Podcast Monetization is seldom about the ads. If you're an entrepreneur thinking about Podcasting, here are 5 things to consider.

Despite the excitement about the Facebook Podcast updates for late 2021, they will do nothing to help your Podcast.

But, you can leverage what they've done for the sake of your Podcast. 

The Medium article about Facebook Consumption - https://medium.com/@PaulColligan/want-your-audience-to-actually-consume-your-content-give-podcasting-a-second-look-or-listen-da9678f9100a?source=friends_link&sk=dadfcda4ad9ba691f450c7b2f036b62d

When you OWN the network, Facebook going doing doesn't matter, YouTube demonetizing you doesn't matter, Spotify running in and out of favor doesn't matter.

What matters is what you do with your content, with your network. 

Be smart with it

P.s., this is MUCH bigger than owning the URL or someone else publishing your feed..
