How this entrepreneur used Podcasting to Make Money Online:
“I should have given up after two weeks,” says Matt. “My downloads were almost non-existent. But it wasn’t about the downloads. If I could give just one person the information they needed to push through and not give up on their business journey, I was achieving my ‘why.’”
Lessons learnt in establishing an income with Podcasting Online:
It’s all about the ‘why’… “It’s funny, but failing in six different businesses actually taught me this lesson,” says Matt. “Success often comes after the lessons that failure brings. It’s incredibly motivating to know you’re creating something of real value and that you’re making a difference. It’s what’s kept me going when things have gotten tough as well.”
