Amanda McLoughlin is the Founder and CEO of Multitude, a podcast collective based in New York City.
5 years ago, Amanda was working 9-to-5 for a finance company by day, and making a folklore podcast with her friend Julia Schifini on nights and weekends.
That podcast, Spirits, was monetized from Day one, and pretty soon Amanda and Julia were able to make podcasting their full-time job.
As Amanda and Julia's personal network of podcasters grew, they realized that they should all pool their resources together into a DIY podcast network. With that, the Multitude Podcast Collective was born.
This past December, Amanda was named by Forbes 30 Under 30 for her work monetizing podcasts and helping creators to grow, while still owning their work.
Today, she's going to teach you how she does it - and how you too can monetize your podcast right now.

>> THE HANDS-DOWN BEST USB MICROPHONE: SHURE MV
Want your podcast to sound as crisp and high-quality as mine does? Easy. Grab the brand-new Shure MV7.
This is the first-ever USB mic created by Shure. It's completely plug-and-play, out of the box, and is the only USB mic that gives you the same silky smooth sound as the Shure SM7B setup, at 1/3rd of the cost.
I literally cannot recommend this microphone enough. All of the convenience. Amazing price.
BY FAR the best bang for your buck.
>> THE BEST REMOTE INTERVIEW RECORDING SOFTWARE: SQUADCAST
Squadcast is by far the best remote recording platform in the game. I use Squadcast to record my interviews for all of my podcasts, because it's the easiest platform for me and my guests to use, and it has the best audio quality.
Within weeks, Squadcast will be introducing video recording too.
Want to give it a go? Use this link to sign up and you'll be able to try the platform for free for an entire interview!
>> THE BEST WEB PLAYER + TRANSCRIPTION EMBEDDER FOR YOUR WEBSITE: FUSEBOX
If you head over to growtheshow.com/episodes, you'll see that each episode features a nifty embedded web player AND an embedded transcript of the entire episode.
This is easily done with the Fusebox plugin, which works for all website providers (WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, and any other HTML Website!)
My favorite part? The transcript gets pasted in super easily, looks great, and the entire text of the episode counts for SEO.
