If you’re planning on podcasting, here are a few tips to help you create a high quality podcasts. They do not cost anything and they are easy to implement so they should be added to your podcast in order to help you create a quality product that people will want to subscribe to.

•Have a script but don’t read from it. Listeners can tell both ways: if you are just flying from the seat of your pants, or… all… you… do… is… speak… like… this… all… the… way… through… your… podcast. Both ways can be annoying.

•Put a little bit of music or a related sound at the beginning and end of your podcast. Like parentheses, these just give the listener with audible cues that your podcast is starting and finishing.

•Host a podcast, rather than simply letting it be a sounding board of one person renting on and on. The differences in voices will make for a more enjoyable experience for your listener.

•Give headlines at the beginning of your podcast. Tell listeners to expect to hear “these 3 things: Number one, number two, number three.” That way, they can follow along more easily.

•Add value! Podcasts can be a good way to make money, which we will talk about in detail later, but people will only be drawn to them if they actually add value to their lives. Don’t use your podcast as a vehicle to only move product or you will find you only need to make one podcast because no one will listen to any more.

•Remember that podcasting is an audio format. There are many podcasts out there today that are simply recordings of seminars or trade shows or product unveilings that require in order to succeed.

•Learn to speak clearly. Either hire a professional to help you or join a group like Toastmasters whose purpose is to help you speak more clearly. There are too many podcasts today whose speakers have not tried to improve their ability to be understood, and these podcast will not be around for very much longer.

•Be excited about your topic!

Whether you are new to podcasting or a veteran this list will help improve your listener’s experience.

Niche markets

The secret to successful podcasting, and to the future success of the industry lies in podcasting’s ability to service a niche market. Most people can find general information readily available quickly.

What people want is in-depth information, instruction, and entertainment specific to their area of interest. It is easy for them to find a web site that will post all the baseball scores in their favorite division. What they might be looking for however, is information, instruction, and entertainment related to their baseball team, which might not be readily available at the click of a mouse.

People who want to find out more about the industry, do not want to scour the Internet for a couple hours each day looking for analysis and information and top experts. Podcasting brings all of that to them.

The web is being populated by thousands of podcasts. If you want a podcast featuring radio drama you can find one. The same is true for any type of music you want, comedy, poetry and more.

Businesses are developing podcasts as a means of marketing their brand or product.

A business podcast could be developed based on an interview with the manufacturer of a featured product, or it could be with the website owner on the value and difference customers can expect from their online business.

You don’t have to immediately think of an infomercial when you think podcast either. The truth is a podcast should be something the visitor will feel is worthwhile for them to listen in on. The podcast can, and should, draw attention to features of your website and tools that are helpful to them. This can be knowledge based articles that compliment the podcast material or simply a products page that provide detailed descriptions of the item or items you discussed in the podcast.

The site visitor has control over when they listen and whether they visit so don’t beg. You should simply provide honest information and let the visitors decide for themselves if the product is worth further review.

The reason it is important to allow the visitor to make up their own mind is that when businesses try a hard press sales tactic they often find visitors will simply hit the back tab and move along. As hard as it may be, you have to learn to trust your visitors and their ability to make informed decisions.

A podcast is simply a personal and entertaining way to present data to your potential customers. It can be added to your arsenal of tools that can be used in marketing your site and your products.

I listened to a comedy podcast recently and the marketing portion of the website was for comedy script as well as a portion of the site that sold a variety of comedy CD’s from several featured comedians. Since I enjoyed some of the comedy it gave me the opportunity to make a purchase that would bring some of that comedy home.

Home software makes it possible for even a novice to develop a podcast that can meet marketing objectives in a way that has value to the customer.

Take some time to visit sites with podcasts to see what they do and how they do it. You will gain insight into what works and what doesn’t work in a marketing podcast.

As podcasting continues to grow, the competition for subscribers/listeners will become increasingly intense. Charging listeners for your podcast will not be the true way to podcasting profits. Those who have it in mind to turn podcasting from a hobby into a career must make every effort to stand out clearly above the crowd. The most successful podcasters will be those who set the benchmarks for professionalism, quality, and credibility.

