Regardless of what you may have heard, there’s no set number of downloads you need before you can monetize your podcast. There’s no set number of podcasts you have to have published before you monetize either.
Today, I’m excited to share this case study of a podcast that we launched for my clients at the end of December, and it was monetized within 16 episodes. That means, literally they monetized in exactly 90 days from the date of their launch.
I’ll share how they did it, and what you can take away from their experience to propel you towards monetization.
Our next Podcast Profit Challenge starts soon! This is the perfect opportunity for you to get the help you need to begin to monetize your podcast. It doesn't take years to monetize your podcast, it can be done in as little as 90 days!
