In the last year, <\/span>The MJCast<\/span><\/i> has grown exponentially, and for the first time, turned a profit in 2020. Jamon and Elise credit their success to a <\/span>\u201cthree-pronged approach for obtaining revenue.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Jamon explains:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, you lock in a few major sponsors. Next, create a merch store selling your podcast swag. Finally, generate a revenue stream with YouTube.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

By following this very approach, Jamon and Elise have even been able to purchase better equipment to ensure the best quality podcast and donate money to various charities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with the success comes the difficulties though, right? The pair has faced their share of obstacles.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

First, Jamon explained how <\/span>The MJCast<\/span><\/i> is very careful about what they post and how they go about making any kind of profit due to the rules and regulations set by the Jackson Estate. They only use artistic representations of Michael Jackson and pay close attention to the pictures and videos they use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Second, <\/span>\u201cWe had a rough time with the evolution of the show due to the release of<\/span><\/i> Leaving Neverland, <\/span>a controversial unauthorized documentary about Michael,\u201d <\/span><\/i>Elise says.<\/span> \u201cBut we took it as an opportunity to make sure we are a hub for the community to gather and get proper information. Ironically, with our connections, we were able to interview an expert source who had pre-screened the documentary prior to it being released to the public.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Finally, social media plays a huge role in the overall success of <\/span>The MJCast<\/span><\/i>, which brings about the trolling challenge. The team monitors it with a common goal of turning the tables by providing a place for learning rather than controversy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The MJCast<\/span><\/i> continues to stay true to their beliefs and values while working toward their goal of sharing Michael\u2019s legacy so that it lives on, while remaining<\/span> \u201ca wonderful, warm space to meet other Michael fans,\u201d <\/span><\/i>says Elise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They are very proud of being a space where the community can go to get the facts and truth about Michael\u2019s legacy. <\/span>\u201cWe are not capitalizing on his legacy,\u201d <\/span><\/i>Jamon expresses. <\/span>\u201cWe are analyzing his art and furthering his reach in the community.\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The co-hosts value the followers they have, the connections they\u2019ve made, and the support they\u2019ve received.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As Jamon and Elise strive to keep Michael\u2019s legacy alive, <\/span>The MJCast<\/span><\/i> podcast grows at an impressive rate. This is the place where MJ fans can gather to get accurate, honest, and up-to-date information about the King of Pop.<\/span><\/p>\n
