THE BIGGEST MYTH surrounding podcasting is that there is no money to be made doing it. This is dead wrong. The reason most podcasters never make a dime from their podcast is that they are missing some of the SIMPLEST ways to actually monetize! In this short video, Travis and his producer break down just a few easy steps you can take to transform your podcast from something that COSTS you money into something that MAKES you money.  Key Takeaways: Sponsors may not be the best route for most podcasters to monetize. Consider finding affiliate deals that pay very high commissions. Patreon is a great option for certain content creators. For business-centric podcasts, sell a product of your own.
