As podcasting continues to grow, the competition for subscribers/listeners will become increasingly intense. Charging listeners for your podcast will not be the right way to podcasting profits. Those who have it in mind to turn podcasting from a leisure activity into a career must make every effort to stand out clearly above the crowd. The most successful podcasters will be those who set the benchmarks for professionalism, quality, and credibility.
The ability for a podcast to reach thousands, or tens of thousands, of listeners once, twice, or more per week, translates into huge advertising dollars. It is those podcasters, who succeed in attracting those listeners, who will be the first to reap the profits from podcasting. The challenge from that point is keeping those listeners and rotary them into long-term subscribers.
One ordinary mistake, in thought, that people tend to gravitate to is that charging for a podcast will lead to profits. In fact, it is just the opposite that will eventually lead to the most successful podcasts. Keeping your podcast free will draw you more listeners, and by drawing more listeners you will attract more sponsors. Sponsorship will be essential to podcasters seeking to make large profits from their podcasting shows.
Not only is the podcast an advertising medium for sponsors, but the podcast can be an simple way to redirect listeners back to their website. Utilizing the popularity of a podcast to send traffic back to it’s website, will bring in additional revenues through product sales, affiliate sales, or PPC (Pay-per-Click) advertising, such as Google AdSense. A well place together and attractive website, along with a moderate flow of traffic, will bring in a healthy flow of additional revenues.
Podcasters who reach the end line first will earn a majority of the rewards. Profitable podcasting will not be about reaching the full globe, but it will be about reaching a sizeable part of your niche audience. Niche audiences are more valuable than a general audience, and are a virtual gold mine to advertisers. The niche audience means that there will not be just a handful of winners in the race for profitable podcasting, but there may very well be hundreds of financially successful podcasters.
