In this episode, Paul Colligan explores whether new monetization models have emerged in podcasting or if success still relies on time-tested strategies. He emphasizes the importance of understanding your market, crafting a compelling message, and selecting the right medium to effectively monetize your content. Paul discusses how new technologies can enhance traditional monetization approaches without replacing foundational principles.
