In this episode I am sharing my test of a new audio platform that provides your community, customers, clients, etc. with a private audio feed that they can access 24/7 with the app the already listen to podcasts with. This is a great way to deepen your relationship with your community and monetize your podcast. I recently hostes a workshop and the amount of people who said "those dates won't work for me." was staggering and a bummer because they couldn't attend to learn how to make money podcasting. I am throwing mud on the wall to see if this will stick. Join me for the journey.
