Podcasting: The future of info-marketing

Jim Edwards here with an article that will change the way
you think about “simple” MP3 files…

The concept discussed in this article (below) is NOT just
for “geeks” and computer “nerds!”

Mark my words…

… this will cause a fundamental change in the way
information is shifted around, shared, and consumed online
by “real” people like you and me in the very near future.

Combine this with some recent moves at Google, and online
video consumption is NOT far behind.

The best advice I can give you as a subscriber is to pay
attention to this technology and how it develops in the
coming months.

PS – I just got back from the Big Seminar this past week
and it was dynamite… in fact, I picked up a couple of
ideas that I KNOW are going to kick my business into high-
gear the rest of this year.

Armand and his wife, Marianna, always put on a first-class
event packed with quality information and incredible
networking opportunities.

Armand is releasing DVD’s of the event at a FRACTION of the

Podcasting: Internet Radio On Demand… and MORE!

If you haven’t heard the term “podcast” yet, you will.

It’s about to blow the world of online audio through the
roof as every Tom, Dick and Shirley can now operate a high
powered Internet Radio station providing on-demand audio
(and shortly, video) with nothing more than a microphone,
simple software, and a little imagination.

Just like cable TV in the 1980′s gave smaller networks and
individuals a voice on television, podcasting gives
individuals a voice (literally) through online audio.

Podcasting is actually the audio form of “blogging,” where
individuals share their thoughts in writing over time on a
dynamic webpage known as a “blog.”

With blogging, subscribers and other blog publishers
subscribe to and cross promote each other’s content by
linking to and writing about each other.

With podcasting, the author shares his or her thoughts in
audio form (MP3) and subscribers download and listen to the
audio either on their computers, burn the files to CD, or
transfer the files to one of the increasingly popular
portable MP3 players.

In fact, the term “podcasting” draws its name from the
iPod, created by Apple Computers.

Initially you might think the only people podcasting are
geeks and computer nerds, but that’s not the case.

If you imagine “talk radio” meets “free cable access” then
you have and idea of what pocasting is now and how it could
evolve in the future.

Right now, any idiot (like me) with a microphone and
something to say can create an online radio show.

This type of access to media that reaches a world-wide
market enables smaller, niche publishers to develop a
world-wide following that just isn’t monetarily feasible in
traditional mass-media.

That means talk shows like “Chihuahua Breeding” or
“Motorcycle Fashion Weekly” that could never hope to afford
air time in a local market, can now develop an audience on
the Internet.

Log on to www.PodCastAlley.com to peruse a wide range of
available shows on everything from dog training to wine
selection and tasting tips (one of the most popular).

Despite all this potential power, podcasting remains in an
infancy stage right now.

But, the Internet has always proven in the past that a
powerful but simple technology will always find a way to
make itself felt quickly.

All it needs to explode is a few people to lead the way and
show exactly how to use the technology to entertain and
educate subscribers.

I also think two worlds will evolve for podcasting program
publishers, just like cable vs. network television.

Some content will remain free (network TV), while some
subscribers will gladly pay for more specific “niche” or
pay-per-view content (cable TV).

As the quality of the programming increases along with more
widespread acceptance of the tools necessary to consume the
content (MP3 players and portable video players),
podcasting will grow to stand beside other mainstream
media.

It won’t happen overnight, and it won’t penetrate every
market, but as members of the “global village” seek to find
and feel a connection with like-minded individuals,
regardless of their physical location, podcasting provides
a cheap, powerful, and innovative solution for that basic
human need.
