Is Podcasting Profitable?
I think it is, and my reason for this thought is simple. In less than 6 months I've identified podcasters who started with NO AUDIENCE and built a regular stream of over 600 daily visitors to their website, and an audience of about 10K daily listeners to their podcast. The price of admission, about one day a week recording and editing their podcasts, and about one day a week recruiting and scheduling interviews with guests.
They have used the podcast to build an audience and a customer base from that audience which is putting money in their pockets daily. They gain new listeners and new traffic daily.
Traffic is the hardest part right? iTunes gives you a steady stream of new potential listeners through their directory is you do it right.
Does anyone know a better way to build regular traffic in a short period of time?
Also is there another area where you can quickly build credibility to gain interviews with people you want to meet? Better podcasters are regularly building a massive following in short order, but the equipment isn't cheap. A good mixer is several hundreds of dollars, a good microphone can be a few hundred dollars, a nice recorder might cost a couple of hundred, not to mention a hundred or more for good cables, and a few hundred for an equalizer, power conditioner, rack, and noise gate. I've racked up about $1500 in purchasing equipment so far and don't have it all yet.
Did I waste my money? Is anyone else podcasting for dollars?
