A Pretty Good Podcast Is All You Need – A Podcast How-to

©2010 Doug Champigny – http://dougchampigny.com

A pretty good podcast, or really a succession of pretty good podcasts, is all you need to attract an online audience. But just what does a ‘pretty good podcast’ entail?

First, let’s look at how to make a podcast. A podcast is just creating MP3 files from your audios – it can be you reading an article, giving advice, teaching how to do something or an audio recording of a teleseminar or webinar you did. If you’ve been creating MP3 audios and putting them on your blog, you’re already a podcaster whether you knew it or not.

So don’t be frightened of becoming a podcaster, especially since you don’t have to get it perfect – a pretty good podcast will see you through. Your best podcasts will be the ones that deliver the most information, information helpful to your target audience, irregardless of the quality of your MP3 audios.

Now that doesn’t mean you should have a lot of background noise or poor recording quality – your best podcasts should be crystal clear and easy to understand. But creating a pretty good podcast can be done with the standard mic and headset combinations for computers, or even with the mic built into most laptops and netbooks these days.

If you need a podcast tutorial there are a lot of Podcasting 101 type of resources online, but really it’s just a matter of recording the material you want and then uploading the audio MP3s to your blog or using an RSS feed to submit your podcast site to a podcast directory like Podcast Alley or iTunes.

But the main point here is it doesn’t have to be perfect – you don’t need fancy intros, background music, audio effects and the like – nor do you need to have that perfect ‘radio voice’. As long as you speak clearly and don’t have a heavy accent you’ll be fine – or, of course, you can always have a friend, colleague or pro voiceover artist do the MP3 recording if you feel your voice isn’t ‘right’ for your podcasts.

In general though, don’t get too wrapped up in the technical side of RSS feeds, creating MP3 audios, building an RSS script, etc – focus on the content you deliver, and on delivering that helpful content on a regular schedule. As any successful podcaster can tell you, consistency is more important than the quality of your MP3 audios, as long as you’re producing a pretty good podcast at the minimum.

In yesterday’s post I mentioned the interview I’d done with Carl Galletti about the huge PLR sale he has on right now at his Product Source Goldmine event. It’s only on for 2 weeks, with 2 price increases during that time, so I had to rush this to you:

Carl Galletti’s Product source goldmine is the biggest PLR event so far this year, with over 790 megabytes of PLR in the bundle – and Carl reveals a couple of great secrets about what you’re getting in the interview – be sure to listen all the way through for the big news at the end – then scoot on over to his massive PLR Sale site to see if you’re still in time to get your copy!

Yesterday I uploaded a free downloadable gift from Teri & I – a short report and an audio version of it. Did you get your gift downloaded ok?

FREE Article Marketing Overview Report and Audio

If not, grab it now. If you did get it, have you listened to the audio yet? Pretty cool way to deliver content, isn’t it? Same with the podcasts on my blog, which are just audio versions of the articles there.

Notice the Intro and Exit portions of the recording? That’s how you brand yourself with audio, establish name recognition and add a call to action at the end. And the beat and style of music track you choose to put under it sets the tone and pace, usually helping you to get your listeners more fired up or better relaxed, depending on your goals with that audio.

It’s the same with your videos too – using the same music & voiceover style for your videos will help build your brand as well – in fact, the lack of the music & sound effects is one of the ways to identify amateur efforts, and your mind knows that instantly. When you think about it, even your loacal News & Sports, on TV or radio, use music tracks to identify themselves.

But how do you get these tracks? Pro tracks that are royalty-free so you can use them when you want to? Maybe even resell them to others? Here’s a rare insider tip for you – almost every big name in the biz gets their tracks from the same person – our friend Ginny Culp. And now YOU can too:

Royalty-Free Music Tracks For Internet Marketing

You get fresh tracks, audio e-courses, squeeze page audios, sound effects, audio e-books – all for less than having one custom track done for you – although Ginny does that too on ocassion. Best of all, these are aimed specifically at those of us in the IM and niche markets, so they’re appropriate without any heavy-duty editing. Take a cruise through the site and look at all that’s included there for you – Download Royalty-Free Music Tracks, Audio E-Courses, Audio E-Books & More!

