What a Baby Boomer, a Work at Hom Mom and a Farmer Can Teach You About Podcasting for Profit

Many still believe that podcasts are being produced by tech savvy, young men for tech savvy young men. Yet, as more and more podcasters start to make money with their podcast, the demographics are changing.

Those who are podcasting for profit come from a variety of ages, backgrounds and circumstances. Here are 3 podcasters who are making money with their podcast who target audiences that are not tech savvy, young or male.

Ripple Outdoors Podcast

Peter Wood is an award winning journalist and photographer. He recently took early retirement to focus on his podcast full time. His podcast, Ripple Outdoors, is published weekly and features interviews with hunting and fishing experts. As a baby boomer, Wood makes money indirectly through his podcast. He uses his podcast to open doors and make warm calls to CEO and Presidents of companies he feels would be great sponsors for his podcast.

Whatever! Podcast

Beverly Mahone recently married and raises her daughter with her husband. Although she has over 20 years experience in radio and television broadcasting, Mahone has no desire to return to Corporate America. Instead, she launched a podcast called Whatever! where she gives tips to women on how to manage their lives stress-free. Mahone relies on sponsorship to cover the production costs of her show. She charges $250 per company and she gets at least 4 sponsors per show. Mahone uses her new found income to buy 'diva things'.

Gastrocast TV

Living on an island on a farm has isolated Neal Foley from many people. Otherwise known as Podchef, Foley uses his podcast called Gastrocast TV to share information about preparing meals and how politics influences food. Foley makes money podcasting in 2 ways:

Through tip jars placed on his podcast page. People make a monetary contribution through PayPal.
Selling a book that contains recipes he's featured in past shows.

Podcasting for profit is realistic if you think creatively. Employ the tactics that a baby boomer, a work at home mom and a farmer are using to make money podcasting and you'll soon replicate this success for yourself.
