>> 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.
Grab it now on Amazon!
>> 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.
Use this link to sign up for Fusebox and quickly and easily revamp your podcast website.