The ability for a podcast to reach thousands, or tens of thousands, of listeners once, twice, or more per week, translates into big advertising dollars. It is those podcasters, who succeed in attracting those listeners, who will be the first to reap the profits from podcasting. The challenge from that point is keeping those listeners and turning them into long-term subscribers.

One common mistake, in thought, that people tend to gravitate to is that charging for a podcast will lead to profits. In fact, it is just the opposite that will eventually lead to the most successful podcasts. Keeping your podcast free will draw you more listeners, and by drawing more listeners you will attract more sponsors. Sponsorship will be essential to podcasters seeking to make large profits from their podcasting shows.

Not only is the podcast an advertising medium for sponsors, but the podcast can be an easy way to redirect listeners back to their website. Utilizing the popularity of a podcast to send traffic back to it’s website, will bring in additional revenues through product sales, affiliate sales, or PPC (Pay-per-Click) advertising, such as Google AdSense. A well put together and attractive website, along with a moderate flow of traffic, will bring in a healthy flow of additional revenues.

Podcasters who reach the finish line first will earn a majority of the rewards. Profitable podcasting will not be about reaching the entire globe, but it will be about reaching a sizeable portion of your niche audience. Niche audiences are more valuable than a general audience, and are a virtual gold mine to advertisers. The niche audience means that there will not be just a handful of winners in the race for profitable podcasting, but there may very well be hundreds of financially successful podcasters.

Podcasts have become audio and video versions of blogging. They are delivered by all manner of amateurs and professional organizations (usually news services) and are delivered through a multiplicity of channels. Podcasts are audio or video “bites” that address a particular topic or provide a small segment of entertainment or information.

YouTube and MySpace are loaded with millions of podcasts. Outside the adolescent networking space, there are scores of podcast feeds that put out new “bites” on a regular basis. If you are interested in exploring this new wrinkle in the broadband universe, there are a couple of tools you’ll need to make it all work and several tools to help you find podcast feeds that might interest you.

The principal tool for subscribing to a podcast feed is a podcast or news aggregator. There are dozens of them; many are freeware. Generally a “newsfeed” is provided in either RSS or Atom format; the podcasts that are syndicated are usually uploaded to a web server for delivery. Any web server will do, and there are many services that are dedicated to hosting podcasts exclusively. An RSS or Atom feed provides a URL for subscription, and new content is downloaded whenever the aggregator reads the feed and finds it has been updated.

This is how new content from the feed is delivered to your computer automatically, or at least at the intervals your aggregator is set to check the feed. An aggregator will automatically deliver a podcast from a subscription feed that you have signed up for - generally it will be saved to your local machine and play in the default media player on your PC.

You can find a list of aggregators and where to find them at: www.podcastingnews.com/topics/Podcast_Software.html. Once you’ve got an aggregator in place, you can go in search of podcast services that might interest you on a regular basis. Like many computer subscription services, you might find yourself dumping a podcast on a particular day because the topic doesn’t interest you or you don’t have time. But the idea is to find a collection of regular podcast feeds that provide information on topics that interest you and to absorb that information in audio or video format.

Once you have located a website offering a podcast service, you’ll generally find a button that will make you a subscriber. Click it, and you’ll find regular downloads appearing in your aggregator, generally found on your desktop by its icon or by an RSS orange button. You can organize your podcasts into folders and either view or listen to them at will. If you are go on a subscription binge and then neglect the daily aggregate of material that’s being automatically downloaded, you’ll be piling up megabytes in a hurry if many of those podcasts are of the video variety.

As with websites, podcast directories began appearing the moment podcasts took hold as a mainstream Internet communications device. One of the oldest, largest and best organized podcast directories can be found at www.ipodder.org/. The site breaks out podcast feeds by category and provides folders for you to browse. Ipodder is a commercial product - an aggregator - but its website can be highly informative. If you want to review the A-to-Z podcast material from the site, you can find it in an online article at www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1817856,00.asp.

Podcast Alley has a directory that provides good detail on each podcast it lists. It also provides a section on podcast software and some recent high profile podcasts for a casual click. Visit the site at podcastalley.com/. Other directories include www.podcast.net/ and, of course, the dynamic duo: www.google.com/Top/Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Podcasts/Directories/; and podcasts.yahoo.com/.

