Using Podcasts To Market

Podcasts can be a great way to get your message out and to communicate with your niche target market. What is a podcast?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

A podcast is a series of digital media files, either audio or video, that is released episodically and downloaded through web syndication. The mode of delivery is what differentiates podcasts from other ways of accessing media files over the Internet, such as simple download or streamed webcasts: special client software applications known as podcatchers (like iTunes, Zune, Juice, and Winamp) are used to automatically identify and download new files in the series when they are released by accessing a centrally-maintained web feed that lists all files associated with the series. New files can thus be downloaded automatically by the podcatcher and stored locally on the user's computer or other device for offline use, giving simpler access to episodic content.

Like the term broadcast, podcast can refer either to an ongoing series or episodes of a particular program.[1] A podcaster is the person who creates the content.

Yes, you can communicate thru podcasting to your niche target market. Send your newsletter in audio format, create and send a video with helpful info to your target audience, announce teleseminars, provide teleseminar replays,ect. thru podcasting.

NEVER DONE PODCASTING. WELL DON'T FRET. YOU CAN BECOME AN EXPERT IN A COUPLE HOURS. JUST GO TO budurl.com/expertwithpodcasts

Do You Suidoo?

Do You Utilize Squidoo In YOUR Seminar Marketing?

Today I took the Squidoo plunge...

Yup, I set up my first Squidoo Lens with the assistance of my Squidoo expert Carol Owens. I have to admit, it was a bit of stretch to have a dedicated Squidoo coach but,

I'm a firm believer in utilizing the best coaches in driving traffic to my blogs, websites, and social marketing sites!

Whew!

Now that I better understand Squidoo and what it can do for my business, it's a freakin' no brainer!

John and I have been rockin' the social marketing scene lately and want to get your feedback, sound ok to you?

Here's our first Lens:

Seminar Marketing

Sidenote: I figured what the heck...Seth Godin (one of my favorite marketers and authors) created this platform for entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants, trainers, and small biz owners...

Why not give it a shot!

Go ahead, check out the Lens and give us some link love :)

OK, feedback time....

What has your experience been with Squidoo and is it an awesome traffic vehicle or a bust?

Looking forward to your comments!

Do You Have The Courage To Share Your Passion With The World?

"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen"~Winston Churchill~

Do you have something you are very passionate about and want to share with others but aren't sure how. You might have attended live seminars and admired the speakers and wished you could do that. You even might have listened to those negative thoughts that were telling you that you're not a speaker, that no one would come to listen to you, or that no one wants to spend money on seminars. Well YOU CAN share your passion with the world.YOU CAN be a speaker that people will come to listen to. In today's economy people are looking for leaders, inspiration, and solutions to their needs. YOU can be the one to provide it. All it takes is the courage to start and the right mindset.

What do I mean by that? Well, if you have the right mindset you can achieve anything. In order to be just like those SUCCESSFUL SPEAKERS that you listened to at the live seminars you've attended, you need the right mindset and knowledge of three things- Marketing,Logistics, and Content that will deliver value to your audience.

Well, listen to Winston Churchill and sit down and listen!
I want you to take just ten minutes to listen to a short video presentation that will give you the opportunity to be just like those inspiring speakers you've heard. Yes, you can learn to leave lasting impressions. I challenge you to have the courage to change your life now! Go to www.theseminarsecrets.com

An Attitude of Grattitude!

Each and every day we have the greatest opportunity!

That opportunity is to truly give grattitude for what we have, not what we are lacking in our lives. Years ago, I would wake up every day complaining about my life, my job, my family, my friends...you name it!

What did that accomplish?

More lack, scarcity, and problems than I can fill in twenty blog posts!

Then, I learned the single most important and life changing concept that I practice EVERY day...that being.....

An Attitude of Grattitude and Empowerment...Let me share something I wrote today:

"I woke up this morning, sat on the beach and reflected on Grattitude and every day being

Thanks-Giving Day...give thanks and empower someone to greatness today!"

Here's a neat little video that John and I shot as a form of our grattitude for all

Winning The Mindset Challenge For Your Seminar

How to use a "Winning" Mindset in Your Seminar Marketing

One of the greatest challenges we all face (yes, me too) is creating a "winning" mindset that allows our seminar marketing efforts to be highly successful. Why is mindset so important? I remember a phrase taught to me a number of years ago....

"Your thoughts drive your feelings which drive your actions,

and your actions drive your results"

So, in order to to achieve greater results, your thoughts need to be positive, inspiring, empowering, and aligned with your purpose and passion. Most entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants, and trainers recognize this and begin each day with empowering affirmations, visualization, and dynamic goal setting. This is often an area of struggle with people who are new to marketing live events. In many cases, it prevents them from moving forward

in the most key area of seminar success, marketing!

If you don't currently, I strongly suggest that you start right away.

As you begin your day, train yourself to do the following:

• Affirm to yourself and the Universe that your event will lead to greater empowerment of each participant
• Create a mental picture (visualization) of what the event will look like
• "Feel" the enormous joy that will come to you from the energy of the event

Now, go take your seminar marketing efforts to a new level!

It all starts with your "winning" mindset!

Why Some Never Attempt Live Seminars

Have you heard chatter lately that live seminars can't be successful nowadays? Well, that's probably coming from the same ones that think that nobody can make money in this recession.

Entreprenuers look at hard times as a means to be creative and find new opportunities. Let me tell you that people with positive attitudes, creativity, and perservance ARE INDEED making money today. Seminars are being conducted successfully nationwide even in today's economy.

The people who are not getting the cheeks in the seats just need to market differently.People that think seminars are too expensive to conduct, and that they don't have the funds and resources to make it happen just lack knowledge on how to negotiate, barter services, utilize volunteers, ect. Those who believe people can't afford seminars in this economy are also mistaken. Again it is a matter of defining a niche that your product or service can bring value to.
So you can see having the right attitude and the right knowlege is alwayscrucial and not just in a tough economy. Marketing is a very important pillar for successful live seminars.

Why Successful Live Seminars ?

What is the goal of any successful live seminar? Answer- To Leave a Lasting Impression

Remember the common ingredients in all successful seminars is that they create Enthusiasm, Excitement, and Energy!!!!!!! Your audience finally gets to see you live. They get to see the expert that you are. They get to see the genuine you. You get to ignite a whole room of your fans by sharing your life long passion and purpose with them. But most of all YOU get to Leave a Lasting Impression and that keeps them coming back again, and again, and again. Yes, there is no more exhilerating experience than being at a successful seminar.

Live Seminar Marketing Exchange

Live seminar marketing exchange? Why a live seminar marketing exchange? What is the purpose of that? There are many entreprenuers out there that have always wanted to do a successful live seminar but have no idea how to start. There are others who may have attempted to do live seminars but have had little success.

Let me tell you there is no better way to connect with your niche target market than thru a successful live seminar. It's your way to have a personal connection with a large group of people. Having had the priviledge of working for the largest seminar company in North America I've seen it happen over and over. It's an enthusiastic, energetic, exciting connection that you just can't duplicate any other way. In my opinion there is no better way to connect with your market.

Having a place on the web whereby you can get solutions to your seminar marketing questions will empower you to be successful. This is a place whereby entreprenuers can share their collective experience and knowledge to help others be successful in live seminars. Let's make this the most unique place on the web for the exchange of marketing ideas on successful live seminars. I welcome your contributions to making this a very valuable blog. Thank you.
