This opened up huge possibilities for many of our listeners (including me).Today I will share with you 10 ways Heidi has identified to make money from podcasting, as well as tell you what podcasting is.What Is A Podcast?If you have an MP3 player, such as an ipod, you can go to places like iTunes and download music to your iPod. You can also subscribe to a "feed" which means every time you open up your computer, iTunes will automatically download the latest audio in the series you have subscribed to. You can then listen to it on your MP3, computer or even burn to CD.A podcast uses the same system (an RSS feed) and you can download interviews etc that you have created. In fact, people can download your podcast through iTunes.
