One thing I wanted to mention. For my favourite podcast the sponsorship/ads they do are ads really geared to the audience. I actually look forward to the ad section because they are products I actually want and some times don't know about.

I just started my podcast called "Candid Life Lessons" and your gear reviews are the reason I bought my entire setup! This is the next phase I need to learn so I appreciate you always sharing your knowledge and experience.

Hi Tom, I feel I am a small podcast show. I started 19 months ago to give a little extra mental wellness to my local hypnotherapy clients. My show makes over 4 figures every month now (US $) I run ads via Spreaker , then have a small membership page for ad free content. Only 1 Sponsor but thats because I am extremely fussy and its not about the money. The show though has become its own global brand and next month will see the app to compliment my content. For the record, no social media following prior to launch and now 2.2million downloads. Love your content and delivery, thanks . Martin

I want that blue windscreen for my SM7B

Extremely realistic and honest! This is why I love your content. Thank you

Love that blue windscreen Tom. I NEED one in darker blue for the Podmic! 💯

I’m blown away by how far you’ve come with this channel. Nearly 75k subs! Insane. Thanks for info. I considered creating a podcast with my friend in Seattle, but we’re both lazy. Should I stop being a fat dumb stoner? Nah. I love your life.

I've always found it odd how many people make videos about how to (stream podcast, something social media) while still being relatively irrelevant. Good on you for being up front, more authentic.

I like your approach. It is completely fine to make a podcast for fun and as a hobby. Not everything needs to be monetized.

"Podcash" definitely sounds like it should be the name of a startup pairing podcasters up with companies looking to advertise on podcasts.

Tom, This is great information. With my Podcast being very focused on the community where I live, I had resigned myself to making $0. LOL. I do think that I could potentially get a local business to jump on as a season sponsor, but I am not sure I want to sell out my listeners for what little money that will probably be. Thanks for the great advice as always.

When Tom drops a video not a Thursday 🤤, solid overview! Podcasting monetization seems rather difficult but this clears up a lot of questions!

Podcash. At one time I questioned why be at a trade show or why make a web page? It is one way to stand out. If your own actions are not visible to others, you do not exist for others.

This is such a great reality check. So interesting how VASTLY different the audience numbers are for podcasts. Maybe because they tend to be more of a time investment? Which, then means you have a potentially more committed and engaged audience, which equals more value per subscriber? Hmmmmm...

Yes, start your show for the right reasons. We love what we talk about on our show. And like you, Tom, we haven't made a cent, but it's all good! I like the 'Wild West' analogy, and it is very important to me as well.

LOL I make no money with my podcasting, but here's how you make money! LOL Thats because you have big integrity in this space Tom. Great video!

I don't feel like ads on your podcast means you're "selling out". It's especially true on the podcast platform because you can do easily skip through ads as a listener. As long as there is not 10 minutes of ads, I think having ads just supports the creator so they can keep creating.

Thank you for showing your download numbers!! I love your KZfaq channel for advice and information, but honestly, it's hard to find download numbers to compare with. Now that I can see your numbers, it helps me to understand mine in a more appropriate context. (Seems I'm doing ok for a small niche show - woot!)

Can we get a video on how to come up with dad jokes? lol Please, thanks!

You are very authentic imo! Younique! Loved the video but had to look for it in your channel. Iam not a tech guy not even a creator but sill had some great insights. Came through Rafael but won`t stay here aswell for the reasons above. I wish you all the best and a ton of success!

Thank you for this! A lot of people just go for the kill without the skill!

That blue SM7b! Is that cover custom made? Awesome video Tom :) New subscriber to your channel here all the way from Bahrain :) :)

People ask me this all the time. I just tell them podcasting is a lot like radio where you have to go after the money and sell your podcast to people so you can get sponsors, ads, etc.

Thank You!

"Podcash," the younger cousin to the "ska-cast"

Hey Tom... Love your set, vibe and content... Please can you let me know the fonts you use/used in your thumbnail 🙏🏾

I'm more on the Affiliate Link and then Brand Sponsored wagon if and when I get sponsored one-day 😂 Thanks, Tom!

Killer content. Thank you!!

No affiliate link for your windscreen? That might fund the beginning of your world tour, at least to the airport ... ;)

Thank you. Timely upload!

The integrity is key lmao 😂

happy Monday Mr Tom

Thanks for this video!!!

Hello Tom! Has anyone ever told you that you look like MIke Kasem? Kasem was an MTV VJ on MTV Asia from 1994 to 1999 hosting MTV's Most Wanted. :)

This channel is going to be huge. its too good lol!!! The jokes>

Tom, great videos! I have a question: How to match the colors of a7siii to the eos rs? What profiles to use?

Tom, in one of your earlier recordings you recommended Anchor-fm as a free podcasting host and the one that you used. In this video you showed an example of your podcast on BuzzSprout. What made you go from Anchor to BuzzSprout? I am trying to decide between Anchor and Castos

I use Anchor and I only made a dollar but it was a dollar I worked hard for but I do it because I enjoy it

Great information!

Informative as always. It’s the first video I’ve watched from you that I didn’t see any b-roll. Great use of camera switching and punched in scenes. Passion for that cashin. /groan

Podcash....nice :)

A sell out merch auction when you sign it in front of the audience once in a while would be another way to make a "Buck."

It’s the puns for me

Tom’s Punny Shirt

Great .

Making so little on monetizing a podcast isn’t really worth it . . . To me, it just doesn’t make any “cents”. Tom, if You however were to monetize your podcast I guess you could say that when you got paid . . .“the Buck stops with you!”. Would that be a Buck for the Buck?! And if you were to negotiate a sponsor ship, that would be a pain, they would just “nickel and dime” you to death! 🤪

Tergity farms. We all need a bit of tegrity

Fun fact: the number of people coming to my podcast is higher than on youtube LOL

Passion for the Cashion... LOL

Podcash 🤦😂
