Here is exactly what I’ve made from this podcast.
We’re throwing the stale rules of etiquette out the window and answering one of my most asked questions: Do you make money from podcasting? So here’s the honest truth: yes! …and no. This podcast started as, and still is, a passion project. If I didn’t love it I would have quit a looong time ago.
Maybe the numbers will surprise you, but do you want to know what really surprised me? Even with all the hats I’d worn, I never thought podcaster, coach, or consultant would be my current ones. So I’m breaking it down for you, year-by-year and dollar-by-dollar, am I making money from podcasting?
You gotta spend money to make money…right?
I’ve added up all my expenses in almost 3 years of podcasting, everything from babysitters to business coaches, so you can see how much this podcast costs me. And, I’ve tallied my income (spoiler – my most recent workshop made 100x my first consult), which I share to be as transparent as possible.
Of course, after all the numbers are said and done, I’m weighing in on what I see as success and what I see as failure. Because if nothing else, I have grown here on this platform in ways I never expected. So now’s as good a time as any to sneak this in: if you have been wanting to launch a podcast I have something big coming. You can sign up to receive podcasting tips from me, and be one of the first to hear my big announcement.

Monica, I am proud of you transitioning the past year to a BUSINESS! It takes serious work and effort to make that shift from hobbyist. Proud of you! Keep climbing.
Monica, I LOVED hearing this!! Thanks for sharing what you’re paying for and the details of it all. That’s helpful info. I’d love to have you on the Teacher Transition podcast when I get it up and running a little later this year if you’d be interested! 🙌 Thanks for the positive example and influence! ☀️💛☀️
