    Unless you’re famous, wildly charismatic, or have some very specialized knowledge I’m not sure how you break into the podcasting game. I mean you could have a podcast, but it wouldn’t earn you a living.

    Farming you could have microgreens or mushrooms in customer hands in a few weeks and that could be done from a closet after watching some youtube videos.

      I see farmers’ protests almost every quarter about how they are struggling, how bad big farm competition is, how the equipment they need is prohibitively expensive and vendor locked, how any seeds that they need to be competitive are patented and exorbitant in costs. I didn’t know farming was so easy.

      Someone tell the farmers to watch youtube videos and clear out their closets. They clearly are doing something wrong.

        You’re missing my point.

        There’s zero income if you’re an unknown podcaster and there’s zero demand for it.

        Almost anyone can grow something and there’s always demand for fresh produce.

        I could work equally hard at either task and one would actually net returns for my work. This isn’t saying farming is easy.

      Yep, just that easy to earn a living through farming!

      That comment 🤣

        I’m not saying working your way up to earning a living farming would be any way easy, but you could be earning something a lot sooner than a podcast if you’re starting from zero in both scenarios.

          You could also just Uber and make 4x as much for less effort.

      There’s a lot you can do in the closet after watching some YouTube videos.

        I spent all of my teenage years in the closet and I did indeed watch YouTube as a kid

      Unless you’re famous, wildly charismatic, or have some very specialized knowledge I’m not sure how you break into the podcasting game.

      There are only two real options:

      1. Be part of an existing popular podcast. If you get to be a guest appearance and you’re charismatic enough, you can get invited back more often until you’re a regular. Get good enough to get your own following and then you can eventually break off and do your own thing with sponsorships from the get-go.

      2. Be famous for something else first. If you’re a celebrity, author, streamer, YouTube personality, etc., you can start a podcast from nothing and have your sponsors and listeners already lined up.
