To make money with your podcast, it is essential to develop a set of characteristics that will make you effective and relevant to your audience. Here's seven habits you must embody if you want to podcast for profit based on interviews with highly Profitable Podcasters.-Be Passionate - The money doesn't happen right away. Profitable Podcasters don't start podcasting for the money. Instead, their motivation for starting a podcast is to share their passion with the world.-Have Integrity - Profitable Podcasters operate from a position of transparency and honesty. They are clear about their values and understand that their morals will never be compromised.-Build a Community - Profitable Podcasters understand that their audience isn't just a group of listeners or viewers, that they are people who are looking for a place to belong. Profitable Podcasters integrate the tools that will encourage their audience to interact, not only with the host, but with other audience members.-Have a Purpose - Planning is the cornerstone of growing a successful podcast. Profitable Podcasters have a clear goal and know how their podcast will help them reach it.-Be of Service - Profitable Podcasters understand that while they can't give everything away for free, they can share enough information to help their audience through their pain points and turn their challenges into triumphs.-Connect with Others - No matter how popular Profitable Podcasters become, they still attend industry events, share their knowledge at conferences and speak about lessons learned at trade shows. Profitable Podcasters continue to contribute to other podcasts by leaving comments or leaving feedback on an audio comment line.-Be Yourself - Just because a formula worked for another podcast doesn't mean you have to adopt it for yourself. Profitable Podcasters don't copy others. Instead, they carve their own path instead of taking the path already traveled. None of these habits has anything to do with money. Instead, each habit highlights guiding principles to help you realize who is the ultimate focus of your podcast - your audience.
