Now anyone can earn from Apple Podcasts video

Jim Ballas, the President of Measurement at Magellan AI, was the special guest on PodBiz this week, sharing insights into the rapidly evolving podcasting landscape. His conversation on the podcast that delves into the money in podcasting came just as RSS.com, a leading podcast hosting company, made a groundbreaking announcement: the addition of HLS video podcasting for Apple Podcasts. What this means is that creators can now earn revenue from their video podcasts, without needing a massive audience or complex setup.

For years, video content creators have struggled to monetize their work on Apple Podcasts. The platform's strict guidelines and limited options made it challenging for creators to turn their passion into a sustainable income. However, with RSS.com's new feature, the landscape has changed. Creators can now upload video podcasts and earn 70% of the revenue generated from video ads. The absence of an audience threshold means that even relatively small creators can benefit from this new opportunity.

The shift towards video podcasting is not new, but it's gaining momentum. With the proliferation of smartphones and high-quality cameras, creators have more tools at their disposal than ever before. The ability to produce engaging video content, coupled with the convenience of Apple Podcasts, has made video podcasting an attractive option for creators. RSS.com's new feature is a significant step forward, making it easier for creators to produce and monetize their video content.

The implications of this development are far-reaching. For creators, it means the potential to earn a living from their passion, without relying on a massive audience or complex setup. For Apple Podcasts, it's an opportunity to expand its offerings and attract more creators to the platform. As the podcasting landscape continues to evolve, it's clear that video will play a significant role in shaping the future of the industry.

As the podcasting industry continues to grow, it will be interesting to see how RSS.com's new feature is adopted by creators. Will we see a surge in video podcasting, or will the challenges of producing high-quality video content hold creators back?## A Key Milestone
