Ways to monetize your podcast are becoming increasingly popular. You can promote your offerings on your podcast, you can do affiliate marketing with your podcast, and you can seek sponsorships.

As a podcaster, you put your stake in the ground and speak to the subject you choose. That helps you build the authority around you. It helps your listeners understand why you are the expert on this subject and why they should listen to you. Getting in someone’s ear like that shouldn’t be taken lightly. It is a great honor to capture someone’s attention for the length of your podcast. Even if you down feel that you have a small audience of, say, 30 listeners. That’s good.
The bottom line is when you have a podcast, your unique voice and personality will scale better than trying to be someone that you are not. People are connecting with you when they listen to your podcast, so you need to be authentic. Your vulnerability will shine through and promote that human connection that we as people desire.
