Money Making Ideas - Make Money With Podcasts
If you're looking for money making ideas that are both fun and easy to do, then here is a great example.
Can you talk? Do you have a computer and an Internet connection? If you add a free software (Audacity), you have all that is required to enable you to make money.
Listen, I know what I'm talking about, because I told my husband how do it and he was very successful.
After we moved to France, my husband wanted to attract some traffic to the French copy of his original Danish web site.
The changes I proposed to him skyrocketed the visitor count, as you'll learn in a moment.
In the beginning, his site averaged around 25 visitors daily.
Then he started doing 3-4 minute long appearances on our local radio station, five days a week.
However, many listeners complained about not being able to listen to his segment when they were out of range of the radio signal, or simply forgot to tune in.
I had recently heard about something called "podcasting" which is, in fact, sound files you put online, and that people can easily download with iTunes or a similar program.
And I've also heard that, by talking to people using this medium, you will become more familiar and trustworthy in their eyes.
So all in all, this podcasting idea seemed like a winner.
My husband went ahead and created his first podcast (actually just a "hello world") telling people about how they could download the podcast, and also how they could subscribe to it through iTunes.
We saw an immediate spike in the visitor count.
It went up from 76 daily visits to over 200, and has only been rising ever since.
Now, visits to a homepage, in itself, will not make you money - so how can you monetize your podcasts? * Find a sponsor.
* Sell something from your homepage.
* Put ads on your homepage.
* Sell somebody else's product as an affiliate.
If you acquire a large number of listeners, you can endeavour to obtain a sponsor, and use a few seconds promoting the sponsor in each of your podcasts.
Whilst this gives you immediate money, it's normally not something a beginner could use to advantage.
You have to build up your listener count first.
Meanwhile, you could create products and put them up for sale on your homepage.
Then talk about them in your podcast, while remembering ALWAYS to offer valuable information at the same time.
You could also put ads on your site, and profit from the subsequent clicks when people visit your site.
And/or you could find related products developed by other merchants and promote these, both in your podcasts and on your site.
Many products offer affiliate programs which you can join for free.
