Small podcasts can get paid.
If you are running a show that is consistent, has received feedback from listeners, and has a well definite listenership, the sky's the limit — you can absolutely attract money to your project.
Today we are joined by Michelle Jackson, the founder of the newsletter and platform, “Podcasters Getting Paid.” Michelle Jackson is a Podcast Monetization Coach passionate about podcasters with smaller shows making money from and through their work.
Believing there is more than one way to get paid, Michelle shares how podcasters can monetize their skills, lesser-known income streams to have on your radar, and how to navigate challenges unique to indie podcasters with “smaller audiences”.
