Get Paid to Speak
Do people say you like to run your mouth?
Maybe they say you sure do seem to like the sound of your own voice.
If so, you can definitely make a buck or two just by flapping your lips and producing sounds!
Seriously though, there are some great ways to make money just by using the power of your voice.
Here are just a few:
- Start a podcast
Is there a topic you love to talk about? Odds are, you are not alone. Getting started with a podcast is easy, but does require some basic setup, lots of content ideas, and time.
As long as you stick with it and produce shows at least once a week, you should see your audience grow over time.
Some podcast websites allow you to include ads and earn revenue from your growing audience plus help with distribution. Learn more about Anchor.fm
- Become a narrator for an audio book
This is a great way to read books and get paid at the same time.
At the time of writing, Audible has over 500,000 audiobooks and audio shows.
Reading books for Audible requires you to register with ACX.com.
Once you have narrated or published an audio book, you can join their Bounty Referral Program and earn up to $75 each time a new Audible listener becomes a member through one of your customized links. Learn more about ACX.
