$$$ From Other People’s Podcasts?

Wendi McGowan-Ellis talks on this podcast about her own podcast production and co-hosting service.

She says at the 50-minute mark…

A lot of people who start their podcast don’t know that they need a written transcript in support of their audio episodes for ADA compliance… lawyers are looking for people who are doing audio-only and not supporting that with text… they’re like ambulance chasers… you’re violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by not providing a text transcript to go with your audio episodes.

Assuming that’s true, and given that there are over 1 million active podcasts, here’s an idea: you could reach out to active podcasts that DON’T have transcripts for their episodes, tell them about ADA compliance and ambulance-chasing lawyers, and link them to transcription services like RevGoTranscript or Fiverr.

All of those platforms have affiliate programs, so your links can be affiliate links and you would earn a commission for every sale you refer 🤑

(Just be sure to disclose to the podcasters that you’re an affiliate for those services.)
