I get most of my income producing podcasts for clients but it’s my aim to turn my own podcast into a profitable, sustainable business. I run the Indie Bites show, which is 15 minute conversations with indie founders, currently doing about $700 a month in revenue. I also have a podcast course called 2HourPodcast and a handmade leather wallet business, both of which I’d like to grow over the year.→ James' Twitter→ Indie Bites - Indie founder chats→ 2 Hour Podcast - Podcasting course→ Whitstable Craft Co - Handmade leather wallets→ PodPanda - Podcast editing
