Monetization Stage
Our very own Grace Kane, Director of Business Development for Simplecast & AdsWizz, spoke to podcasters who have embraced marketplace monetization as an effective and rewarding way to sustain their shows. That means they tackled misinformation, like whether podcast listeners actually hate hearing ads that aren’t host-read, and discussed how to get started as an independent podcast creator.
