Making money out of something
POPULARITY
MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
Remember the time when we would scour through magazines and newspaper articles to cut out photos and design ideas to paste on your scrapbooks for an art project? Well, we might not do that physically these days, but millions of us still do so digitally through a platform called Pinterest. And yes, that is the company that we’re going to talk to today. Founded in 2010, Pinterest is a visual search and discovery platform where people find inspiration, curate ideas and shop for products. Unlike traditional social media of its time, the San Francisco headquartered company began as a digital pinboard and was focused on helping users find the inspiration they need to lead the life they love. This positions Pinterest as a high-intent platform where users arrive not just to browse, but with a purpose. Users sit closer to the moment of decision making, where inspiration can turn into action and commerce. Today, Pinterest sees 1.5 billion pins saved every week, with over half of the users thinking of the platform as a place to shop. In May 2026, the firm reported FY2026 Q1 revenue of US$1.008 billion, up 18 per cent on a yearly basis. Pinterest also saw its tenth consecutive quarter of double-digit user growth with its base of global monthly active users reaching 631 million, an 11 per cent increase over the previous year. But what is the firm’s assessment of its latest performance as major retailers and advertisers in the US grapple with tariffs? Meanwhile, the firm continues to see revenue driven by the US and Canada even with a growing user base in Asia. So how far is Asia an undertapped market for the firm and what is the company doing to close the monetisation gap? Also – the firm is also doubling down on AI-driven platform improvements, but what does this mean in more granular terms, and how will AI help the firm optimise advertising reach and consequently its top and bottom lines? On Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Martin Machinandiarena, Managing Director, Channel Sales, Pinterest.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We walk through the hidden default settings, the terms of service implications, and the real risks if voice cloning and monetisation collide with low-effort AI remixes. • Gemini Omni style reimagining and why it feels like a point of no return for creator control • Shorts remixing settings, why they are on by default, and why there is no channel-wide default • The difference between classic remixing and AI that changes the underlying video • Real remix examples, AI labels, and why “AI slop” is the predictable outcome of a low barrier • Likeness, privacy, and the moment voice cloning makes the problem much worse • Terms of service clauses that expand what “modify” can mean as new features ship • Monetisation power dynamics, ads on content, and what creators can realistically push back on • Third-party AI training setting and what it suggests about content ownership online You should leave us some comments below.

In this episode of the PepTalks Podcast, we discover why monetisation is bigger than pricing, where value leaks out of a business unnoticed, and what getting it right does for margin, enterprise value and the multiple at exit. We are joined by Tim Ham, founder and CEO of Pearson Ham Group, a specialist pricing and monetisation consultancy and one of PepTalks' Advisory Members. Tim walks through the four steps to effective monetisation, why product-centric thinking holds companies back, and how AI is exposing business models that charge for time and effort rather than value. Drawing on twenty years in pricing across both B2C and B2B, Tim makes the case that most companies leave far more on the table than they realise. Could yours be one of them?

This episode is a masterclass in driving digital revenue through structured and sophisticated commercialization methods, purpose-led campaigns, and behavioural-psychology informed techniques. Liz Wynn is the Chief Supporter Officer at the Guardian Media Group. Having had a varied career in telecoms and broadcast media - working at the likes of Orange, EE, and Sky, she joined the Guardian in 2023 to take full responsibility for digital reader revenue - ie anything that comes from subscriptions or donation. Since that point, the Guardian's efforts to drive revenue through its digital consumers have achieved huge success. As of the last financial year, 44% of the media group's total revenue came from digital readers. Of that figure of £125 million, 60% has been driven from outside its home territory of the UK. Liz was a speaker at the private Leaders Meet Innovation event in March, where her presentation on 'the power of direct connection in audience monetisation' won rave reviews with assembled c-suite audience from across sport. There are many transferable lessons for the sports industry.

