Today, I want to tackle a common misconception about podcasting—as a quick money maker. Recently, I came across a Reddit post from someone working two jobs, buried in debt, and considering starting a podcast to generate quick cash. Drawing from my own experience with compassion, I explain why podcasting isn't the ideal solution for immediate income.

In this episode, I'll explore the realities of podcast monetization, the time and effort needed to build an audience, and offer practical advice for those in financial need. If you're considering starting a podcast hoping to make fast money, you might want to hit pause and reassess. While podcasting can eventually be profitable, it requires significant time, dedication, and strategy.
