The Blogger’s Approach to Podcasting

Podcasts are becoming a great tool for online marketers who want to interact on a more in-depth level with their audience. It has also become a unique way to share new products, focus on particular topics of interest, and even generate revenue. While anyone from small retail outfits to online teachers can find podcasts beneficial, for bloggers it offers an effective two-way communication with the readers which can prove instrumental to their sites overall success.

Here are some things bloggers should know about podcasts:
– Podcasts are great for product discussions, question and answer sessions, guest speaker presentations, and even covering eBook topics.
– Learn the ins and outs of hardware, developing a theme and script, and which software to use by reading this comprehensive article What Do I Need To Do A Podcast? presented by Search Engine Journal and written by Albert Costill.
– Podcasts are a great combination of easy-to-follow video and real-world interaction.
– Make sure to have a plan for each podcast you present. This may include a list of topics to cover along with a time-limit for each bullet point.
– Always allow for interaction and questions at the end of every podcast. It gives your audience a chance to share their opinions while also being able to ask any questions they may have.

Once thought of as a passing fad, podcasting is quickly becoming a mainstay in many quality marketing strategies. If you are a blogger looking to jump into the ring, take time to learn the basics of podcasting first. Then run a few trials to learn the best practices for your unique blog and goals. The final frontier in podcasting is partnering with others to offer unique learning opportunities to larger audiences spanning across multiple platforms.

Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.

Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
