How To Monetize a podcast is different from monetizing an ebook or Saas product. The methods for monetizing podcasts are not as obvious as other internet content. The amount of money a host gets from sponsorships depends on many factors. The download numbers need to be high and consistent before companies will advertise.

The monthly downloads numbers companies want can range from 1,000 to 5,000 per episode.
