Making Money With Geospatial Content

Making Money With Geospatial Content

Author: MapScaping February 22, 2023 Duration: 38:50
It sounds like a clickbait title, right? And to be fair I am trying to capture your attention but this is not clickbait in the sense that the title makes a promise that the episode lives up to!  This is not a “get-rich-quick-scheme” its a story about someone like us who is earning money by using his geospatial skills to teach others. Konrad Hafen is a hydrologist with the USGS and runs two websites and a youtube channel, he is a geospatial content creator who makes money from ads and from selling online courses.     Websites https://geospatialschool.com/ https://opensourceoptions.com/ Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@opensourceoptions Each episode I publish has some sort of editorial intent, the intent of this episode is to show you a real-life example of someone like us who is using their geospatial knowledge if a different way.  Not because I think this is for everyone! But because I think the more examples we are exposed to of people doing something different the more options we might see in our own lives.  We don’t have to take advantage of these opportunities but there is some comfort in knowing that they are there. That we are not stuck.   If you listen to this episode and what to learn more about making money with geospatial content, Konrad and I will host a free webinar ( if we get enough interest! )  where we teach you the basics.

The MapScaping Podcast delves into the intricate world where geography meets data. This isn't about static paper maps, but the dynamic, digital systems that help us understand our planet. Each conversation focuses on the practical and the visionary within GIS, geospatial technology, remote sensing, and earth observation. You'll hear directly from the cartographers, data scientists, software developers, and analysts who are building the tools and interpreting the information that defines modern digital geography. The discussions explore how satellite imagery is used, how location intelligence solves complex problems, and where the technology is headed next. For professionals, students, or anyone fascinated by how we chart and comprehend our world, this podcast offers a grounded look at a field that is constantly redrawing its own boundaries. Tune in to The MapScaping Podcast for insights that are as much about the people and ideas shaping this space as they are about the technology itself. It's a consistent source for those who think spatially, providing depth and context that goes beyond the software interface. Listen to find out how the hidden structures of geospatial data influence everything from urban planning and environmental conservation to business logistics and everyday apps.
