Podcasting can be a good source of income if you know how to access it to your advantage. Many have created a podcast and have made a lot of money. A key point to remember in helping people create a podcast, you need to put aside a get-rich-quick mentality. In fact, you should be willing to do it because you love to talk. Quick bucks are not the goal here.
Podcasting requires time, patience, and diligence. There are many subjects to pick from, which we call a niche. My favorite is Christian ministry, although I have dabbled in other fields like classic TV and movies. To tell you the truth, I have never made any big money in that field. Usually, I have not stayed on podcasting for a long period of time. I prefer to write and do live streaming.
Tools To Have In Podcasting.
If you want to start a podcast, make sure you have a blog to go along with it. Perhaps I am biased, but WordPress is my favorite. Blogger blogs from Google are my second favorite. Blogger blogs are easy to assemble. You can reach a large audience if you type your blog on a frequent basis. It is important that you grow your audience through your blogs.
Another way is to create a Facebook page. Make sure you grow your page with family and friends. Write something that you are passionate about. A rule of thumb is to be familiar with what’s trending. Sometimes, when I want to have more visitors, I use keywords. Make sure you get familiar with how SEO works.
Twitter is also a great way to get exposure. When you start your Twitter page, make sure you look for like-minded individuals. As you interact with them, you can grow your audience. Finally, YouTube and Rumble are good sources for getting your podcast noticed. All of the above are good tools, but patience and diligence are the key factors in getting your podcast noticed. As always, include the podcast on your blog and other places on the web. Hope this helps someone. God bless.
