If you’re a hobbyist podcaster that wouldn’t mind covering your costs, upgrading equipment or putting a few bucks in your pocket, you might want to consider starting a Patreon campaign. On this week’s episode, we’re talking about one of the methods that any podcaster (including hobbyists) can use to monetize.News
- On last week’s episode, we talked about Spotify adding podcasting to their service. This week, it was announced that Libsyn and Spotify have partnered in this endeavor.
- Podcast Movement makes a huge announcement: Glenn Beck will be keynoting at their conference this summer in Ft. Worth, Texas. The response to this announcement was very mixed and we share our opinions on Mr. Beck’s involvement with the conference.
- On this episode, we also share that the three of us will be attending Podcast Movement. We’re very excited because this conference has lined up top notch speakers and you know the networking will be incredible.

Nick and Corey use Patreon to help fund their podcasts and that’s what we’re talking about this week. We’ll talk about what Patreon is and how we set our Patreon campaigns up as far as levels and perks. We share how we present our Patreon campaigns to our listeners and encourage them to support the podcast. Then, we talk about how our podcasts have benefitted from the Patreon campaign and how we’ve been able to improve our podcasts through this support.
