[@AlGibani123]

mostly from sponsorships

[@CatarinaMangel]

I was really surprised to find out podcasts are a much lucrative and less time consuming job than KZbin. That really motivated me into doing podcasts. Thank you, this is a very informative and well researched video 😁

[@nicholejacklyne]

This is literally so interesting dude. Motivating me to get back on my podcast game

[@ShelbyChurch]

everyone’s gonna have one by the end of the quarantine 😂

[@upaymetv4978]

So what if no one download the episodes but they get thousands of views, does that count for anything In the podcast network eyes or people must download them? I’m asking because I never download anything.

[@krishcshah]

@@ShelbyChurch so when are you starting your podcast!?

[@silentjohnny4988]

@@upaymetv4978 this is a legitimate question why hasnt anyone answered smh

[@g0ne_dark]

I've been looking for a straightforward video like this forever, and yours was perfect. I love how you consulted with other people with varying stats to compare income, super helpful. I'm gonna check out your other vids! Thank you for sharing this!

[@GretchenGeraghty7]

love how this video came out Shelby!! you work so hard + make the most interesting content💛 happy I could help!

She does such a great job!

[@mrnoface1348]

Hey Gretchen.... Quick question.. who do you use for a host?

[@sersastark]

I was gonna start a KZbin but a podcast seems better, bc a) I don't like being on camera, and b) its way less censored. I love that you did this!

[@TechCryptoNow]

Interesting! I never really thought about podcasts as a good source of income prior to this! Very good video, and keep this type of content coming! Great job Shelby!

[@wasabijones4571]

Im a Tim Ferriss fan and I can tell you why he makes a lot of money from his ads and why he puts them only in the beginning. 1- He charges alot of money for his ads because he is very genuine with his recommendations (ads). He only advertises products/services that he would use himself and his fans know that so the ROI advertisers get from these ads are usually high. 2-Tim Ferriss is a big believer in single tasking and focus so he would rather you listen be engaged in the podcast without any ads interrupting the flow of the podcast.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

You always have very different topics on your channel but they are always interesting and your videos are just awesome. You are doing an amazing job!

[@TheRideshareHub]

I really like the direction this channel is going to: Tech, Tesla and Moneymaking. I'm a fan.

Did you ever make money from podcasts?

[@BalancingLifeStyles]

I loooooove your content and you were actually the first person to get me started on my health journey of healthier options for myself and family. You are the best!

[@manuelita467]

Turn your videos into podcast too

[@RemotelyNews]

Great content Shelby! BTW, any of your KZbin posts that do not depend on the visuals are ready to post as a podcast without much more work; you should consider that since you are already getting good audio for the video content you produce it could mean a simple stripping out the audio and uploading it to a podcast host. NPR is the gold standard for podcasting, they have the best mics, great production values, etc. but they also recommend a lower bit rate for audio publishing. I found that curious of course since everyone seems to go the other way, right. Apparently they have found that folks are not listening on expensive systems/headphones and since a podcast is essentially a radio broadcast with a sexy name they prefer to make their podcasts download quicker for their audience and a lower audio bit rate translates to a much smaller file for long programs. The additional benefit is they consume less space in the cloud. Lots of folks starting out have to be aware of the cost of storing their podcasts so all of the NPR advice makes sense.

[@amherst2013]

I really like how Shelby knows ways to find new interesting topics!

[@lisapotter8365]

Shelby, thank you for making this video. So smart of you to be asking these questions. The equipment is so helpful. Thank you to all of those featured in your video for sharing their experience.

[@MommaFromScratch]

these style videos are so interesting. thank you for doing all this again. You should start one!

[@ericwashington2451]

Really and truly one of the best videos Ive ever seen. Straight forward and to the point with usable info and real value without dragging everything out. Not too long and not too short. You actually made me subscribe. which is a lot, so thanks and good luck. Keep the good info coming.

[@WOLFCREEKBOYS]

Just subbed after the amazon Video hit my recommended. There are so many youtubers with huge sub numbers that just come across phony. You seem very natural on camera and really provide interesting content. 👍👍

[@tammybee9]

This is so funny! I just went to Anchor and on their page about ads, it's YOU reading it, Shelby! Well done!

[@jaxx-inspiregrowcreate2862]

*Podcasts are blowing up! I listen to them on the daily.*

Shelby you are so transparent and honest with your viewers. That's what makes you stand out from other youtubers.

[@MamaDoctorJones]

This is super helpful to me as I consider doing a podcast! Thanks Shelby.

[@gibben3479]

Shelby, one thing to think about is that this video could be a podcast, the information is not reliant on the visuals. I listened to most of this vid without watching and was still very entertained,

[@Subie]

Omg something I always wondered but too lazy to look up or research!! Lemme quickly run to chipotle grab my guac & bowl & get ready for dis fire video🤩😂

[@PeakedInterest]

Demystifying youtube, podcasting, Instagram etc is something more people should do. You earned a sub. Congrats

[@TokerElCholo]

I bet your numbers are way higher during this quarantine

[@bishrhabib3762]

actually less money is being pumped into ads because most businesses are losing :( so I don't think she's making a lot more during this quarantine

[@Briae]

@@bishrhabib3762 But views overall are up and so are lives. If they sponsor their own products, services, etc. they can still make money. However, right now is a great period of growth, branding, and building audiences. Monetization will spring back up once this is all said & done and the economy is on a healthy track again (whenever that is)

[@bishrhabib3762]

Briae yeah everything comes with pros and cons.. more viewers = higher chance to grow as you said.. but it is true tho there is way less money in ads now

[@BensbergFilms]

@@bishrhabib3762 Correct, my tech channel has been doing about 10k views more per day but money is the same or slightly lower per day:(

