#040: PodSchool: The Podcaster's Guide to Making and Selling Your First Digital Product
When I think about the most impactful and accessible ways for podcasters to make money from podcasting, especially within the first year, it’s having a digital product. Most of the time your first digital product can be created with minimal time and limited overhead. The biggest question is, what are you going to make and how are you going to sell it?
In this episode we’ll work through these two specific questions: what kind of digital product will you create? (What could that look like for you and your podcast?) Then how will you sell it? (How can you take this idea and actually turn it into a product your audience wants to buy?)
