Get your podcasting questions answered LIVE on Mondays at 2 pm (ET) at https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/live Podcasting questions answered in this Q&A: * Jake Jopling: What’s the fastest way to grow my listener base and downloads (550 total) after being seven episodes into my weekly podcast (started with three episodes and realeased one per week thereafter beginning one month ago). * Sean: Do you have any suggestions for guest management and how to keep consistent, time wise? * Brad Hargis How can you stay consistent when you have cohosts? * Jason Herterich: I bought the Lavalier BY-M1 microphone and am currently recording on my Android smartphone. I would like to record cell phone calls, but am unable to hear anything when my Lav mic is plugged in. I need a headphone splitter that can plug into my smartphone, I was wondering if you had any suggestions. * Mike Wilkerson: Was Intrigued to see/intake your recent "Don't Focus on your Numbers" episode. My question is: Every opportunity across multiple podcasts that we've been fortunate enough to monetize: Numbers, listenership and the regular "radio-style" detail have always been the first questions. Your suggestions on how to answer while at the same time segueing onto value commentary in a discussion? * Gary Reeman: I know you’re not a soundcloud fan - hence this question! My new podcast is hosted on both podbean AND soundcloud. iTunes, Stitcher etc all link to my podbean feed. However my website uses the soundcloud embedded player and offers 5 different options for subscriptions. I’m promoting both the website/soundcloud AND podbean/iTunes/player.fm/stitcher on social media. Pros and cons of this approach in terms of growing my audience? * Marisa Cali: So you're saying Podbean is the way to go when you're starting out? * Jeanette Jackson: Do the majority make money from podcasting, or is the intent just to share their thoughts about a subject they are passionate about? * Michael Delaney Should you have a show on libsyn and podbean? * Marisa Cali I'm on Squarespace and plan to have each podcast episode on my site, do you know what works with them? * Darryl: What’s the big deal with Spotify? Why is every podcaster now trying to get their show on Spotify? * Chabi Dhakal: What do you recommend between libsyn and SoundCloud? https://TheAudacitytoPodcast.com/ Everything you need to improve and grow your podcast after episode one! https://podcasterssociety.com/ See and share all your iTunes/Apple podcast reviews from all apps and countries automatically! https://MyPodcastReviews.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EQUIPMENT USED IN MY VIDEOS JK MicJ 044 lav mic: http://amzn.to/1wDQvER RØDE RØDELink Newsshooter wireless kit: http://amzn.to/2f5szx4 Electro Voice RE320: http://amzn.to/2uV8j58 Heil PL2T mic boom arm: http://amzn.to/1yPcvy6 Heil PRSM-B mic shock mount: http://amzn.to/15iMa2C Behringer X1832USB mixer: http://amzn.to/11RBjKW Behringer MDX4600 compressor/limiter/gate: http://amzn.to/2u0JW98 Aputure Amaren HR672 lighting kit: http://amzn.to/2f4jswG Zoom H4n recorder: http://amzn.to/2vf8f2K Canon Rebel DSLR: http://amzn.to/2uScHUf Logitech C920 webcam: http://amzn.to/1C7PjRt Sigma 30 mm f/1.4 Art lens: http://amzn.to/1zTfRRM Telestream Screenflow: http://j.mp/1HW09ua ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBSCRIBE to the weekly podcast at http://TheAudacitytoPodcast.com/ Video on iTunes: http://j.mp/17iqOhi Audio on iTunes: http://j.mp/PZ9ups Follow me on http://twitter.com/theDanielJLewis FEEDBACK Call (903) 231-2221 Email feedback@TheAudacitytoPodcast.com Send a voice message from https://TheAudacitytoPodcast ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Audacity to Podcast is the award-winning "how-to" podcast about podcasting, hosted by Daniel J.
