https://podcastfasttrack.com/ One of the most common things you'll hear podcasters ask is "How can I get more people to download my show?"

https://podcastfasttrack.com/ Scott Voelker produces an Amazon FBA Podcast — and for many of you, that statement was total jibberish. That’s because Scott has discovered that driving deep into a niche topic enables him to attract a very niche and passionate audience. So, just so you have some context… The FBA part of what I said stands for “Fulfilled by Amazon,” it’s a way of selling products you...

PodcastFastTrack.com/contact   Every podcast success story is a bit different - because the person who has experienced it has walked a different path to get TO a place of success.

https://podcastfasttrack.com/ Have you noticed? iTunes has been having problems lately. It’s not JUST that it’s now supposed to be called “Apple Podcasts” - and we’re all strongly encouraged to make that change yesterday - even though Apple’s own systems still say “iTunes” in multiple places (even in some URLs). There’s are many more iTunes problems going on . This episode isn’t meant to be snarky...

https://podcastfasttrack.com/ Effective sound treatment doesn’t have to be pricey. You can do it simply for almost nothing if you already have your basic podcasting equipment with you (software, microphone, etc.). My family has started a new lifestyle - traveling full time - and until we get our RV I’ve had to make do with some pretty unusual and less-than-ideal recording conditions . So I’ve had...

https://podcastfasttrack.com/ For a VERY long time Android users have not had a native podcasting app - and Google Podcasts is trying to make that problem a thing of the past.   I just hope these first steps that I’m going to tell you about in this episode/video are something they follow up on diligently.

https://podcastfasttrack.com/ Every podcaster on the planet wants a bigger audience. Unquestioned. But most of us start out with a great idea for a podcast (at least we think so), grab a mic, plug it in, hit the record button, and we start talking.
