In this podcast episode, I had the pleasure of discussing the Apple Podcast ecosystem and its impact on show growth with Dan Misener, an expert in podcasting and a member of the Bumper podcast growth agency. During our conversation, Dan highlighted recent changes in how metadata is displayed and how Apple is using audio analysis to create automated transcriptions for keyword extraction and topic identification. As a podcaster, Dan stressed the importance of being an active user of multiple platforms to stay up-to-date with changes and respond accordingly to improve the visibility and discoverability of a show.

In this podcast episode, Luis Diaz, founder of Top 10 Podcast, recommends two dynamic microphones that are under $100 for podcasting. He explains the difference between condenser and dynamic microphones and emphasizes that the equipment he recommends is suitable for entrepreneurs, business owners, coaches, and consultants who want to create great content without spending a lot of money. Diaz describes the Audio-Technica ATR2100x and Samsung Q2U microphones, their features, and what comes with them. He also notes that the microphones come with a stand, cords, and a windscreen, and suggests using a boom arm and a separate stand to raise the microphone higher for better recording.

I remember 2016 I started with a $12 course on Udemy and taught myself from there. I remember feeling overwhelmed, and frustrated that there really wasn’t much on growing a podcast out there when I started. My first try at podcasting FAILED after 14 episodes… I took 2 months off to study what the best in the game were doing. Spent another month just planning my new approach then finally I relaunched my show and grew it from 0 to 19k downloads a month. From there I sold one on one coaching programs, info products, and physical products to my podcast audience.💰 After that I worked for 10 months for FREE for an influencer who had given up on his podcast. I took that show from 20k downloads a month to 110k PER MONTH in 10 months. From there I started helping other creators launch and grow their own shows… Since then my team and I have helped over thousands of podcasters, and launched over 170 podcasts for clients through our agency and consulting programs. I want to help YOU, whoever you are out there reading this, make money with your podcast and hopefully change your life and business for the better. 🚀 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📱 CONNECT WITH ME 📱 Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/luisryandiaz/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🔔Subscribe! 🔔 Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/@LuisRyanDiaz Contact ► luis@top10podcasts.com Client Results ► https://vimeo.com/810114494 The information on this YouTube Channel and the resources available are for educational and informational purposes only.​ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🔔My Podcast Equipment and Software I Use 🔔 NOTE: The links below are affiliate links!