Are you looking to earn money from your podcasting hobby? Do you own your own domain? Does your podcast have a website that you control? Are you directing traffic back to your site from your podcast’s RSS feed? Do you know who your listeners are?

The ability to earn a steady stream of income from your podcast is a potential possibility for many podcasters. Most podcasters have very few costs associated with production, and all revenues earned will be mostly profits. Let’s review some ideas on how to exercise your podcast’s financial possibilities.

Incremental income can be earned from your podcast’s website using advertising programs such as Google AdSense, or ClickBank. Both of the preceding advertising programs are a Pay-Per-Click (PPC) style of advertisements. When your visitors click on an ad, you get paid. PPC advertisement is fine and dandy, and can generate you hundreds of dollars per month if you are successful, but there are also many affiliate programs that pay you commission on sales and leads generated from your website. These programs can be very successful for a podcaster who receives a decent amount of traffic from your website, as you can pick and choose what you would like to advertise on your website. How well do you know your listeners? Knowing your listeners will allow you to know what they will most likely want to look at or buy. Affiliate programs can be found on many websites, or may be managed by other websites such as Commission Junction, or LinkShare.

Donations are a simple way to collect money from the website of your podcast. Several podcasters have found success from asking for donations from their website visitors. There are many people who are more than glad to make a $5 or $10 donation to shows, which they may often “religiously” listen to. A blogger who I have known for years once told me that she would never put up a donation button on her blog because it was the equivalent of panhandling, and she refused to take part. Upon pressure from myself, and a few others, she reluctantly put up a donation button, and to her surprise she was happy to find that she earned a few hundred dollars over the course of the year strictly from donations. A donation button is a wonderful way to add earning power to your podcast, and no one should think of it as e-Panhandling. In fact, a donation button is a great way for those who get so much from a podcast to give back just a little.

Corporate Sponsorships are for those who are looking to earn more than just spending money from their podcasting hobby. The value of a podcast is simply based on how many active subscribers that it has, and the more subscribers that the podcast has, the greater it’s value becomes for commercial sponsorships. There is no simple formula for obtaining corporate sponsorships, the simple advice would be to publish well produced podcasts, keep count of your listeners, maintain a clean and functional website, and be sure to add contact information on your website for those who may be interested in sponsoring your podcast. No podcast success story is more known to up and coming podcasters than MommyCast, the podcast for mothers. Two women from Virginia managed to pull in major corporate sponsorships for their podcast, and they found success.

As the number of podcasts continues to increase, their value as an advertisement medium also continues to increase, and as that value increases so does the potential to begin earning serious income from your podcast.

Comedy is not an easy gig, but there is one thing for sure and that is people never get tired of entertainment. Some people have the need to entertain others and if this is you, then you may be already on the road to a professional career.

The internet and podcasting is connecting audiences with entertainers like never before. You can become famous and if you have an ounce of talent it can be appreciated, which is after all the whole point of the exercise.

Podcasting is an ideal medium for voice based comedy routines, and particularly good for verbal comedy between 2 ’stars’ bantering. In fact many podcasts involve ‘duos’. The dynamic of two creates an energy and
anime that is difficult to achieve alone, unless one is the most seasoned professional.

But even if you are going solo, you could still present material in a form that shows off your skill. One possible idea is - presenter of the show, with ‘comedic’ or interesting guests, whether real or playing roles.

The point is not quantity but quality and keeping in mind the big picture. The next leap after podcasting may be to go into online video, radio, television or film.

Starting a podcast can be a great way of honing your comedy skills as well as getting feedback from listeners as to what they like and what you can do that creates the best effect.

If you find the whole thing too stressful just do one for fun with a friend, and you never know where it will take you. Your podcast could be your stepping stone to comedy success.

We wish you luck!

The Author is the Editor of Podcast Directory where you can find podcasts of many different types, listen to them for free and submit your own podcasts to the podcast listening world.

So here you are: You have developed a great podcast, with excellent content for a very tight niche. And you are prepared to podcast on this topic with top-notch content for a long time to come.

Now what?

