Episode 11 of Profitable Podcasting brings Andrew Baron of Rocketboom in a fascinating discussion of the ‘Boom’s move to Blip.TV in a “non-exclusive” ad sales relationship.

In Episode 10 of Profitable Podcasting, I had the privilege of chatting with Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio. He doesn’t charge for his Podcast and has no sponsors. He also sells no product of his own yet he sees $3,000.00 to $5,000.00 a month in donations from his audience. That’s $36 to […]

This isn’t your “traditional” episode of Paul’s Profitable Podcasting, but is is an important recording for anyone interested in the topic.

In Paul’s Profitable Podcasting #4, Paul Colligan interviews Steven Prussack of RawVeganRadio.com.  First, this guy Podcasts what he knows and loves.  Secondly, he’s making a great profit from it.