PS – Be smart about this one – you already know you’ll have to get into audio and video before long if you aren’t already using them, so lock in this source now. You can go month-by-month, or choose 2, 3 or 6 month plans – the 6-month plan is less than half rate, so go for that if you can – but choose the plan that fits YOU best…

Here it is Sunday already, the last day of November. In
a month it’s New Years Eve, then 2009 kicks off the next
day! Have you set things up to hit 2009 with a big bang
financially, or will it limp in for you with a whimper?

No matter what you may think, the choice is 100% yours
to make – your own success is completely under your own
control, your destiny waiting for you to craft it…
Right now, you have one obligation – to yourself, your
family and those important to you – Choose Success!

To dominate 2009 you have to positively reframe your
headspace – think 2009 and beyond, not 2008 extended. The
net doesn’t stand still for any of us, and to truly be a
success online we need to focus on where it is now and
where it’s heading. Nowadays that means more audio & video,
more interactivity, and fewer static pages and sites.

This Wednesday, we’re releasing Using PLR Videos -
the recording of our paid teleseminar on using PLR Videos
to create your own unique products, along with the written
transcript in PDF format, and a brand-new set of videos
showing step-by-step how to do everything talked about in
the teleseminar! This bundle will do for PLR videos what
our PLR Tutorial videos did for PLR E-Books – make them a
viable product source for anyone to use online!

And as we did with the PLR Tutorial Videos , we’re only
releasing 100 standard resell rights licenses ever, with
no MRR or PLR to this bundle ever being released. Last
time, the licenses were gone within 4 days of launch, and
we’ve never made any more availabel – nor will we. This
time we expect the same sort of results…

On release this Wednesday, the remaining licenses will
be $97.00 as an OTO, or $147.00 after the purchase of the
bundle itself. But, if you act now, you can get your own
bundle & license for just $47.00 – half the outlay for the
license 3 days from now!

Last 3 Days To Save! <= Page disappears in 60 hours!

The product will teach you to profit from PLR videos; the
license will let you profit from the bundle itself! Pre-book
YOUR license right now to be sure you’re one of the 100 ever
to have rights to this powerful new training bundle:

Pre-Order YOUR Standard Resell Rights License NOW!

Convert PLR Videos into Unique Products To Sell Online!

PS – If you’re new to our online family, ask friends in the
biz and they’ll tell you… When we say a rate is going up,
a page will be taken offline or an offer will end and no
more will ever be released, we’ve ALWAYS done extactly that;
it’s never just been a ploy. So when we say Tuesday is the
final day to get the license for so little or that only 100
licenses will ever be available, we’re NOT kidding. Get your
license pre-booked right now, or be prepared to miss out:

It’s You… Live! Podcasting and Vlogging Your Way To Success Online! by Doug Champigny.

I just released my 10th or 11th original e-book today, this time on Podcasting & Video Blogging. Podcasting is blogging using audios while vlogging is bloggging using videos, for all intents and purposes. This is one of the few areas of Internet marketing that I haven’t written any books on before, and I noticed very few of the Internet marketers I meet are podcasting or vlogging, even though nowadays most of them have text-based blogs.

More on podcasting and vlogging later this week, but for today I want you to take a look at the salespage for it at my new Podcasting And Vlogging website – but DON’T try to buy it. The payment button won’t go live til next week. I just want you to see that page to find out what all I’ve crammed in there – it really does have all the info you need to be podcasting & vlogging by the end of today.

But now for the good news – if you read this post before Monday, Oct 20, 2008, I’m going to let you download my new podcasting & vlogging e-book for FREE – and even through in the Private Label Rights to go with it! You get the e-book in .doc format, the graphics complete as jpg & psd, blank graphics as jpg – even a copy of the same salespage you see at my podcasting & vlogging web site!

So you have the rest of this week to get over to The FreePLR Giveaway and download my e-book and over 20 others with unrestricted PLR – or you can buy it from the podcasting & vlogging site if you didn’t see this post in time.

Enjoy the book, add podcasting & vlogging to your Internet marketing tools, and take another giant step towards success online!

Doug Champigny,
http://www.podcasting-and-vlogging.com

PS – Would love to read your comments once you’ve read the book. Either post them here or do a podcast review or video post review of the e-book and send me the link, ok? Thanks! DC.
