I’m going to break a rule here. I know we are supposed to “Be positive,” if we want to win friends and influence people. So I guess I am looking to lose friends and upset people. I read where ROJS Media was hiring a telemarketer to try and sell advertising on their podcast. When I…
I recently switched the School of Podcasting’s membership script from Amember to Digital Access Pass. Now I can block an entire post, or just some of it. I can sell that post as a single product, or include it in a package that is delivered immediately (or “dripped over time). Digital Access Pass even has…
In July 2012 the School of Podcasting had 25,000 downloads of all my back catalog. In looking at my episodes, they average around 20 M 25,000 X 20 M = 500,000 M 500,00 M = 500 G Ignoring the amount I would get charge for uploading the four files in July, just the bandwidth…
I just came across a fitness company who has a great iPhone app. I’m not going to publish their name as I’m “working on them” to start a podcast and fear others with better sales skills could beat me to the punch. They are such a PRIME candidate for a podcast that I wanted to…
I just finished reading the book Podcasting Year One by Donovan Adkisson. As the podcast consultant from the School of Podcasting and the author of More Podcast Money: Turn Your Passion into Profits I like to read all books about podcasting. Donvan points out that this is not the be all of “How to podcast”…
Mark from the veteran radio team “Mark and Brian” has left radio to start a podcast with his wife. Mark and Brian have been doing radio since 1987 and at one point had a TV show that I barely remember. The interesting thing is they are using a NING site, and to even LOOK at…
I’ve spoken in the past and mentioned that you pay for things using one of two currencies: money, or time. Today is another example of this theory. I recently met Mike Russell from Music Radio Creative, and I started listening to his podcast. He’s a great guy, and is a shining example of someone following…
I was hanging out in a forum where a bunch of authors were talking about why they don‘t podcast. Here are some of the responses. The Moderator Benjamin Clayborne stated, “‘I’m a writer so that I don’t have to talk to people.” Unless you’re born without a tongue, you’re going to need to talk to…
In this video Leo Laporte (who is set to make about 6 million this year with his podcast) talks about why people should start a podcast. Watch Video Cheap Easy Simple. All you need is a passion. The cool thing about podcasting is its niche. Unlike radio which is broadcasting, podcasting is narrowcasting. He also…
I’ve tried Liver twice in my life. I hated it. You can’t get me to try it again. I tried Google listen three times. I hated it. It locked up. I seem to me that Google didn’t “get” podcasting. The only person I know that used it was Danile Johnson Jr (and that was a…
