Podcasts are great free tools that allow you to syndicate content for free over the internet.  Wikipedia defines a podcast as “a series of audio or video digital media files which is distributed over the Internet by syndicated download, through Web feeds, to portable media players and personal computers.” Although podcasting  has come to mean both audio and video files syndicated over the internet – video podcasting and its benefits are beyond the scope of this article. As we think about podcasting for business profits we need to keep in mind that this medium is a tool.  A great tool for you to build a relationship with your customers because audio programming is a very personable medium. When we listen to talk radio, for example, we perceive the host to be talking directly to us. Audio seems more like a conversation than a broadcast. This can be useful to businesses and organizations in building a “voice” of the company. A person who regularly records audio content can become part of a listener’s daily or

So exactly what is Twitter? Wikipedia describes Twitter as “a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users’ updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.” That’s a pretty good way to explain it. I think I would also add that it is more like a text based telephone than a micro-blog. Of course it is a telephone conversation that anyone can listen to. But I think this is the power of Twitter. And Twitter for business can be very powerful. Twitter gives you an opportunity to be transparent as a business allowing you to build a case for yourself or your company through dialogue. My experience with Twitter I thought Twitter was really stupid until I gave it a try. And then I still thought it was stupid. My problem was misunderstanding how it can be used as a tool for business and communications. But I’ve really changed my mind on this. And now Twitter has become indispensable to me and our business. The

Your business is in trouble. I mean it. You don't have a blog and your competition is passing you up. Or you have a blog but it hasn't been updated in months and it is starting to look like an abandoned old house on the edge of a bad neighborhood. Your problem? You need to begin to think past the 30 sec ad mentality. The foolish notion that you can create a 30 second TV spot or newspaper ad and gain a flood of new customers is dead. Yeah it still works. But that's like telling everyone at the turn of the last century that the horse and buggy still works. Only fools stuck with making horse and buggies in the face of the automobile and its rise to prominence. Blogging, podcasting, internet, online marketing? Same thing. So should you abandon all forms of traditional advertising? No way. I'm just suggesting that you think beyond the 30 second ad. Of course TV isn't going anywhere and newspapers will always be around in spite of those who would argue this point. Treating the web as a distribution or br
