Even if your podcast <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/top-tips-for-creating-a-successful-podcast-for-your-membership-site\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">has a sizable audience<\/a>, that might not necessarily translate to direct profits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Third-party platforms<\/strong> like Spotify and Apple Podcasts pay incredibly low amounts for each listen. <strong>Unless millions of people stream your podcast, you\u2019re unlikely to make any real money from these platforms<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/apple-podcasts.png\" alt=\"Apple Podcasts\" class=\"wp-image-36421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/apple-podcasts.png 800w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/apple-podcasts-300x255.png 300w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/apple-podcasts-768x653.png 768w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/apple-podcasts-200x170.png 200w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/apple-podcasts-722x614.png 722w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/apple-podcasts-609x518.png 609w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/apple-podcasts-156x133.png 156w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>For this reason, many podcast creators rely on memberships to make a profit.
