TPU 34 | If You Want to Make Real Money, Stop Being a Podcaster
There’s been chatter recently, started by Michael Geoghegan, about podcasting not actually being an industry. This sparked a lot of thoughts that I’ve been mulling over the last week. I finally decided this was an important enough discussion to bump the scheduled topics and talk about it on the podcast.
On this episode of the Podcasting Underground, I give you my take on whether podcasting is an industry. I’ll also tell you why I think if you want to really make money, you should stop being a podcaster.
This episode goes a little long, but I had a lot of important things to share. Please let me know what you think about this issue in the comments below.
Items mentioned in this podcast:
* Michael Geoghegan’s blog post that sparked this episode
* Professional Podcasting Course - Starts on April 28th. Enrollment will open shortly before that
* TubeMogul - Service for submitting your videos to the top video sharing sites in a fraction of the time
