Libsyn + YouTube, Making Money, Trailer Swaps (3 Things)

3 Things in Podcasting for June 21st, 2024:

1. Libsyn Adds YouTube API Support Libsyn has integrated with YouTube's new podcast API, allowing creators to easily publish video versions of their podcasts directly to YouTube. This is a major development for video podcasters.
2. When to Start Monetizing Your Podcast Contrary to popular belief, you don't need massive download numbers to monetize a podcast. I argue that you should plan for monetization before even launching, through methods like sponsorships, product sales, affiliates, or memberships - don't just rely on CPM advertising.
3. Advice on Podcast Trailer Swaps I share great tips from Kieran McRae on creating effective 30-60 second podcast trailers for swapping with other shows to cross-promote audiences.
