Broadcast messages to your podcasts.

Broadcast Advertising Articles No Comments »

What exactly do you use the Internet for? It is as a means of retrieving information? Do you have to visit several different websites to gather together the facts you are looking for? If the answer to these questions is yes, how would you feel if the data required came to you without the necessity of you spending hours on end surfing the net?

You will be pleased to know that with podcasting this is now possible!

So, what exactly is a podcast? If you think of the word “broadcast“, what springs to mind? Could it be a picture of some description? Do you envisage someone listening to the news bulletin on the radio? You may see spectators watching the game on TV or a PC on a network putting out packets for all other networks to receive? We can work out from this that broadcasting is a means of sending out information to a specific audience. Such audiences will be able to accept and decipher the signals being sent out as long as they have the right equipment to do so.

Podcasting works in a similar way by sending out digital and machine readable files to subscribers from a server. Although this is a type of file-sharing over the Internet just like streaming or direct downloading, podcasting is unique because it is being subscribed to, it is syndicated and new data is automatically downloaded as it is added. To enable this to happen a feed reader or aggregator such as Atom or RSS is used. Subscribers have software known as a podcatching client, which makes full use of the features of the syndication of the podcast. Apple’s iTunes, Microsoft’s Zune Marketplace, Juice, and Podget are all examples of such podcatching clients.

Episodes or programs received from podcasters can be played on a computer or transferred to an iPod or some other form of portable media player. If you think about it the word “podcast” is a mix of two other words, namely “iPod” and “broadcast“. As you may already be aware, the iPod is the first portable piece of equipment in which the podcasting applications were developed.

At the beginning podcasting was used to send radio-style shows but it has now progressed to podcasters becoming DJs and stars of their own radio and TV shows. People now have the opportunity to showcase just what they can do by reaching their audiences in this inexpensive way. Podcasting is the method that well known companies, like NPR and CNN, give out their contents to end users by and it is also used to distribute school lessons, conference meeting alerts and updates and even the police employ this method to keep the public up to date on safety issues.

Although podcasting does involve the sharing of media files, it also proves to have so many other uses such as providing software updates and product assessment programs and it is sure to drastically change the way in which the Internet is used over the years to come.

Advertising is easy for beginners.

Broadcast Advertising Articles No Comments »

Yes that is right I said Easy Advertising Strategies for the Beginner, of course their is the old reliable paid advertising on Google, Yahoo, MSN and many others. All of these of course cost money of various amounts and not always cheap, a lot of people seem to have the theory that the higher you are ranked on the search engines the more traffic you will have to your site. This is a nice neat theory but it is not always true being ranked higher may help or it may not, what I am saying is if you spend a bunch of money to get ranked high on the search engines and do not make a sale was the money really well spent?

Getting your site ranked high on the search engines does not make sales advertising your products makes sales, use your Auto responder and launch an Email Marketing Campaign. Say you have a free E Book on your site use that in your Campaign, send a broadcast to your list to go to your site and download their free copy of build a better mouse trap or whatever. Two days later send another broadcast offering them something else, most people do not buy anything on their first visit to any site if you keep sending them to your site for this or that sooner or later they will get curious and look a little deeper. join every Forum you can find not only can you find Excellent advice but you can put your url’s in your signature this not only helps them get noticed by search engines, it also gives you the opportunity to advertise your site to everyone else on that particular forum.

Write articles and submit them to as many places as you can find including those afore mentioned forums this is another good solid form of advertising and it is Free besides. Another way is to share links with other sites, this not only helps you but the other web master as well. There are also many free advertising sites such as Traffic Swarm and Instant Buzz, you can join for free and earn points by clicking links and they will add your ad’s onto their tool bar to be veiwed by all members world wide.

Also another way to advertise is to create a landing page with its own url that will build your opt in list and redirect them to your site. I use Imedia marketing tools. com This also can be done with your Auto Responder and all that you have to do is write the messages that are sent and they will take care of the rest. if you do not have an auto responder I suggest that you get one, there are several available I use get response. com.

