How to Make Podcasting Pay (or at least help cover the costs…)

April 21, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

Free webinar brought to you by The Space, in association with Arts Council England.

In the last year (at the time of recording) the landscape of podcasting has changed, for example Apple Podcasts and Spotify have both launched subscription models. But there’s not much research to suggest who is using them, how much they charge or what uptake they get. There are now lots of ways to create paid podcast feeds, but how do you know which might work for you?

Sooner or later, someone will say ‘let’s make a podcast!’ but that great idea is simply the start. How much do you need to budget, and what are your options for building an income stream? How much effort will be required, and what will you need to put in place to keep going over time?

 

We cover:

  • What can you do to give yourself the best chance of creating sustainable audio content?
  • What are the different business models, and what can we learn from those who are using them successfully?
  • As well as money, what other costs (effort, resources etc) should you consider, and how do you create a manageable model?
