The Program:
You have a message. You have a voice. You have a brand. You’ve heard that podcasting will help you reach potential new clients. But you’re not sure — will it? You’ve heard podcasting is easy, but you don’t know where to start. Do you need a script? How can you do simple edits? How do you get your podcast into iTunes for downloading? How do you market your podcasts, even if they are free? How do you build an audience who can’t wait to hear what you have to say? Can you get paid for downloads? Can you do it yourself, or do you need to hire a techie?
Ron will share what you need to get started. With simple tools like a microphone, free software and a Web site or blog you can begin producing your own podcast “show.”
You will learn:
- If you are really sure you want to podcast
- Equipment needed to begin podcasting
- Considerations regarding the “show’s” format
- If and how you should use music
- Publishing on iTunes
- How to make your podcast so interesting and compelling that people will want to subscribe
- How to publicize your podcast
