No more missing a talk show broadcast because they are sitting in class or in a meeting at the wrong time. With podcasting, one gets just the content they want, from the sources they want, when they want it. And there are no ads or commercials. What Tivo has done for TV viewing, podcasting can do for radio listening too.
(PRWEB) May 25, 2005 -- Interested in a new, cutting-edge tool that can reach
millions of potential customers? Then look no further as podcasters have a brand
new E-book that shows people how to do it in only a few hours.
A podcast is an audio file stored on the Internet that
customers can download to their computers or MP3 players and listen to whenever
they want.
Now, one may be thinking, “So what? - MP3 files have been
available for download from the internet for years!” Well, what makes podcasting
different and truly useful as a business tool is that customers can subscribe to
programs they are interested in. This means that free and easy-to-use podcasting
software automatically downloads new podcasts to your customers computers as
soon as they are available. This is what is being called, "Time-Shifted
Listening."
Just how big is the potential reach of podcasting? Consider
these numbers from the Pew Internet & American Life Project. According to
their research:
-More than 22 million US adults own an iPod or other MP3
player – 13% of men and 9% of women
- 20% of the lucrative 18- to 28-year-old
market owns an iPod or other MP3 player
- 29% of the people who own an iPod
or MP3 player have downloaded a podcast
This translates to six million
U.S. adults who have downloaded podcasts – a truly impressive figure considering
podcasting is still a relatively new technology.
The keys to the early
success of podcasting is that it offers great choice and
convenience.
Podcasting Offers Customers A Choice
Podcasts can be
about any topic one can think of. They might be about music, a talk show, a
lecture, a recorded tele-seminar, a sermon, etc. Possible applications for
podcasting include:
- Interviewing authors and leaders in ones industry, then
offering the interviews through a podcast on their website
- Offering
late-breaking industry news
- Offering in-depth information to niche
customers.
For example:
- Medical organizations can offer podcasts on
such topics as bariatric (weight loss) surgery, diabetes control, glaucoma,
alternative medicine, and more
- Religious organizations can use podcasts to
distribute weekly sermons, extol their beliefs and offerings, and otherwise
share their message
- Preschools and day care centers can offer parenting
tips
- Universities can offer audio lectures, student calendars and
orientation, and campus tours
- Travel agents can offer audio tours of
popular cities
- Chambers of Commerce can introduce potential tourists,
conventions, and businesses to their cities
- Museums and historic sites can
offer private guided tours of their facilities
- Conference presenters can
offer podcasts of their sessions for people who were unable to attend the
sessions
- Companies and non-profit organizations can offer training to their
employees and volunteers
Podcasting Offers Customers Convenience
If
one publishes or plans to publish any type of audio file for their customers –
whether audio newsletters, teleconference calls, interviews, lectures, etc. –
podcasting simplifies everything for both the podcaster and their customers.
Once customers subscribe to the podcast, the podcaster won’t have to worry about
sending the customers an email to download a new MP3. Instead, the podcast audio
file will land directly on your customers’ desktops every time you create a new
podcast, by using an aggregator software, like Ipodder.
The convenience
continues even after the download. Once the podcasts are downloaded to the
customers’ computers, they can synch them to their MP3 players, burn them to a
CDs, or simply listen to them through their computer speakers.
In other
words, customers can subscribe to a podcast, download it, and take it with them
as they go out jogging, work in the yard, ride their bike or commute to the
office.
Best of all, not only are podcasts themselves generally free,
but so is the podcatching software that customers will need! Both podcasts and
podcasting software are easy to find on the internet and are easy to
use.
In his new E-book, "Podcast Secrets Revealed," author Jeff Mills,
shows many more uses for people and businesses on how podcasting can help them
enjoy their favorite topics, while saving them time and even making them
money.
Now assuming one has read all the news articles and press releases
coming out about what podcasting is… there has been a severe lack of information
given out about HOW exactly people can do their own podcasts.
It really
is simple and can be done in a couple of hours if one knows which sites to hit
and which information to trust. But that can take too long.
Now there is
a new definitive guide about subscribing to and publishing podcasts, called,
“Podcast Secrets Revealed” which can be downloaded at www.podcastsecretsrevealed.com.
By adding podcasting to
a person's arsenal of business tools, they add a personal, human -- yet
cutting-edge -- touch to a company’s web site.
