Beschreibung

Podcasts are exploding in popularity—but behind every successful show is someone making sure it sounds professional, looks polished, and gets noticed. What most teachers don’t realize is that they already have the skills to join this growing industry and create reliable, recurring income.

This practical guide shows you how to launch a side hustle helping podcasters with editing, audio clean-up, show notes, and even visual assets like cover art and episode graphics. You’ll learn where to find clients, how to price your services, and the simple tools that make professional-quality podcast production possible on a budget.

Designed with educators in mind, this book strips away technical jargon and focuses on clear, actionable steps. If you’ve ever wanted to step into the world of digital media without being in the spotlight, this is your blueprint.

Help creators shine—and earn steady paychecks doing it.
