Value for Value or (podcasting 2.0) is NOT just about streaming Satoshi's (a very small amount of bitcoin). Today, we will discuss asking for support and what tools fit best for your situation.

I may earn a small commission for some of these as I participate in their affiliate program. This costs you nothing and supports the show.

Platforms Discussed:

Donation Only (No RSS Tools)

Premium Content Tools

All of these platforms have their own strengths. If I just wanted to accept money, I'd use Buy Me a Coffee. If I wanted to sell premium content, I would use Supercast (although Captivate and Buzzsprout are very attractive if you are using them for hosting). Supercast has a super easy onboarding for new listeners with a two-click install, and their percentage is in alignment with others (if not less).

Keep In Mind:

A show with WOW content will likely get around 3% of its audience to engage.

New podcasters should focus on building great content and their audience instead of monetizing, which can lead to disappointment.

There are MANY other ways to make money with your podcast besides advertising and asking for support. See my book Profit From Your Podcast.
