Make Money Hosting Your Own Talk Shows

This is an opportunity that I have discovered this morning thanks to Alex. He wrote a post in his famous BlogAboutMoney blog about “an Internet radio/podcasting site that allows you to host your own live online radio talk shows known as ‘talkcasts’. TalkShoe uses Java chat client and conference call bridge to make it happen. When the talk show is finished, it’s available for download, and the sweetest part is that you can get paid for hosting your own talkcasts”.
What I like about this opportunity is the possibility of doing something creative and earn money at the same time. I see some potential, but the main drawback is that only few talk shows will be able to gather enough people. That’s why traffic is so vital.

There are three things I would suggest if you choose to create your own talk show:

1. stick to only 1 or 2 subjects only…

2. invite experts and not newbies…

3. find a niche for your podcast…

Alex what is your experience with podcasting and this website in particular?
