Top Three Takeaways from VidSummit 2024

This past week, Dallas played host to one of the most anticipated creator conferences of the year: VidSummit 2024. A record-breaking 3,500 attendees descended on the Irving Convention Center from September 3-5, making this year’s event the biggest in VidSummit history. 

Since its founding in 2014, VidSummit has grown into the go-to conference for creators, marketers, and brands looking to dive deep into the creator economy. This wasn’t a fan meet-and-greet—VidSummit 2024 was where the top 1% of influencers came together to share the real secrets behind audience growth, brand building, and making millions from their content.

The action kicked off on Tuesday night with a high-energy happy hour. Thousands of attendees gathered around the convention center to mix, mingle and share in their excitement. It was the perfect way to set the tone for a jam-packed few days filled with expert keynotes, multi-creator panels, and hands-on workshops. The aspirational vibe was palpable–everyone was there to learn how to think big and scale their creator businesses to new heights. Read More

Shure announced the MV6 USB-C desktop microphone and while it is positioning it as a “gaming” and streaming device, the low price, plug-and-play ease of use, and feature-rich design very likely make it a very good choice for most people who need a good quality microphone at their desk.

While it follows the design philosophy of the MV7+ (which borrows a lot from the SM7db), Shure’s MV6 is an even simpler system. That means it’s easier to use but it also comes in as one of Shure’s least expensive desktop options at $149. It’s hard to beat that price, especially when it’s meant to compromise as little as possible on sound quality compared to its more expensive siblings. Read More

Starting a podcast doesn’t require fancy gear or a big team—what really matters is delivering killer content and connecting with your audience. Too many people get caught up thinking they need a high end production to succeed, but look at shows like Joe Rogan or Matt and Shane—it’s the conversations, not the cameras, that drive the success. Yeah, quality audio is key, but the rest? It’s secondary. Watch Now

The 2024 PodMatch Podcasting Industry Report exposes the truth about the industry: most podcasts fail because creators can’t stay consistent. Here’s the thing—only 10% of independent shows are "Actively Established," producing over 100 episodes, yet they dominate 95% of the listenership.

The podcast space is far from saturated, so the opportunity is there for the taking. PodMatch is the tool to leverage, connecting hosts and guests to make that journey easier. Read More
