Traditional Monetization

January 8, 2025 · 20 min

Show notes

Before we look into some of the monetization options within Podcasting 2.0, let's consider those that are traditionally recognized as income streams for podcasters.


In this episode, Sarah Ferris and I discuss the pros and cons of:

  • Paid advertising
  • Sourcing sponsors
  • Subscription models like Patreon, Buy Me a Coffee and Apple Subscriptions
  • Affiliate marketing


We also ask:

  • How much can podcasters expect to get paid?
  • How much extra work is needed – for example sourcing sponsors, preparing extra content for subscribers?