In this PocketGamer.biz episode, hosts Peggy Anne Salz and Craig Chapple sit down with Francesca ReDavid, VP of Product Growth at Mistplay, and Aaron Thandi, Chief Commercial Officer, to examine how rewarded is evolving in what many are calling the monetisation-first era.For years, rewarded functioned primarily as a UA lever, driving installs and early engagement at scale. But growth dynamics have shifted. Installs have plateaued. Revenue is concentrating deeper in the player journey. Studios are now under pressure to increase lifetime value, not just acquisition volume.That shift forces a rethink.Mistplay is preparing to launch a new feature called Playtime Events, designed to combine time-based rewards with contextual in-game milestones. The goal is structural: align rewarded mechanics more closely with how games actually drive engagement and monetisation.Rather than rewarding time alone, this approach ties incentives to meaningful progression points inside the game experience.The testing that led to this shift is significant.In this episode, you'll hear:Why rewarded can no longer operate as a simple traffic channelHow hybrid playtime-plus-task testing drove a 30% lift in playtime and a 20% increase in D30 ROASWhy RPG and strategy titles exposed the limits of generic reward structuresHow contextual milestones can reinforce progression loops rather than distract from themWhat UA, AdMon and Product teams must rethink as monetisation becomes the growth engineAs Francesca explains, rewarded increasingly needs to function as a companion to gameplay — embedded in progression, not layered on top of it.For studios navigating deeper engagement cycles in 2026, this episode explores why the next phase of rewarded will be defined less by installs and more by alignment with monetisation mechanics.Chapters00:00 Driving High Performance and Quality Experience01:34 The Monetization-First Era04:01 Rewarding High-Quality Users05:56 Defining Rewarded07:50 The History of Mistplay in Rewarded11:34 Rewarded No Longer a Source of Cheap Traffic15:12 Time Spent as a Key Indicator29:39 Playtime and In-Game Events33:38 Playtime Plus Task Mechanics48:02 Rewarded's Future: Personalization and ML** Let's Connect **

Financial innovation in the GCC is often framed around payments, licenses, and launch timelines.But the harder work happens long before a product goes live.In this special Qatar Development Bank series of Couchonomics with Arjun, Arjun sits down in Doha with Mohammed Suleiman, Co-Founder and CEO of Karty, to unpack what it really takes to build a regulated fintech company from the ground up in Qatar.Karty is not trying to out-bank banks or outscale telco wallets. Instead, it is being designed as a financial management layer that sits between spending and understanding money. A digital wallet built around insights, behaviour, and literacy rather than just transactions.Mohammed explains why Qatar's wallet landscape still leaves a gap for mass-affluent users, how Karty is approaching savings and financial awareness as a bundled experience, and why monetisation in fintech only works when usage comes first.A grounded discussion on fintech realism, ecosystem maturity, and why building the right foundations matters more than rushing to market.

Nick and Ash won't let the end of the Premier League stop the arguing, so we're turning it into something useful. Tonight they draft two 11-a-side squads that will face off on 7 June at Barnet FC to raise money for Street Child United. YOU CAN STILL SIGN UP TO THE DRAFT! https://forms.gle/EBEH1oLGtXCc5hL1A What's happening tonight? Snake-style draft, live. Once a player's name is called, they're locked in. The pool: Some Titan FPL creators, a couple of viewers who claim they're “decent on the wing,” and a couple of ringers who can actually play. Your chat-spam is fair game. Roast their picks, pitch your own, maybe even sway a choice. Why it matters - Every donation goes straight to Street Child United, helping kids living on the streets get safety, education, and a shot at a better life. We're aiming high, so if you enjoy any part of this circus, drop a few quid.

When most people talk about creating content, they focus on equipment, expertise, or having something groundbreaking to say. But today's guest demolishes those excuses. Jun Yuh reveals how he built an audience of 8 million followers while studying biomedical engineering—not by creating perfect content, but by simply showing up every day. From filming quick videos during lunch breaks to posting consistently for 5 years straight without missing a day, Jun shows that consistency trumps perfection. We explore his "100 video rule" that turns experimentation into strategy, why most beginners focus on the wrong metrics, and how understanding your audience matters more than production quality.

