Podcast Strategy for Solopreneurs: Monetize Your Voice in 2026
The Podcast Opportunity (2026)
Podcasts are the fastest-growing audio format. 62% of US adults consume podcasts monthly (up from 48% in 2020). Most importantly: podcasts build deeper listener relationships than blogs or YouTube. A listener spends 35 minutes per week with you (vs. 3 minutes for blog articles).
3-Pillar Content Framework
Top podcasters use 3 content types: (1) Solo episodes where you teach something specific, (2) Guest interviews with experts in your niche, (3) Q&A episodes answering listener questions. This rotation prevents burnout and keeps audience engaged. For voice cloning for professional podcast production, explore our [Voice Cloning tools](/workbench/voices).