Now you have to get your podcast out into the world to be heard. Many broadcasters to simply podcast for personal interest or to get their opinions out into the world, don’t bother to market their podcast. And perhaps, if you have a small and faithful following that might be all you’re interested in. For example, maybe you are pastor at a church and it doesn’t matter to you other people outside of your congregation hear your podcasts, as long as they are available for your parishioners. That’s fine.

But there are many people, especially business podcasters, who need to be heard. Perhaps you need to be heard because of the importance of your sell your product and put food on the table, whatever the reason is, you need to do your podcast out there.

The first in you want to do is submit your podcast to the podcast hosting sites mentioned in a previous chapter. If you haven’t done that already, take time to be that right away. Don’t just submit to one, submit to all of them.

The next thing you need to do is to make sure that your marketing material (if you are a business) contains the web site on which your podcast is hosted. For example, if your company has a web site, make sure it’s on your marketing material. Then go on to your company’s web site and make sure that the podcast is easy to see. Lots of companies have very busy web sites which makes it difficult to notice if there are new items on the page. You might also want to put on your marketing material something along the lines that of “subscribe to our podcast.”

Just plunking down your podcast on your web site and a web address on your marketing material will not get you very many subscribers. It could get some calm and that’s great, but just like any other product that you sell you need to give people a reason to subscribe to your podcast.

If you haven’t noticed, this chapter talks about content and niche marketing but the underlying secret of both of those is value. When you offer a value, people will come to you. If your product solves a problem, they will buy it from you. If your service benefits someone, they will buy it from you. If your podcast helps them in some way, they will subscribe to it… or even buy it from you.

So how do you make your podcast provide value? This chapter, and previous chapters, give lots of ideas to help provide value: people are looking for interesting and engaging entertainment, information, and instruction to listen to at their convenience. That’s what podcasting is all about. Those three things:

1. Interest and engagement. (Is the format varied and easy to listen to?)

2. Entertainment, information, instruction. (Is the content of high quality?)

3. Convenience. (Is it an appropriate length and updated with appropriate frequency?)

That is the best test to ensure that your podcast provides value. If it does not to fulfill all three things than you’ll find your subscribership will diminish over time.

Here is another exercise that will help you determine your value to your subscribers. If you have spent any time in sales or as an entrepreneur you’ll probably already familiar with this, but it is a good exercise to do nonetheless, since it is often overlooked in the podcasting industry.

Features and Benefits of your podcast

1. One one side of a piece of paper, list the features of your podcast. Leave plenty of lines under each feature. What are features? The topic is a feature, the length is a feature, the frequency you update it is a feature, it’s a feature if two people host the show, the format can be a feature, and your variety and quality of content is a feature.

2. On the other side of the paper, list the benefits: what it is about those features that subscribers will find helpful. For example, CNN provides very short podcasts of excellence depth. Those are features. The benefits are that the listener will save time and become well informed.

3. Determine if there is one or two of those benefits that set you apart from other podcasts in a similar category. For example, perhaps you can provide the same depth of coverage on a sports team as another podcast, but you can do it with greater frequency or with more expert analysis. (Of course those of the features, but the benefits are that your subscriber can save time and increased knowledge by become better informed more frequently).

4. Now promote those benefits!

This is a classic feature/benefits exercise from sales training 101. It is often overlooked in podcasting because podcasting is such a personal medium and its brand-new so people are pushing the boundaries in spite of the lack of benefits to their listeners.

Pushing the boundaries is okay if that’s what you want to do, but if your interest is in gaining subscribers or in making money from podcasting, then you’ll want to discover the benefits of your podcast and promote them.

If you can drive people to your web site, you might be able to you post a couple benefits beside your podcast link. Or, if your marketing material has enough room, you can put those benefits right under your heading “subscribe to our podcast”.

You might also find that, although they may appreciate the benefits and value that you provide, they may be scared off by how “technologically advanced” it seems to them. Rather than calling it a podcast, you may want to call it an online audio program or an Internet radio show. It may not be exactly accurate, but it’s a lot easier then telling people that it’s a podcast and spending half an hour explaining it to them and telling them why they don’t need an iPod to hear you.

You may also want to you pay other people to host affiliate advertising to send an end to your site if you are creating a podcast for people to pay to listen to. These concepts are covered in a little greater detail in the next chapter, but it is appropriate to mention them here at something else to think about in marketing your podcast.

