Normally, I try to stay positive and encouraging. Maybe I still am, as I encourage you not to fall for these Podcast Tools (often based on AI) that promise great success and wealth without doing any work. Here are some of the things this company (who will remain nameless) promised:<ul><li>A chart-topping podcast in minutes</li><li>You don't even need a microphone (think about that)</li><li>Just let AI clone your voice, make an AI video version of you, and make six figures.</li><li>Podcasting is expensive (it's not -you can get started for $80)</li><li>Instant money from advertising (when big sponsors need 10-20,000 downloads per episode)</li><li>It quotes successful podcasts that aren't using their system (and sell their own products, not advertising).</li></ul> Takeaways:<ul><li> You don't monetize a podcast - you monetize an audience. </li><li>If it were this easy, everyone would do it - and all podcasts would be the same.</li><li> Many podcasting scams prey on the uneducated, making it sound easy to succeed. </li><li> Building a podcast audience takes time, typically around three years, so be patient. </li><li> Don't fall for the hype that you can create a podcast in minutes without effort. </li><li> You can't skip the hard work of podcasting and expect to succeed; it requires consistency in schedule and consistency in quality content. </li></ul> Mentioned In This Episode<a href="https://youtu.be/_4RrcmUmSrY?si=fHCN2ujWp3GDzH4z" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Conan O'Brien Needs Some Cash</a><a href="https://weekly.podnews.net/1538779/episodes/17082917-spotify-s-financials-and-its-100mn-podcast-payout" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podnews Weekly Review</a><a href="https://podnews.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podnews Daily</a><a href="https://schoolofpodcasting.com/will-verified-downloads-ruin-podcast-advertising/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Will “Verified” Downloads Ruin Podcast Advertising</a><a href="https://community.schoolofpodcasting.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=chapter&utm_campaign=982" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">School of Podcasting</a><a href="https://www.tella.tv/video/early-bird-surprise-9c18" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Video of Fake Countdown Timer</a>Mentioned in this episode:Join the School of Podcasting and Get Access to Step by Step CoursesWhen you join the School of Podcasting you get UNLIMITED one-on-one coaching, an awesome community and courses like:
