Hey Community family, in today’s solo episode Kristina dives into a topic she gets asked about all the time: how can I monetize my podcast/community?

Through The Social Snippet, Kristina and her team have launched well over 50 podcasts and they’ve worked with really really successful shows and others that never saw a dime of return on their initial podcasting investment.

The difference? Often a clear understanding of the ways a podcast can be leveraged to make money, and when is too soon to monetize a community.

Tune in to this episode to hear:

The different ways podcasts can generate revenue (from traditional sponsorships and ads to affiliate partnerships and selling your own offers).
How to monetize by packaging your podcast with your social media presence.
Why alignment matters more than quick cash.
How understanding your audience metrics can open the door to partnerships and sponsorships.

You don’t need massive download numbers or a huge platform to build influence or create opportunities through podcasting and community building. You just need the right people in your network.
