By Rob Greenlee "Learn how to turn your podcast from a hobby into a thriving business. Rob Greenlee shares strategies on monetization, video integration, audience growth, and community building through the Adore Pod Creator Network." Podcasting has evolved far beyond its hobbyist roots. What began as a creative outlet for enthusiasts has now become a legitimate media industry where podcasters are, in essence, running their own small media startups. If you want your podcast to grow, attract an audience, and generate revenue, you must start treating it like a business. I’ve learned this firsthand through my own journey from radio broadcasting into the world of podcasting. Building a sustainable show requires investment of time, energy, and often financial resources. It’s not just about recording episodes; it’s about developing a brand, understanding your audience, and planning strategically for long-term growth. While many creators dream of earning ad revenue, I always caution that relying solely on advertising can be risky. The ad industry is unstable, and smaller shows often find themselves at the mercy of fluctuating CPMs and unpredictable sponsors. That’s why I encourage creators to think beyond ads and consider community building, memberships, and premium content models that allow your most engaged listeners to support you directly. At Adore Pod Creator Network, I help creators through services that range from rebooting a podfaded podcast to launching entirely new shows with modern monetization strategies and full creative direction. The Evolution of Podcast Monetization and Ad Tech Podcast monetization has come a long way since the early days of host-read ads. Today, programmatic advertising allows podcasters to begin monetizing from day one. Platforms like Spreaker and the Adore Network make this possible by inserting dynamic ads across episodes automatically, giving shows an immediate path to income.
