Interested in getting behind a microphone? I can help save you months of learning and trial & error by working with you one-on-one to solve a specific problem or goal. Working with a consultant with the right experience means you’re working smarter; you’re learning what needs to be learned and not wasting money, time or energy.
“Daniel is a great podcasting consultant. We have worked together and have been on each other’s podcasts and he always has new information to share.” ~ Deborah Carney, via LinkedIn
The area of my expertise is in audio podcasting and internet broadcasting. I have produced and hosted over 185 episodes since 2008 and have expanded my catalog to four weekly productions. I have a solid understanding of what makes you sound great on a show and what you need to do it. So, the question then, has to be…
What can I help you with?
- Software installations and walkthroughs
- Brainstorming ideas for shows
- Helping you find your voice
- Getting your site ready to handle a new show
- Getting your show into the iTunes podcast directory
- Pre-production and getting ready to record
- Recording each show perfectly
- Post-production, editing and adding music, stingers and advertisements
- Hardware selection, purchase and configuration
“I was introduced to Daniel via Twitter and within a few minutes of contact, he was making time on his schedule to find out how he could help me. I hired him to help me get my Podcast up and running and the hour we spent together was extremely helpful. He was very thorough and answered all of my questions in a way I could easily understand.
I will be using Daniel’s services again soon and I would recommend him to anyone looking for help with Podcasting.”

How does podcast consulting work?
The process is quite simple, really. It starts with an email.
- Send an email to daniel@qaqn.com, giving me as much information about what you need help with as you can. I will be in touch as soon as possible with my rate and to let you know if I believe I can help you. Be sure to include links to your site(s) and podcast(s) if you’ve got some. If you’ve got something that I can’t help with, I will refer you to a trusted source who can.
- Send payment for the consulting session via PayPal, using the address daniel@qaqn.com.
- On the day and time of our appointment, we will connect on Skype (with screen sharing) or by phone. Shortly after the consulting call, usually within a day, I will provide you with a recording of the call.
Consulting sessions take place at 11am and 2pm Eastern, one hour each, on business days, excluding Thursdays. When we decide to work together, you’ll have access to my calendar and can choose a day and time that work best for you.
If you decide at any point that a full hour of consulting isn’t in the cards but you have a general question that others can benefit from, email it to me and I’ll eventually include it on the Be a Better Podcaster show. I love getting questions for that show!

On-site podcast consulting
On-site consultation is available for a more hands-on podcast coaching opportunity. Additional fees may apply. Please request an on-site consulting quote as these fees will vary by location.
Will you be attending Affiliate Summit?
Affiliate Summit West 2012 is coming up in January, and I’ll be in attendance. Will you? If so, how would you like to schedule a one-on-one, in-person consult? Times are limited, so check out the available hours below and sign up now.
Normally, I have an additional fee for in-person consults to cover travel expenses – whether it’s gas money or a plane ride, there’s expenses and a fee to cover them. But you know… since I’m going to be at Affiliate Summit anyway… in-person consultations at Affiliate Summit will be priced at the same rate that I charge for my online consults!
AND!
How would you like to bring a friend? I will sit down, one-on-one-two for the very same price. Split the cost with a friend or colleague! (Two’s the limit, folks – I want people to get the most out of the time and trying to teach a class isn’t the best way to do that).
Availability will be posted in November, but if you claim your spot today you will ensure that you have first pick of times once they’re open. No payment is required at this time, but get your name on the list while you can!
“Daniel is an outstanding podcaster. He has quickly become the ‘go to’ guy in the industry. He can send you down the right path to success, or take a look at why you’re stuck and help you break free to realize your podcasting dreams.”
~ Michael Buechele, Adalytical, via LinkedIn
Oh yeah, one more thing…. how about FREE podcast consulting?
I’ve got two ways you can earn some free one-on-one consulting time with me.
The monthly Be a Better Podcaster drawing
On the first of each month, I make a list of everyone who called into Be a Better Podcaster with a question or comment and I pull a name at random to win a free one-hour consult with me. Here are the rules:
- Callers must include their name and either an email address or a Twitter name in the voicemail. Email addresses will be masked when the voicemail is played on the Be a Better Podcaster show.
- There must be a minimum of five entrants for the drawing to happen, so tell your friends.
- Winners must schedule and complete their free consultation during that same month.
For example: episodes produced in March. On April 1st, I will draw a name from among those who contributed to the show during March, and that winner will get a free hour of consulting with me during the month of April.
Make sense?
The newsletter subscriber drawing
Once the newsletter reaches 100 subscribers, I will open another monthly drawing for free consultation time. Subscribe today!
