What It's About
Which is more profitable: podcasting or blogging?
Notes from Chris
Episode 1551
A listener is frustrated with the low earnings of blog ads. Does the podcast medium pay more? Also, for everyone starting a podcast: a quick refresher on how to attract advertisers. We’ve discussed this before but I continue to hear from people every week with the same question. I’m glad you’re moving forward—here’s what you need to know."Hello Chris this is Alyssa and I just recently found your show and loving the stories and puns. I've had a blog for a while and I'll be starting a podcast soon. My topic is pretty mainstream, so I'm hoping to reach a good-sized audience. So far, however, I've been disappointed with blog ads. I made $80 last month, which is more than $0, but is there hope for something better with a new medium? In short: is podcast advertising more profitable than blog advertising? Thanks for your advice."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
