Why did you start your podcast? Was it for money, passion, or both? Today, we play a TikTok clip from the Okay Sister Pod that lays out three honest tips for launching a show. Their takes sparked a lively debate. Some agreed that podcasting shouldn’t begin with money as the goal, while others argued that it is possible to earn if you approach it with a clear plan and treat it like a business. We also discuss the reality of low early downloads, why consistency matters more than a weekly schedule, and how to reframe your analytics. To close out the week, we keep our Friday tradition alive by sharing and celebrating wins from our community.Episode Highlights: [03:21] TikTok Clip: Okay Sister Pod Launch Tips[06:00] Don’t Do It for the Money Debate[09:00] Business Plans, Sponsorships, and Monetization[13:00] Why Podcasting Is Harder Than It Looks[26:00] Slow Growth and Managing Expectations[36:00] Consistency and Communication [41:00] Friday WinsLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Get Your Tickets for The Empowered Podcasting Conference:www.empoweredpodcasting.comClip From Okay Sister Pod:www.tiktok.com/@okaysisterpod/video/7362940797903310122It’s Amanda Yoa:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-amanda-yoa/id1646444562ReThinking Podcasting by Matt Bliss:https://rethinkingpodcasting.com/episode/alive-internet-theory-and-actually-seeing-your-listenersLate Bloomer Living by Yvonne Marchese:https://www.latebloomerliving.com/Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.
