be given importance in podcasting.


“...my top recommendations right now are for a microphone.
Samsung Q2U. There are other microphones very similar to it like
the Audio Technica ATR, 2100 and USB and there's now the new ATR
2100 x USB, yeah, you're using the ATR 2100 USB, there's also the
Audio Technica AT 2005.”


Daniel gives emphasis on the significance of having a good mic
for podcasting and shared with us his top microphones that are
high-quality but affordable. These are very fit for startup
podcasters. He mentioned that everything doesn’t have to be
perfect at the very start of your podcasting. The important is
you have clear content and direction to where your podcast will
go. Buying cheap tools is good for a beginner and then,
eventually, as you go further, you can level up your materials.


“And then for a podcast media host, I now recommend, captivate an
advisor for that company as well…”


“Then, the next thing is you have to launch.”


According to Daniel, having an advisor can make podcasting
better. It serves as your gear in media hosting, stats, website,
etc. This would be very helpful for the technical part. He also
mentioned that launching in a way that you don’t need to prepare
first the produced  20-30 episodes. You can even start with
a trailer only. Then, plan out the next 20-30 episodes. You can
just list it. Again, you don’t need to record the first 20-30
episodes, you only need to list them down. What matters is you
know where you will be going. 


“The other thing is to really focus on optimizing that experience
for your audience in your podcast on the web.”


Next, to optimize the audience experience, Daniel taught us in
this episode how to use an A/B Testing wherein you will group
your audience into two and you will examine what part they are
interested the most on your podcast. In this way, you will know
your succeeding content and the flow of your program.


“So look for ways that you can breathe some new life into the
podcast. “


Lastly, this tip is for podcasters who are lost in track and are
out of ideas. It’s not really completely changing your format but
rather adding up some new things. He said that you can search for
new ideas in your podcast by joining events related to
podcasting. It could be a Comic-Con or Podcast Movement depending
on what you want to grow with.

podcasting and more of these essential tips can be discovered in
