You’ve likely heard ads on podcasts and assume that’s the best way to make money podcasting. You might have also heard them and stopped there as you’re unsure how to monetize a podcast and convinced your reach isn’t big enough to attract advertisers. Heck, even if you have those kinds of numbers, you still might feel stuck. I’m here to un-stick you — providing you with an accessible-to-all-podcast-sizes option you might not be in the know of to help you monetize a podcast through ads.