[@lourensed]

Actually it is like 30% down I heard? No source sorry. But a lot of people listen to podcasts in their commute which is cut out now

[@BetoEats]

This video really opened my eyes and has gotten me motivated to start a podcast. Everyone around has always told me that I am a pretty motivational guy due to my work ethic and positivity. I’ve always wanted to share this with people and I believe a podcast would be perfect for this 🙏🏼. Thanks for making this video 😊

Please do a video on how quarantine effects the views/ cpm of videos and how it effects content creators in general 😍

[@RafaelLechado]

This was a really greeeeaaaat video about podcasting. I have my own, im from Nicaragua and it is in spanish, its about movies and tv series. I want to congratulate you for this fine video, i loved the editing and the effort you put on explaining details about this world that i love so much. I watch a ton of content about podcasting and definitely this was one of the coolest ive ever seen. Keep up the good work and yes, do your podcast!

[@NatalieBarbu]

This was so interesting!! Loved it especially as someone who has a podcast :)

You are the best KZbinr because you are the only one I’ve found that pulls back the covers on how careers on the web work, and are fully transparent. Thank you!

[@myothercarisadelorean8957]

For the longest time I kept wondering what the hell is a podcast as opposed to a internet radio show. Then I realized a podcast is just a non live radio show. I deserve a cookie.

[@ShristiGhimire]

Your honesty is the most attractive thing about your Channel

[@sophiaromano4412]

this was really interesting, loved how you showed a variety of different people showing different success stories!!! I never knew people could make this much with podcast!!!

[@OmarDelawar]

Whoa I didn't know you could make that much. I've been watching a few other KZbin videos who claim you only make like $2.5 CPM on anchor and about $188 bucks for 74K plays but I think that is without sponsors. Good video though Shelby! Your following on KZbin is growing too! Making that bank!

[@AdamAnderson864]

Love the insights! One thing to also consider is that ad rates also fluctuate based on the space you're in. Ex: lifestyle podcasts, sexuality podcasts, and finance podcasts will make significantly different rates even with the same audience / download sizes. Lastly, you'll need a few extra pieces of equipment for the wonderful SM7B Audio Interface (Focusrite solo or 2i2 would be perfect for the mic you have because you'll really need to bump up the levels significantly) XLR Cable Mic stand (boom or arm stands) Shock mount

[@theamoremovement8773]

Shelby, this was great!! My fiance and I were working on how to set up a podcast, so thank you soooooo so much!! ❣

Thanks for this Shelby! I have been a youtuber for years - never have done it for the money though. However I am going to start a podcast and knowing that you can make decent money is fantastic news! I thoroughly enjoy talking so, pretty rad to know I could make bank from talking some day! :D Love and Light -

[@KeepitWausome]

Great video! I took a third option: local advertising. Since my podcast is focused on my local region, I had no problem selling advertising with only a reach of 100-300 per episode. The downside is I had to suspend all my ads because of the Coronavirus. Also, one thing about Anchor - if I recall correctly they actually own your podcast when you signup with them. Some might not care but something to consider.

[@firstname8348]

This is super interesting.

[@ratlips4363]

I am just getting involved in podcasting. I've sent away for my mic system, have a program for recording and editing, but your posting here was the first time that I have heard about people talking about how much money can be made. Thanks so much for a very informative video

[@BaileyEvin]

This was so well done, Shelby! it’s my dream for my podcast Kinda Cute to get some sponsors one day!

[@rocnred]

Good video. Great info. I am one of those people who care about the sound quality. I lose my patience pretty fast if the podcaster wants me to listen to it but does not take the time to get a good microphone/sound. It feels like, "If they don't care...why should I care" and I leave. Don't discount the quality of the audio. Yes, that SM7B is a great sounding mic.

[@BurnPhoenix135]

just wanna drop in and say I love the content of your videos and how you thoroughly do your research and show evidence for things you claim. I also can see how much effort goes into all this as well as the filming and editing of your videos (love the b-rolls and aesthetic, easy to understand editing structure) so really, thanks for doing such a good job!! I'm excited to see more videos :^)

"When people from the Bachelor started making podcasts, I knew there must be money in it." the SHADE true though

[@CarissaGlow]

So true haha love it 😂

[@cactusstudiossouth]

I started my 1st. Podcast in 2001 using a Samsung CO01 bundled with Audiocity! Around the same time when Protools came out! Of course they were called Audiobooks back then, the word podcast didn't even exist! Most of the clientele were bands that we recorded live as close to being in the studio at about 1/10th. the budget so it was very popular. But the Podcast thing intrigues me, I find myself with a lot of time on my hands these days and plenty to talk about! Your voice is quintessential to this industry, having that, "Rasp" on the end of your vowels which your listeners absolutely love! That is your most powerful tool in your audio arsenal! Play it up!

[@joshyii1675]

Note: Blue Yeti mic is a side address mic, to get the best quality audio, speak into the side of it, not the top of it :)

[@JohnFranck]

Josh Yii I was looking for this comment. Not enough people realize that and really short sell their quality, or worse, spend unneeded money because they think the yeti is a bad mic.

[@Joey2750]

Thank u I was about to say this I’m starting to think people talk into the top to make it look like a more expensive podcast/radio style mic which can take a away from the listeners experience in reality the type of mic shouldn’t matter a cheep mic used properly can sound amazing and an expensive mic with bad technique will sound poor as SpongeBob once said “Technique” as for the quality of the blue Yeti most people use it in an treated room and since its a condenser mic it has a higher sensitivity to noise but when used properly with the right tools i.e sound damping and some plugins ( if needed ) it can sound great as well

[@tohkenghoe]
