Being an independent or freelance podcaster is thrilling—you get full creative control and the chance to build something uniquely yours. But it’s also daunting. Without a team or network, you're juggling everything: content creation, marketing, business strategy, and finances. How do you stay afloat financially, creatively, and professionally while doing it all on your own? Many podcasters face these challenges: building audience, monetizing effectively, staying inspired, avoiding burnout, and growing their brand. There’s no single formula, but others have found success through tools like Patreon, partnerships, collectives, or simply refining their workflows and goals. This session explores how solo podcasters have made it work—sharing practical strategies, personal lessons, and ways to build a sustainable creative life.
