Start a Podcast
A podcast is an audio series where you talk about specific subjects, such as parenting, business, or any other topic you're interested in. You can start a podcast using a microphone, recording software, and a platform like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Google Podcasts. Once your episodes are uploaded, listeners can tune in and hear what you have to say. Podcasts can be monetized through sponsorships, ads, or even by promoting your own products and services.
EXAMPLE
A South African parent could start a podcast where they share tips on managing work and family life, or speak about their experiences of running a side hustle while raising kids. They can then promote their affiliate links, ebooks, or courses on the podcast, earning money while helping others.

With internet access and a microphone, anyone can start a podcast from home. Plus, South Africa’s diverse culture offers rich topics that can attract local and international listeners.
