Can I monetize my iTunes Podcast?

The iTunes Podcasts included in Lightcast's Service Packages are always free Podcasts. Podcasts in general cannot be charged for per the terms of Apple, Inc. The iTunes Store only offers Podcasts that are free and publicly accessible.

Alternatively you can monetize your Podcast via Podcast services such as Podbean.

Another solution is to create preview tracks of your Podcasts and upload them in a separate VOD Channel in your Lightcast Media Cloud account which we will use as source Channel for your Podcast. The purpose of the preview track is to get viewers excited about your content and to inform them where they can listen to the full program.
