Work with Kevin 1:1 to Install a Revenue-Driving Podcast Into Your Business -- Amanda McLoughlin is the Founder and CEO of Multitude, a podcast collective based in New York City. 5 years ago, Amanda was working 9-to-5 for a finance company by day, and making a folklore podcast with her friend Julia Schifini on nights and weekends. That podcast, Spirits, was monetized from Day one, and pretty soon Amanda and Julia were able to make podcasting their full-time job. As Amanda and Julia's personal network of podcasters grew, they realized that they should all pool their resources together into a DIY podcast network. With that, the Multitude Podcast Collective was born. This past December, Amanda was named by Forbes 30 Under 30 for her work monetizing podcasts and helping creators to grow, while still owning their work. Today, she's going to teach you how she does it - and how you too can monetize your podcast right now.
