Recently I listened to the Tim Verpoorten-produced episode of the Mac Roundtable podcast where he interviewed Paul Figgiani, Don McAllister, and Craig Syverson about podcasting.

Don mentioned an interesting project he’s working on called the Podcast Monetizer. The project seems to be designed to “enable new or existing independant podcasters create an automated membership-based infrastructure to allow them to monetise their podcasts.”

Very interesting subject material . . . and the English make the word “monetise” sound so fancy.

His tutorial package will include coverage of:

* Automatic Membership Subscription & Management
* Automatic Mailing List Integration
* Integration of PayPal and other Payment Gateways
* Shopping Cart Integration
* Website Customisation based on Membership
* Creation and Management of Muliple Secure RSS feeds
* Running coupon promotions
* Affiliate schemes
* Member Forums
* and much more…..

Check out his website to track his progress, I’m sure it will be of great value to podcasters.
