Build a Mini-Media Empire with Podcasts!
Podcasting is not new, but it’s used a lot. For good reason, too. It’s a fun way to get your voice (and message heard).
Put it everywhere; give it to visitors, post it on your site and send it out to your email list, etc. Freebies that area given to only listeners is something that helps create excitement and gets people to listen. Be sure to advertise that fact!
Podcasting for Profits…It’s easier than you think!
Podcasting is not new, but it’s used a lot. For good reason, too. It’s a fun way to get your voice (and message heard).
To start, be sure to provide interesting content. Be upbeat or at least keep it on an up-level. If you’re not a speaker or have difficulty with speaking, get someone to do it for you. Don’t drone on and on. Get a fun topic to generate more enthusiasm for you and your listeners.
Ideas are easy to get from the web or surveys. You can get input from your customers and find out what they most want to know. Consider offering “special topic” broadcasts for a small fee. These would be more educational and offer solid training.
Get your audience excited about your next topic by using teasers in each podcast. Give them an idea of what’s up in your next podcast and when it will be so they can mark their calendars.
Call-in shows (like radio) are popular and your listeners get involved. Real-time question and answer sessions will help people get involved. This will help get your listeners to listen and be involved.
Just like a radio or TV station has call letters identifying their station, so should you. You don’t have to use esoteric letters, but a name. Use something catchy and appropriate. Advertise it on your podcast to get people familiar with it.

It may sound complicated, but it really is easy. There are free tools to get started. Or you can start by paying a low membership fee to a company that will let you call in and use their tools to do a podcast. It’s a simple as calling a number, recording a message and posting it to the web.
This method is going to make you appear more real and more dimensional to your readers. If you can provide fun, interesting and upbeat podcasts that are informational, you will build a following, increase sales and take your business to another level!
