What this walkthrough gets you

You will take a podcaster's long episodes, find the few moments that will travel, turn them into clips people stop scrolling for, and share them everywhere, on a monthly retainer. The real skill is taste, not tech, so "I'm not technical" is no barrier here. It often costs under $50 to begin. The walkthrough gets you your first paying client in weeks through free sample clips, then $1,500 to $3,000 per client every month, with a solo ceiling of $8,000 to $15,000 a month by months four to six.
