategy

If you are not making money right now; if you are on the air, but you are not turning your podcast into dollars, and you have no products or services to sell; if you have listeners that love you, but they are not buying anything, then you have a major problem – You have a hobby and not a business.?
