Episode notes

Are you frustrated because you haven’t made money with your podcast yet? This week I interviewed Monique, the host of Time Traveling Tonya, a kid history podcast. We talked about having a mission for your podcast, writing a kid podcast, the unique ways that your podcast can help you make money, along with other podcasting tips and tricks Topics discussed in this episode include:

  • How to make money from your podcast
  • Inclusivity in podcasts
  • Creating an entertaining podcast
  • Having a mission driven podcast

I have so many takeaways for how to make my show better, but here are my top 5 takeaways from my conversation with Monique:

  • Have a mission/passion that is integral for your show
  • Time and effort is noticed even if it’s subconsciously
  • Use your podcast as a launching point for money making opportunities
  • Have big dreams
  • Know what your audience wants and coach your guests to do that
