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!
