Podcasting technology allows you to subscribe to a podcast that you
like (for free), have it downloaded to your computer (for free) as
often as it is updated (for free), and from there you can listen to it
on your computer or on your MP3 player (for free).
If
the podcast you want is updated daily, like a podcast covering the news
headlines of the day, your computer will pick it up every day. If the
podcast you subscribe to is about major league baseball and it is
updated once a week, your computer will automatically get it once a
week.
Whenever a podcast is updated, your computer gets it automatically. So it’s convenient.
I put it the latest podcast on my MP3 player to listen to when I take
my dog for a walk. That’s convenient as well. That’s why I like
podcasting: continual updates on my favorite shows so that I can listen
whenever and wherever I want.
And it sure doesn’t hurt that it’s free!
So why am I telling you all this? I want to share with you three exciting things.
First, that podcasts are an exciting new medium that give you convenient, free programming that you will enjoy.
Second,
if you’re looking for a way to share your interest and hobbies with
others, this is a great way to do it. Did I mention that was free as
well?
That’s right, it doesn’t cost anything to
podcast, which is probably another reason why so many people are
podcasting. Everyone has something to say and in many cases what they
have to say is interesting to someone else.
For example,
if you have a passionate interest in the stock market, there’s plenty
of other people out there with the same interest who might be
interested to hear how you’ve done so well in it. (In fact, there’s
several of those podcasts already).
So podcasting is a way for you to share your interests and hobbies with other people. That makes it a lot of fun!
And I said there were three exciting things I wanted to tell you about. I’ve only mentioned two so far.
The
third thing I wanted to share with you was that podcasting is also a
chance for a person who runs a business, or a person who is thinking of
starting a business to make some money.
Now for skeptical
people like ourselves, you’re probably wondering how freely made and
freely distributed podcasts can make money. I’m glad you asked.
There
are many ways you can make money from podcasting. For example, not all
podcasts are free, although most of them are. I believe paid podcasts
are going to be the next wave of podcasts that we’ll see, just like
cable television and satellite television were the pay-per-view wave
that followed free television.
And there are other ways
that an entrepreneur could make money on this fledgling industry. I’d
like to show you how you can make money from podcasting.
When you order this book, Podcasting: For Fun & Profit you will learn everything you need to know about podcasting.
It is a detailed book written in clear, simple English so that even technophobes can learn from it.
In
the Podcasting For Fun & Profit you will learn more about what
podcasting is, how it can operate for free, how you can hear podcasts
at your convenience and how you can begin to create your own podcasts.
You’ll
find examples and exercises that take you through it every step of the
way. And once you know more about what podcasting is and how to
podcast, it takes it to the next level by showing you how to create
great podcasts that sell. And it finishes off by showing you ten
specific ways to make money from podcasting.
You’ll be
surprised at how easy it is to get started and how much potential there
is in this new industry. And once you’re done reading Podcasting For
Fun & Profit I believe you’ll want to do the same thing I’m doing
now and write to everyone you can about how exciting podcasting is and
what a great opportunity it can be.
I look forward to hearing your podcast!
