What It's About
A t-rex sized origin story for these dinosaur podcasters.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1885
Welcome! Happy Last Day of February. Today’s episode is part of a new feature we’re doing in 2022 called ‘Your First $1,000.’ As you might surmise from the title, this is all about how someone made their first $1,000. How did they get to that point? Not their first $100,000—that’s cool, but it would probably be a long story. One thing I’ve learned is that once you begin to earn real money, the steps required to go to the next level—whether it’s $1,000 to $2,000, or even to $5,000 or $10,000 are often easier than that first real paycheck. With that in mind, today’s feature comes from Sabrina and Garrett Ricci (you’ll hear from both of them)—but together they oversee a modern-day prehistoric empire. What do I mean? We first featured I Know Dino back on Episode #1725: “Big Dinosaur Podcast Generates Dino-mite Profits.” The business grew to become much more than its original fan-based, non-monetized idea. So in fact, let’s hear about that—how did Sabrina and Garrett go from “let’s make a cool podcast” to “let’s get paid for making a cool podcast”? Listen to today's episode to learn more...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
