Podcast is Money Making Machine

How does one make money with podcasts? Does it increase people seeing you similar to reels?

Gerrard Making money with podcasts typically happens through a few main channels:

1. Sponsorships and Ads – Once you build an audience, brands may pay to promote their products during your episodes.

2. Listener Support – Platforms like Patreon allow your audience to support you directly.

3. Affiliate Marketing – You promote products and earn a commission for each sale through your links.

4. Selling Products or Services – Many podcasters use their platform to promote their own offerings—like courses, books, or merchandise.

5. Podcast Networks – Joining a network can help with monetization, though it usually comes later in your growth.

It’s important to note:

Podcasting is not a quick-reach scheme. It doesn’t usually go viral like reels or short-form content. Growth takes consistency, value-driven content, and time. But what it does offer is deep connection and trust with your audience—something short videos often can't match.

So yes, it can definitely increase your visibility, but in a different, more lasting way.
