ROTE 039: John Lee Dumas’ Seven Figure Podcasting Empire
Everyone is diving into podcasting right now with the expectations of getting rich and famous. However, only a small fraction of podcasts make any money… or even get listened to!
So what’s the difference between podcasters that are rich and famous and those who are delivering to an audience of just a few people? The answer is “hustle”!
No one gets to the big leagues by mistake and by slacking… and this applies even more so in the world of online business and podcasting when you are literally fighting against 100s of millions of other sites on a daily basis.
Podcasting is now all the rage right now and many people are pouring into this space because of the success seen by others. Podcasting isn’t just about creating content… it’s about creating a real way to provide value and build a legitimate brand and business in the process.
Why are we seeing so many online marketers and brands jump into the world of podcasting… simply because it works!
This is exactly what we are going to be talking about in the latest episode of the Rise of the Entrepreneur.
Rise of the Entrepreneur – Episode 39 with John Lee Dumas
John Lee Dumas is one of the top podcasters in the world and he’s currently making over six figures a month through the use of in-show advertisements and monetizing his audience through Podcaster’s Paradise and online courses.

After serving his time in the Army and traveling across the U.S. trying to find his next job, John then stumbled into the world of podcasting.
