How To Podcast

Learning to Podcast - part 2



Continued from Learning to Podcast (part 1)..

When you have the right tools, and you learn how to use them effectively, you will find that podcasting and video blogging really is a great deal of fun. Do you remember the great LonelyGirl15 hoax? While the whole thing was a hoax, those were kids doing that video blogging series! If kids are willing to put that much effort into you, you know there has to be some joy and fun in it somewhere! Even though the whole thing has been exposed, it is still being produced, and it still has a huge following. The acting is bad. The story line is farfetched most of the time... but it is still interesting.

This alone should give you not only an indication that it really is easy once you get the hang of it, but also that video blogging and podcasting are wildly popular. You may feel like you wouldn't have a good following...but why wouldn't you? If you can get people to visit your website, you can certainly get people to listen to your podcast or view your video blog. It's easier, but like everything else, it comes down to how well you promote it. It may take several tries to get it right.

Remember that you can ask for feedback from your listeners/viewers. They will tell you what they want or expect, if you just listen to what they are telling you. Try different styles or formats until you are producing what the majority of your audience wants.


Finally, don't make the mistake of thinking that podcasting and/or video blogging is a trend that is going to pass. It's not going to go backwards. It is only going to move forward and become bigger and more technologically advanced. It is important, from an Internet Marketing standpoint, to learn this new technology in it's infancy, which is actually where it still is today.

Learning the technology now, will make it easier to learn and move with new technology in the future. Podcasting and video blogging aren't just good promotional tools, they also serve to build your credibility, to earn more profit, and of course, they are really fun to do once you know how.

To your success - and enjoyment - in using audio & video online!
