Of all the questions I get about podcasting, one question seems to be almost universal. That question is can you make money podcasting? That’s the question people want the know about.
At the last Blogworld conference, I learned that there are people making money. The key is having your own product and using your content to promote your product.
The reason I revisit this, is that I just read a great report by a guy named Gideon Shalwick. I’had never heard of Gideon before, but I saw his report referred to by a number of people I know. So, I signed up and got his report. It’s free, so why not.
What I found was really interesting. Gideon has taken the next step in the business model. Gideon shows how to turn your video podcast into a business.

Monetizing Joy
Jill Peterson and Kevin Heinz’s JK Wedding Entrance Dance video on Youtube has met with extraordinary viral success. As I write this, the video has been viewed 17.3 million times. It is a joy to watch and I’m sure it was a joyous day as well. Jill and Kevin have added links to the video and to the video download page to support the Sheila Wellstone Institute, which is dedicated to ensuring that ending violence against women and children is a national priority.
I hope the 17+ million viewers have been able to make a serious donation to the institute.

YouTube – Now a Video Management and Delivery Platform
YouTube announced the launch of YouTube Everywhere. This opens up YouTube services and functionality to be used on every website or application that wants to integrate with YouTube and use its services.
