56 Dave Jackson - Profit from Your Podcast

Dave Jackson is Podcasting Hall of Famer, Coach, and Author of the new book, Profit From Your Podcast: Proven Strategies to Turn Listeners into a Livelihood. Dave talks about the history of podcasting and his early entry into an unproven medium back in 2005. The word, "podcast" didn't really exist, so how did someone start an online business called "The School of Podcasting" and ever expect it to succeed? Fortunately, for those of us who have flooded the space, it did succeed and it paved the way for a new form of engaging communication. He discusses some of the money-making strategies in his book, why podcasting is so attractive and mainstream these days, some of the barriers to entry, and the biggest mistakes podcasters make when they start.  His advice? Know your "why" and remember: You don't eat the fruit on the same day you plant the seed. Success takes time and I'm so appreciative he gave me some of his.
