How to Be #1 on iTunes
As many of you will know, last week I stuck to my promise of launching a Podcast in the new year and released the first episode, How I Would Make Money Online If I Was Starting from Scratch. I had hoped that a lot of people would get some value from the recording and be able to start 2012 in style, but I did not anticipate what happened next. Within 24 hours the podcast made it to #1 in Marketing and #2 in Business on iTunes which totally blew me away – sandwiched in between 9 podcasts by the BBC and the Financial Times.

Microphone Techniques for Podcasters
These days, getting a podcast up and going is deceptively easy. So easy, in fact, that you might forget to work on a critical little thing called microphone technique. Audio professionals from singers to disc jockeys to voice-over specialists know that working the mic correctly can be the difference between getting all you can out of your voice or sounding like you are podcasting from inside a refrigerator in your parents basement.

Online Audio Tools for Journalists
First blogs, then Flickr, then YouTube, then Facebook, then Twitter, then Tumblr… If you were told there’s one more thing that you have to be using to survive in journalism, you’d be forgiven for lashing out. But that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
Audio is becoming a force in Internet content, well beyond music and radio streaming.

Mobile phones have become smart devices, they are more than just phones and alarm clocks. By the end of 2012, it will be hard to find a phone that does not run games, support Internet connections and have built in web browser.

Microphone for Podcasting and Engineering
Whether you are a gigging musician, podcasting enthusiast or a professional sound engineer, the second most important piece of kit to have in your arsenal of audio recording tools is at least one high-quality microphone. The most important thing to have, of course, is a pair of ears in good working condition.
There's no escaping the need for a computer at the heart of most audio-recording set-ups these days. A wide range of PC and Mac software is available, from audio-recording, editing, and mixing programs to software designed to emulate the sound of almost any musical instrument. To record a person talking or singing, however, you still require a microphone of some description.
PC headsets, integrated microphones on laptops and microphones that plug into the sound card of a desktop computer are generally designed for activities such as Skype calls and online gaming. If the application calls for a decent sound quality, such as recording a podcast or musical performance, you can expect much better results using a USB microphone.

Starting a Broadcasting Career
One way to start a communications and news career is to upload your original news video podcasts on the Web at a relatively low cost. At least you get to broadcast the news for no pay unless you sell advertising on your video podcast or vodcast. But it is one way to start a career in media and culture. Just specialize and form your brand with a niche interest audience if you have researched the need for what you are communicating as information.

You should not have to look far to find content or new ideas for your podcast show. Look to your daily sources to find fodder and ideas for new podcasting segments.

How to Create a Podcast That Rocks
1. Content—Begin by creating the content of your podcast.
When it comes to podcasts, the shorter the better. Most podcasts are only a few minutes long; however podcasts designed for small businesses usually last about 15 to 20 minutes. This is just long enough to give consumers some great information, but not so long that it will not fit into the average worker’s commute. When creating the actual content, you will want it to be informative, yet not boring. In addition, think of a company podcast like a radio show as opposed to a commercial. You |

iTunes Released in EU
Apple on Thursday launched the iTunes Store in the 12 European Union countries that had yet to gain access to it, ending an eight year wait for what has become the world's No. 1 music store.
Users can now download and purchase music through iTunes in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Apple added new localized online stores last week, including the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland.
Apple has yet to open an official online store in Cyprus, Malta and Slovenia, providing only a spartan webpage featuring support or where to buy information for the iPhone. However, the three countries are available as selections in the standalone iTunes application.
Previous reports had claimed that only 10 of the remaining 12 EU countries lacking access to the store would be brought into the fold. |
