Note to producers, please, please, please, only use these sharing sites to gain an audience, make a little cash, and direct users to your own sites.
The real money comes from being able to prove that you have an audience that will follow you wherever you go. That means Podcasting and creating a strong URL for your property. With that audience and URL you’ll be able to partner with whomever will give you the most cash for your skills.
By being dependent on any one site, you’re just waiting for them to change the rules, cut you out, and move on.
Sites need good content. Make good content. But also protect your brand, and get better deals from places that recognize the value you bring to the table as someone who knows how to get attention in a crowded market.
