Podcasting Works!

Matthew’s First LinkShare CheckIt’s true! Podcasting not only sells albums and tracks on iTunes, but it makes money for the podcasters as well.

Here on the High Orbit Podcast, every link to iTunes or CD Baby is an affiliate link, so if you buy someone’s cool album from those links, I’m supposed to get a small commission.

Matthew’s First $1.09 LinkShare CheckWell, my first check arrived in the mail today, and I couldn’t be happier. See, look at the joy on my face!

See? You actually can earn money from podcasting! It’s true! With this single check I could… well, play some tunes in a jukebox, or buy one single iTunes track, or buy 1/3 of a small latté.

Yeah, the check is for a whopping $1.09, but it’s a small battle won against the RIAA. Isn’t it? Right?

    Matthew,

    That’s $1.09 that the RIAA doesn’t get. Good on ya!

    Always nice to see that the music we promote in the podcasts actually results in sales for the artist.

    - off topic - Why do I have this urge to start a caption competition on the first picture? *grin*

    Mike-

    Well… not exactly. If the person buys Duran Duran, I still get my .09¢ per track (or whatever). But still… it feels good. Maybe a victory over ClearChannel?

    Every little bit you get is something they don’t get. That’s the point I guess!

    Happy tweeting!