The best form of advertising for any kind of business is word of mouth advertising. It he can get your search drivers to be your biggest supporters and talk about you all the time to their friends, you won’t have any problem getting subscribers. How do you do that? (You should be able to answer this in your sleep by now: content, niche markets, benefits). It is still very early in the industry, but it won’t be long before you see referral marketing programs that give subscribers some kind of discount or freebie for getting other people to subscribe to a podcast. With a little creativity, you may be able to start doing this right now.

Getting subscribers is all about providing value. If people see the value, they will subscribe. Tell them about your program, tell them what the value is to them, and tell them how to subscribe, and tell them to get their friends to subscribe, and you should not have any problem building up a big list of subscribers.

And with this audience, you’ll be able to get your views heard and maybe even make some money!

What is podcasting?

Although we’ll get into the technical terms later, podcasting is an audio file that you can listen to on your computer or on a portable device. Note that it does not have to be an iPod, but can be almost any kind of portable audio device, also referred to as an MP3 player. An MP3 .player, though, is also a misnomer because these devices will often play more than just MP3 files

How can I understand podcasting?

If you were to ask someone on the street what podcasting is, most of them will not have any idea what you are talking about. They will ask if you said “broadcasting.” You might explain to them that it is a special audio file that you can listen to on your MP3 player. But even then you would not be doing it justice. Here are some other ways of understanding what podcasting is.

That is one way to think of podcasting: the information that you are interested in delivered to you, without the stuff you don’t want. Some people have called podcasting TiVo radio.

Another way to think of podcasting is like a radio program that is only about your specific interests and when you click the link or synchronize your MP3 player with your computer, it gets downloaded to you automatically.

And a third way to think of podcasting is a targeted audio program for businesses to add value to their customers and prospects, and for organizations to pass information on to their users.

However you think of podcasting, other people will still give you a funny look because it is still in its infancy. In fact, the term “podcasting” was only coined in 2004! It won’t be long, though, and everyone will be talking about it.

How does it work?

Essentially, podcasting allows you to select the things you’d like to listen to, subscribe to them, have them downloaded to your computer or portable audio device, and listen to them when you want to. Once you’ve subscribed, they will update automatically for you, like a magazine you don’t think about until the subscription arrives in your mailbox every month.

What is the advantage of a podcast over other types of broadcasting? Podcasts assimilate radio, portable CD players, and satellite radio, into one convenient format, and allow new uses not previously available. So what is it that you can listen to? What kinds of podcasting are available? The answer to those questions is this: everything you can possibly imagine! You will be amazed at the volume and variety of podcasts out there and the possibilities that exist.

Just as the Internet has allowed pretty much anybody to create visual files of information and entertainment, called web pages, podcasting has allowed virtually anybody to create audio files of information and entertainment. While the technical details are not important here, all someone needs in order to become a podcaster is a computer and an Internet hook-up. You don’t even need a microphone to create your first podcast. (You may want to get one later, but you don’t need one now). In fact, if you have a telephone and can browse the Internet, you will be able to listen to podcasts and even create your own.

Who can podcast? Anyone can podcast! We’ll go into much greater detail later about who might want to podcast, but generally speaking, there are several reasons why everyone would want to podcast:

• Organizations like churches and nonprofits will podcast to keep people up to date with what’s going on, providing news, seminars and speeches, meeting transcriptions, etc.

• Businesses will podcast to maintain their name in the marketplace, offer information on products or strategies, and position themselves as the expert in their industry.

• Individuals will podcast if they have something to say to the world. Opinions, rants, and artistic offerings are all fair game in podcasting.

Podcasting formats are as varied as the types of podcasts available. Some podcasts are like monologues where one person simply shares their ideas into a microphone for the listener to hear. Other podcasts are a dialogged between two or more people and may or may not follow format. Some podcasts are unscripted while others seem to be very scripted. Podcasting contain music, interviews, and while audio podcasts are quite popular now, audio/video podcasts are slowly gaining popularity as well.

