How Would You
Like To Quit Your Slave Wage Day Job- And Start Making A Residual
Income That Can Make All Of Your Dreams Come True..
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!
