Podcasting for Profit - 3 Ways to Generate an Income Through Audio or Video Podcasts
November 13, 2007
There are dozens of ways podcasters are earning an income through audio and video podcasting beyond advertising and sponsorship. Discover how you can podcast for profit using 3 methods - direct, indirect and integrated.
Direct Method = Tools to use to monetize your podcast content
You would get paid for playing an audio advertisement, for mentioning a product, for selling your premium content or by asking your audience for a donation. While having an audience is a key ingredient to how much you can charge, you’re making money from directly selling your content to others or asking others to subsidize the cost of producing your podcast content.
Examples of the direct method are:
Advertising
Sponsorship
Tip Jars
Donations
Premium Content
Paid Subscriptions
Licensing
Selling Archived Content
Grants
Indirect Method = Opportunities that help you monetize your podcast knowledge and skills
You would make money by being hired to speak or teach others about podcasting. Whether you get a book deal or sign a TV contract, whether you lead a workshop or speak in front of an audience, you are making money indirectly from podcasting simply because your skills and expertise is in hot demand.
Examples of the indirect method are:
Speaking Engagements
Book or Music Deals
Presentations
Consulting
Teaching
Job Opportunities
Movie or TV Contracts
Integrated Method = Techniques to monetize your audience by turning them into customers
You use your podcast to generate leads and turn your audience into paying customers. This is especially effective for those who sell products and services and need a way to turn that valuable podcast audience into clients.
Examples of the integrated method are:
Affiliate Marketing
Selling Services
Selling Products
Selling Memberships
List Building
Contests / Surveys
Merchandise

Finding Your Millionare Mentor: A Shortcut to Success
November 12, 2007
There is one key ingredient to success that is often overlooked.
If you are working on your dreams, you might be just one ingredient away from unlocking and unleashing your destiny.
You might be one ingredient away from living your dreams.
You might be one ingredient away from becoming a Millionaire or Multi-Millionaire or even a Billionaire.
This one ingredient often means the difference between taking decades to reach your goals or speeding up the pace of advancement to a matter of days.
That one ingredient is a Mentor.
There are seeds of greatness within you right now, but sometimes it takes the assistance of a Mentor to help you on your way.
I have been blessed to have had many types of mentors throughout my life, from teachers in grade school, to youth service workers in my community, to business people who saw something in me and encouraged me or offered to guide me.
I lived in the same impoverished ghetto as people who went on to join gangs, drop out of school, become addicted to drugs, and many of them are no longer with us. They made different choices. Those people had the same potential within them that I did. But I had mentors to look up to.
I made a decision as a youth, to search out positive Mentors. Not just as a one time thing, but as a lifelong mission. And even though I have gone on to success in mentoring thousands of people, I still Mentor others and I still seek out Mentors.
When mentors appeared, I embraced them and studied them. I read what they told me to read, I went where they told me to go and I did what they told me to do.
What makes a great Mentor?
A great Mentor sees more potential in you than you do in yourself.
A great Mentor can show you the way and point out things you might not otherwise see or be aware of. Sometimes weaknesses, sometimes strengths, sometimes patterns that you unconsciously practice that hold you back.
A great Mentor believes in you.
A great Mentor inspires you.
A great Mentor knows that the same seeds of greatness that were inside them are inside you too.
A great Mentor cultivates and nourishes those seeds, they help you grow.
A great Mentor helps you bridge the gap from where you are now to where you want to be.
A great Mentor Coaches you to breakthrough your limiting beliefs.
I have been invited to be a part of an amazing new movement to bring you some of the greatest Mentors of our lifetime. It is actually one of the most powerful, positive projects I have ever seen and you can be a part of it too.
If you would like to learn from today’s most empowering leaders, I urge you to head over to http://www.MillionaireMentor.com and sign up so you can be part of this incredible experience.
I want you to reach your goals. I want you to live your dreams. I want you to have access to the BEST Mentors anywhere in the world.
All you have to do is take the next step.

Live Your Dreams,
