# Time for a Change: My Podcasting Journey
Written on
Chapter 1: The Realization
It dawned on me that I need to make some significant changes—starting with my podcast.

I began my podcast in 2020 and have been fairly consistent, aside from a nine-month hiatus, from which I managed to recover. Yet, I’ve come to realize that I’ve been going about podcasting all wrong for the past two years.
Networking is a skill I desperately need to improve, and honestly, it's quite overwhelming. Why am I only learning this now? I sometimes feel out of touch. What I really seek is a shortcut—if you have any tips or suggestions, I’d love to hear them!
Section 1.1: The Financial Realization
My primary motivation for writing this article is that I’ve learned people can actually earn a substantial income from podcasting.
I’ve been completely unaware of this until now; in two years of podcasting on Anchor, I’ve only made a paltry $17. Clearly, I've been missing the mark. While I believe I have a decent listener base, I’ve never focused on the analytics, so I’m in the dark about my performance.
Podcasting is my passion, especially when combined with tarot readings, which makes it incredibly enjoyable. Still, I can’t help but feel a tinge of envy towards those who earn a comfortable living from it.
Subsection 1.1.1: The Anchor Dilemma
Although I’ve heard that Anchor may not be the best platform to start with, I’m reluctant to start over, especially since I’ve already published over 100 episodes. Just kidding—I could consider a fresh start if needed, but I’m not exactly complaining.
Section 1.2: A New Approach
I’ve decided to offer some episodes on a subscription basis. I provide valuable insights and accurate readings, so it feels disheartening to lack supporters. Why am I being overlooked?
While some episodes will remain free, I plan to set up a subscription for the more comprehensive and detailed readings. I genuinely hope my audience will choose to support my efforts.
