Podcasting Profits

[mandy]

...there are four possible ways to monetize podcasting:

-- Embedding advertising in the audio itself. Basically, this uses the traditional model of radio.

-- Free and premium channels. This is how many content sites make money. There may even be subscription services, kind of like a magazine.

-- An enterprise model. This would mean selling sophisticated products to major customers that would have special features, such as security.

-- Advertising, which is currently the predominant approach.

hopefully the amount that can be monetized in podcasting is more than the bandwidth costs  :-\

Hats off to TulipTools for being so on top of things! I posted my first podcast on iTunes yesterday, but you guys have been talking about it since September!

There are supposed to be ways around the bandwidth issue. I will let you know as soon as I figure it out.

Godaddy offers 250GB for $4/month. My first podcast was a 10MB MP4 for 3 minutes of video, so the rough math is 25,000 people can see it for $4. That seems affordable. I need to demonstrate that I am the MAN when it comes to video. If it cost $4 for up to 25,000 people to see my "portfolio" crap, I can't see any problems with that.
