Podcasting: Patreon’s Top-Earning Category

According to Patreon, podcasting was its highest-earning creative category last year, with podcasters generating over $472 million from more than 6.7 million paid memberships.

“From independent shows to networks, podcasters are choosing Patreon because it’s a place where they can share their work directly with their audiences, reach new fans, deepen connections with existing members, manage their businesses, and ultimately earn more money – all under one roof,” Patreon wrote in a blog post.

More Podcast Partnerships Ahead

Patreon has indicated plans to onboard additional podcasting partners in the future, reinforcing its commitment to becoming a leading platform for premium audio content.
