So that can be a product or service, but it can also be that you solve the problem of providing information that is not available anywhere else. THE TING ABOUT THREE YEARSI do need to clarify that I've said it takes three years to build an audience, and that is when people I interviewed for my book Profit From Your Podcast started making notable income.However, it's not the three years that enable them to make money.
