How to start your own podcast channel


  1. As we all know, the beginning to every step is to start first. Therefore, the first thing you need to do is to sign up and create a podcast account by signing up with any podcast platform like Anchor. There are other platforms you can sign up with. I only mentioned Anchor because using Anchor for your podcast saves you the time of personally distributing your contents to other streaming platforms like spotify etc. Anchor automatically does that for you.

  2. After creating your podcast channel, the next thing is to record your message  i.e the information you want to share with your listeners. Some people record their messages directly on Anchor because it has a feature that allows its users to record and edit their messages by adding sound etc. While some can choose to record their message in a studio or with their phone recorder and then upload it on Anchor. However you choose to do it, it's all up to you.

  3. The third step after recording your message is to upload and publish it.

  4. In this stage, I'd like to advise you to share your podcast with your family and friends and even tell them to subscribe to your podcast channel. Also tell them to help you share the podcast to their friends too.

What are the various ways you can monetize your podcast?


There are many ways you can monetize your Podcast and whatever way you choose to monetize is largely dependent on you as the individual.


  • You can monetize your podcast by being an online podcast consultant. Your job will be to help people know more about podcasting and how they can navigate through the world of podcasting. This you can do by attaching a price tag for your services.

  • Another way you can monetize your Podcast is through subscribers and listeners. Some platforms pay a podcaster for the number of people that are subscribed and listen to their podcast.

  • You can also make money from being featured in podcast sessions by other podcasters. Just like it happens in the music industry, where an artiste can feature another popular artiste in their song and pay the featured artiste a certain amount of money as they signed and agreed to. So in podcasting, you can also be featured and get paid for it.


This is an important side note; when we talk of monetization, many tend to overlook the building process involved in anything that can generate them money. 


Our platform does not support illegal or get quick rich monetization models. We therefore employ our readers to focus on providing value to their listeners first and monetization will follow suit.


Don't forget to implement and be patient as you grow your podcast listenership and subscribers.
