Details:
I don’t know about you, but I’m a
pretty skeptical person.
I see letters about “amazing
opportunities” and “getting in the ground
floor” and I usually trash them before I get to the end.
I don’t want to offer you an
“amazing opportunity” or a chance to “get
in on the ground floor” because this letter will probably end
up where all the others do.
I Want To Give You Some Valuable
Information Totally Free To You, For Taking The Time To Read This
Message!
Information is good, right? I mean, without it, how
would we make decisions?
We’d be floundering in a sea of indecision or
(worse yet) a bad decision!
And free is good, right? You bet!
So what is this free information? It’s simple,
I want to tell you about how you can be entertained and
informed at your convenience, plus maybe make a little money to boot!.
That’s it. No gimmicks.
I want to tell you about a new technology on the
Internet that has allowed people to get information and entertainment,
plus make some easy money, all when and where they want.
What is it?
It’s Called Podcasting...
You’ve probably heard about broadcasting,
such as a news anchor does on TV.
Podcasting is like broadcasting in that someone creates
a show for an audience.
The difference is that broadcasting is done for a
general audience to tune in (through television, radio, or Internet
radio) while podcasting is much different, you can target a specific
niche which makes the power of podcasting much more exciting.
And that’s the free information I’m
going to tell you about.
Podcasting uses old technology that has been refined and
put together in a new way to allow people with the right equipment
(like an MP3 player, or an Internet connection and computer) to
automatically receive recorded audio shows.
Rather than tuning in to the show at a certain time,
like you may have to do with your favorite television show, a podcast
lets you play that downloaded audio show at your convenience.
Out for a jog? Listen to it then on your MP3 Player!
Stuck in traffic? That’s a perfect time to
turn off the mindless blather on the radio and tune in to a better
program.
Enjoying a quiet night at home? Why not listen there,
too!
Podcasting is about listening to
an audio program when and where you want.
I know what your next question is. It was mine, too. So
what? Who cares? I don’t listen to the radio all that much so
why would I listen to this radio program.
It’s not a radio program. That’s
what makes it great. Let me explain it this way:
If you have cable or satellite television, like most
people do, you probably enjoy a number of specialty channels that are
focused around one theme. Perhaps it’s a certain type of
music channel. Or a channel about history. Or a channel about books.
If it’s a channel of
your interests, are you more likely to enjoy it?
Sure you are, because it’s something
you’re interested in.
It offers more focused and in depth coverage of the
kinds of things you have a passion for.
Even if you pay for it, you will still enjoy it more
than the free television you got from your antenna, right?
Absolutely. Because it’s focused on topics of
interest to you.
And that is the next exciting thing about podcasting.
Podcasting is not just a bunch of radio programs that are like every
other radio program out there.
Podcasts are focused programs that are geared to very
specific niche markets.
Got an interest in historical figures? There’s
a podcast audio program about that.
Got an interest in the air force? There’s a
podcast audio program about that.
Drink too much coffee and love it? There’s a
podcast audio program for that.
There are thousands of podcasts out there and
there’s bound to be something of interest to you. Whether you
like to laugh at comedians or learn from experts, there’s
something of interest to everyone.
And they take different formats, too. Some are trivia
shows. Some are interviews. Some are lectures or single-person rants.
Some are full-fledged production-quality shows with effects and special
guests, like a late night talk show.
Okay, I know your next question, too, because I asked it
as well: Satellite television can be pretty pricey, how much does
podcasting cost? Nothing.
That's Right, Zero, Zip, Nada - Poscasts are totally
FREE!
This is where I grew very skeptical because there are
very few things in life that are free. But it is free and
here’s why.
Podcasting is done by people with an interest in the
area that they are podcasting on.
Anyone can podcast, and even though it’s
picked up by your computer and transmitted to your MP3 player, you
don’t actually need to have a computer to be a podcaster; you
can just do it over the phone.
As well, podcasting is so new (the word podcasting was
coined in 2004) and there is no regulatory body overseeing the industry
so people are trying all kinds of things to figure out what works and
what doesn’t in the world of podcasting.
The accessibility and “newness” and
lack of rules has meant that it has become a primary form of
self-expression. The result is that there are thousands of podcasts out
there. And they’re free.
But in spite of the variety and the low cost of zero
dollars, that’s not why I like podcasting.
I like podcasting because it’s an automated
system. Like when you subscribe to a magazine, you don’t give
it a second thought until it reaches your mailbox. Then you remember
that you’ve subscribed and you read it.
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!
