Podcasting For Profit

Podcasting is one of the hottest technology and marketing buzzwords today, and it has lept from total obscurity to media headlines in a span of less than 18 months! In it’s simplest definition, podcasting is the publishing of audio programming to be distributed by the internet and listened to at the listener’s discretion.

Here is a more comprehensive definition:

Podcasting is a method of publishing audio broadcasts via the internet, that allows users to subscribe to a regularly updated feed of new files. Podcasting is unlike most other online media because of its subscription model. Podcasting usually uses a feed (such as RSS) to deliver an enclosed file, although not all podcasts require subscription.

Podcast Formats Podcasting can take many formats, just like a TV or radio show. Here are some common formats:  interview one or several experts in the niche you serve

The interview show – interview one or several experts in the niche you serve

The call in show - People call in and you talk to them.

The monologue - You simply tell people your ideas but be fun and entertaining!

The dialogue - two or more people are discussing a topic

The quiz show - ask questions, pause for some music and then reveal the answer