Ash and Kane talk about two successful ways you can monetise your podcast pre-launch and at launch, either via sponsorship or launching with an offer. Make sure to check out episodes focused on the stages of launching a podcast for a more in-depth look at how to create an offer: https://omny.fm/shows/the-podcaster-s-podcast/how-to-launch-a-number-1-podcast-part-1 https://omny.fm/shows/the-podcaster-s-podcast/046-how-to-launch-a-number-1-podcast-part-2 KEY TAKEAWAYS It is more than possible to get good sponsorship deals before you launch your podcast. There are various business models out there that use a similar approach, such as festivals and start-ups. Approach pitching to sponsors like a partnership, show them what you can offer to them and what they will be getting out of working with you. Podcasting advertising gives the highest return on spend -vs- any other type of advertising, more than TV, social media, and YouTube. If you have a course, mastermind, mentoring or anything information based, this works great to give as a launch offer. Even if you don't have any of these things you can create a course or mentorship specifically as a subscribing bonus or prize.

Ash and Kane combat some of the biggest challenges podcasters face in this episode. They talk about how to manage your time as a podcaster, monetisation, how to get guests, how to eliminate common tech problems and how to ensure you have niched your podcast down effectively. KEY TAKEAWAYS Create a bank of content, so if you do find yourself with less time you can still put out episodes. You can use AI to give you content ideas or you can use your audience by asking what they would like to hear. Not having enough of a niche. Think about your strategy or/and your demographic and niche down as much as possible. A spreadsheet is a good way to organise researching and contacting guests, you can keep track of when and how you reached out to them and all info needed and continue to use the same sheet when a guest is on your show. Recording in a studio can make the whole process more enjoyable for you as a host but also eliminates tech problems.

Marketing offers isn't about selling FEATURES, they're about OUTCOMES.If you're giving people more and more of your time and more and more resources and they're STILL not buying, it's because they don't understand what they're buying FOR.Information isn't inherently valuable, it's what you do with it that counts - that's where the marketing messaging comes in.That's your OUTCOME - the return on investment for all that studying and effort from the student.No-one wants more work, they want more RESULTS. Tangible, measurable results.Results that are going to change something for them.Now I know you may be hesitant to commit to specific results but those are based on your student doing all the work and following your advice and guidance to the letter.Not someone who doesn't do the work!And if you can't guarantee results for someone who does everything right, well, you need to work on getting your method nailed down so it works better :)Use this offer template to quickly produce offers that people really want and test them out in stories and posts to go from zero to high ticket FAST.-------Thanks for listening!

Try Riverside free now: https://creators.riverside.fm/PodcastersPodcast & Use code: Podcast15 for an exclusive 15% off. Ash and Kane discuss creative and unconventional ways to monetise your podcast beyond traditional approaches such as sponsorships and affiliates. From using content for investment opportunities to offering exclusive access to back catalogues they outline six innovative strategies they have seen from other successful podcasters. KEY TAKEAWAYS Some podcasters, like Alex Hormozi, use their content to build trust and expertise, enabling them to invest in businesses at favourable terms or acquire equity through consulting. Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast monetises by releasing only a few episodes per year and putting older episodes behind a Patreon paywall, generating over $40,000 monthly. The Lore podcast successfully expanded its intellectual property into books and TV shows, earning its creator an estimated $6 million annually from licensing deals. Some airlines license podcast episodes for in-flight entertainment, providing an additional revenue stream for creators like Steven Bartlett. The Detour podcast offers guided audio tours of cities, combining storytelling with real-world exploration for a unique listener experience. Being a podcast guest can be a monetisation strategy, allowing individuals to reach new audiences and promote their products or services without hosting their own show. Some podcasters charge guests to appear on their shows, particularly in niche markets or for locally focused content. The "Hey Mr. Jim" podcast created a branded physical product – a child-friendly radio that plays only their content, selling for £97 plus shipping. BEST MOMENTS "Dan goes to like, the extreme and he'll do, Three or four episodes a year. They're all about historic event, but they're like PHD level deep dive of one very specific historical event." "So the premise of this podcast is very similar to when you go to a gallery or museum. You put the headphones on and there's a guided tour." "Daniel Priestly does this really well. He guests on all sorts of podcasts and it's increased downloads of his software company score app massively." "Essentially, the way he monetised was marketing agencies or companies that wanted to sell to marketing agencies, basically anything in that ecosystem, they would pay to come on and he would ask them questions." "Kids all over the world wanted their characters to be in the stories and they wanted specific stories for them or they wanted to be in the stories. So because the parents just want their kids to go to bed and get what they want, you paid to join his Patreon." "You could be that trend you have like the opposite... for every like massive veganism group. You've got like the carnivores, right?"
