Podcasting for Media Attention

Podcasting for Media Attention
By Penny Haynes

Excerpt from GET MEDIA SAVVY eBook:

penny-haynes.gif

Podcasting is simply a term for creating an internet radio or tv show that people can subscribe to and automatically download the shows to their computer. Now, that’s not so scary, is it?  People let their fears of technology scare them away from very simple business tools, like Podcasting.  If you have ever recorded a telephone message, if you have ever delivered a seminar in person, over the phone or in a webinar room – honestly, if you have ever TALKED to another human being, you can podcast! 

Podcasting doesn’t even require expensive equipment.  For audio podcasting, you can:ð  

Get a $25 Radio Shack computer microphone  

Download free recording/editing/mixing software (WavePad and MixPad) from http://www.DigitalBusinessBooks.com (they are on the front page – add them to your cart for free and check out)

Watch the free seminars that come with WavePad and MixPad to get familiar with the programs.ð 

 Install the programs on your computerð      

Start creating and editing recordings.   

If you are someone who needs more help with recording, editing and mixing music, you can get a $99 video tutorial program that teaches you everything you need to know at http://www.LearnAudioAndVideo.com – Audio Recording 201.  If you do teleseminars, then record those and use them (or portions of them) for podcasting.  I use BYOAudio for all of my telephone recording needs, including telephone testimonial recording lines and teleconferences. 

For video podcasting, you can even use a free program called VideoCaster that will let you simply create videos with music from digital pictures and royalty free music.

Small Business Television and YOU!

Last week I had the honor of interviewing Susan Wilson Solovic, Founder & President of SBTV.com. 

She had some great tips for our audience about how to get involved in Internet television to promote your products and services.

She also had some startling statistics about business women and financial success. Did you know for instance, that less than 3% of all women business owners ever get past the million dollar threshold? That means we as women work very hard (oftentimes harder than men) and yet we cannot create a million dollar enterprise.  For me this is quite a wake-up call because it tells me one of two things. Women are either so content with what they do that we don’t care about making money at it or that we haven’t found the right formula (or business) to get us to that level.  In either case, I strongly urge those of you stuck in the under a million mark to relook at just why you are doing what you do?  And if your ultimate goal is to sell your business and maybe even retire, you will have to do some heavy soul searching to see if your business is worth something to someone else. 

You can start by getting a copy of Susan’s latest book - “The Girls’ Guide to Building a Million $ Business,” available at Amazon.com and your local bookstores.

Getting back to Susan’s interview - she shared ideas to connect with SBTV.com by submitting “how-to” articles to the network.  Many of the contributors become featured members on the home page giving them extraordinary exposure and opportunities. 

Did you know that SBTV.com recently went through a makeover adding a social networking aspect to the site with community forums and blogs? That means if you take advantage of these two opportunities alone, you stand a good chance of getting noticed. Why? Because the community is in it’s infancy and once it gets going the competition for attention will become harder to get.  As soon as I hung up with Susan, I and several people on the call scurried over and signed up, put up our profiles and started conversations!  And I invite you to do the same.  Just go to http://www.sbtv.com and sign up today!

 And if you are interested in what else Susan had to say, you can get your own copies of the audio program here: http://www.womensmediasummit.com/audio-recordings-on-sale-now/

Have a wonderful day…. and week!
