So your podcast is in great shape, and you’re now ready to monetise your passion. Question is, where do you even start, and how do you know you’re doing it right (and not wasting time and money)?

Most podcasters stumble around, wondering why their numbers are not growing or why it’s not turning much of a profit. Well, there’s a lot more to monetisation than just “getting ads and sponsors” to invest in your show.

This episode is the second of a two-part series with the amazing Podcasting Hall of Famer, Dave Jackson. We’ll be talking about why he chose to focus on podcast monetisation, mistakes podcasters make when promoting sponsors, and more.
