Can You Make Money with a Podcast?
Podcasts have become a revolution in communication. Many still consider this format to be Internet radio, but in reality, experts say that it is much more than that and that it offers new opportunities to earn income, even to make a living from it.
All the big communication companies are currently betting on broadcasting content through this format. The options of reaching a much larger audience are very attractive. In addition, one of the advantages of the podcast is that anyone can start their project with practically no means.
