I love ambient sound, but I’m particularly a fan of white noise. Turn on that static hush, crank up the volume, and I’ll be heading onward to dreamland in a matter of minutes, baby. But as much as I enjoy the radio frequency equivalent of “shhhhhh,” I never considered it to be a money-making endeavor. If anything, white noise is the opposite of progress, right? Like, how could that possibly be lucrative? Then I read about how some guy was able to quit his damn day job after his Spotify white noise podcast started generating over $18,000 a month.
According to Bloomberg, a former cybersecurity worker named Todd Moore and his five (five!) employees are making roughly $612.50 per day from ad revenue and subscriptions through Spotify’s podcast-hosting software, Anchor — which adds up to roughly $18,375 every 30 or so days.
