How To Make Money Podcasting: Monetizati...

EYL NETWORK
About this episode

In this insightful clip, Lex P and Drea Nicole of the Pour Minds podcast join Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings from Earn Your Leisure to break down exactly how successful podcasters make money. If you’ve ever wondered how top podcasts generate multiple streams of income, this conversation is a must-watch.


Lex and Drea get real about the many ways Pour Minds has built revenue—from ad deals, YouTube streams, and Patreon, to live shows, merchandise, ebooks, online courses, and even unique brand partnerships. They share what types of advertisers approach them, why some brands (surprisingly) DON’T sponsor their content, and how their approach to guest booking shaped a loyal and engaged community—the “Pour Crew.”


The discussion dives into:

  • Building multiple income streams as a podcaster
  • The truth behind ad revenue and sponsorships
  • Using YouTube, Patreon, and social media to get paid
  • Merch sales, ebooks, courses, and hosting events for extra cash
  • Tips for building a long-lasting, supportive audience
  • How authenticity and engagement pay off in podcasting
  • Behind-the-scenes stories of booking big events and getting their own TV show


Whether you’re a podcaster looking to scale up, a content creator searching for inspiration, or a fan of real business talk, this clip is packed with gems and actionable advice.