Apple’s infamous iPod has been selling for years now and is still the reigning king of portable music players. Prices have come down significantly since the iPod was released, which is the trend with most electronics equipment today. However, unbeknownst to many, there is a world of podcasting – downloadable broadcasting based around an iPod which many people may not be familiar with. Podcasting 101 is here to help newcomers learn about the basics of this powerful informational tool. To begin with, many who have heard of podcasts think that an iPod is a necessary requirement in order to join the podcasting scene. Podcasting 101 is here to tell you that all podcasts can be listened to on your desktop or laptop computer as long as you have special programs to decode the podcasts. Many of these programs work on both Windows and Apple computers and are generally free to download. Check your local download site or try a search on Google ™.

The first thing to note from Podcasting 101 is that most podcasts are totally free of charge. Podcasting differs greatly from traditional broadcasting in its distribution method. The most important difference between the two forms of broadcasting is that the podcast is downloadable, meaning that an internet connection is only required for a short time no matter how long the podcast is. This means that the listener does not have to stop from time to time to wait for the download speed to catch up with the speed of listening. Also, the key thing to note about podcasts is that you can listen to them whenever you choose. Another note from Podcasting 101 is that you have the ability to speed forward through sections you may not want to hear in a podcast, just like if would be if you owned a CD or tape. This is due to the fact that podcasts are downloaded directly to your computer instead of streamed from the internet. Because of the ability to download them, podcasts are also distributable to portable music players, like the iPod so you can listen to them at your discretion. I myself, ahave been interested in podcasts for marketing purposes and I will be researching that starting tomorrow.

Podcasting 101 recommends the use of Apple’s iTunes service as the best way to download and listen to podcasts. Through this service, people are able to download individual episodes or subscribe to as many different podcasts as they wish. A subscription to a podcast means that when a new episode is available, iTunes will automatically download that episode to your computer so you will receive each episode as soon as it is released.

With the ever dynamic and advancing technology, marketing strategies have also improved. Among the latest techniques are blogging and podcasting on the Internet. In fact, major companies like Disney, BMW and IBM are into podcasting in a bid to promote their products. Podcasting is one effective way to reach your audience and make your connection with them more interactive. So who says you can’t do it? You just have to learn the technique as soon as you can so your customers won’t have to go anywhere else.

How to go about it? There are several ways with which you can use podcasts in your business promotions – via customercasts, contestcasts, conferencecasts, cashcasts, CEO cubiclecasts and podcast suggestion box.

In coming up with customercasts, you will have to record the voice of the people who are very knowledgeable about your products and services – who else but your loyal customers. You can interview them over the phone, in a studio or using digital recorders and ask them about their opinions and thoughts. You can then edit their comments to aid in developing your products and customer service as well as in improving your sales.

We all know that contests always attract customers so why not use a contestcast, too. Come up with an exciting contest that will encourage customers to phone in their own podcast (20 to 30 seconds will do) about your product or service through a specified conference call line. As an incentive, you can offer prizes or perhaps, discounts for them. You can then use their testimonials as an audio link to your site.

At one time or another, each of us has attended a conference. However, due to geographical limitations, sometimes we find it hard to personally be there. That’s why the teleconference and videoconference have been invented. And now, we also have the conferencecast. This can be very helpful to those who may not be able to attend all the sessions included in a certain conference. You can delegate the work of editing highlights of daily speeches into a single, concise podcast (at least 15 minutes) to your audio team. Even at the start of the conference, you may already inform attendees that they can subscribe to “the best of speeches” podcast to allow them to catch up with the issues they could miss should they fail to attend some sessions.

Cashcasts could feature guidelines on making successful sales as well as reports on potential clients courtesy of top salesmen. This can be utilized by sales-oriented companies by recording interviews regularly with top sales people to serve as guide for the other sales representatives.

CEO cubiclecasts are one way of reaching out to employees who need to hear from their top management on any developments about the organization they are working for. This can be in the form of a radio program where executives talk with their workers on various subjects or CEOs giving advice to their employees.

A podcast suggestion box should be a regular feature as this is an effective way to get the sentiments of employees concerning various aspects of their job. Major companies normally have a phone line that can record calls and instantly create an MP3 or WAV file. The best suggestions or critiques can be included in the weekly podcast. In this way, employees are assured that their voices are heard and considered in further improving the organization.

Podcastblaster is a site specializing in all aspect of podcasting and provides an extensive podcast directory covering many topics including business podcasts.