There are also services on line that will help you to launch Email campaigns with business style Newsletter Templates these are also quite effective as an advertising approach, one Company would be Constant Contact. com another is Sales Geinious. com. A lot of these places have a period of time usually fifteen to thirty days some are longer where you can” test drive” the service for free, granted the amount that they will let you do with the test drive is sometimes limited but not always.

Just always keep in mind no spamming this will cause you far more trouble than it is worth can get you permanently removed from some services and can become really expensive on you as well, I hope that this has helped you in some way I will be doing another article on this subject shortly with more information have a great night and a successful Life.

BBC Radio 5 Major.

Broadcast Advertising Articles No Comments »

We are very lucky in the UK in that we have lots of radio stations to listen to. The advent of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) has meant that a lot more can be catered for.

In an average week probably around 55% of all listening time will be to BBC stations. There has been a gradual decrease in that percentage over the years.

The most listened to programme on radio at present is BBC RADIO 2. This station was set up to replace the Light Programme. As its original name suggests, it mainly produces a range of middle of the road, light music suitable for a more mature audience. It has had a number of long running presenters such as Terry Wogan, Jimmy Young and Diddy David Hamilton. One of the most popular long running programmes has been Brian Matthews’ Sounds Of The Sixties on a Saturday morning.

Radio 1 is the station aimed mainly at the younger generation and plays all the up to date popular (pop) music and chart hits. It was launched as a new station in 1967 to counteract the vast number of pirate stations that were starting to broadcast offshore from ships. The first show was presented by Tony Blackburn who had come from pirate radio. He was the first of many names who learnt their trade with the off shore stations and became known to most of the UK population for many years.

Radio 4 is mostly a speech station for news, arts and topical events and plays very little music. It is really the flagship station of the BBC and is actually designated as the station to tune in to in case of a national emergency. It has a lot of long running programs such as Woman’s Hour, Desert Island Discs and The Archers. There are a number of factual and information programs such as The Shipping Forecast which warns vessels around our shores of the weather conditions. Originally it was called the Home Service.

BBC 5 Live brings a wide mixture of sports, news and phone-ins to the airwaves. It has a live commentary on most of the major sporting events with lots of football matches being covered. It has changed emphasis over the years from more of a current affairs channel to a sports channel. The first voice heard was that of Jane Garvey who went on to form, with Peter Allen, a multi award winning combination.

The most specialist and least listened to of the mainstream BBC Radio programmes is Radio 3 which was a rename of the Third Programme in the 1967 shake up. It broadcasts mostly classical and operatic music. All applications will be sent to the BBC Proms in favor of this band and the BBC singers.

Has announced that five of the overall BBC in Britain.

Stupid mistakes.

Broadcast Advertising Articles No Comments »

Everybody makes mistakes, isn’t it? And some great scholars and philosophers even justify saying that mistakes are a stride towards achieving success. Like Albert Einstein himself says that, “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new”. Well said, isn’t it? So, does that mean we forgive and forget the string of accusations that our not-so-respected Minister Mr. Kalmadi and his troupe face today? After all even Mr. Kalmadi along with his working team who form an important part of the Common Wealth Games (CWG) Organising Committee was managing it for the first time. And why only the Organising Committee (OC), India herself is playing host to the CWG 2010 for the first time…so should we be forgiving these first-timers huh!

Well, Well, Well…I wish we could! Provided these first-timers slipped-up in areas related to the actual operations or preparations of the games, it was pardonable. But goofing up with tax payer’s money and doctoring the balance sheets of the games itself, is something not only unpardonable but should also be sternly punished. In fact, the guilty of the CGW corruption episode should suffer the same fate like the entrepreneurs of global corporate scams such as the Enron and Satyam. These corporate fraudsters are probably doing the jailhouse rock in return for the scams they planted in their respective organizations. But when it comes to uprooting corruption from the government, we take it lying down with a “chalta-hain” (its okay) attitude. I wonder how long will we as citizens, who are the actual landlords of this country, allow our servants to take us for granted. Shouldn’t we put our foot down and demand a quick fix and unearthing of corrupt officials in our public administration.

A paisa-vasool

Before we go to watch a movie, we read film reviews, ratings, and get a lowdown of the success of the film from the public, to make sure that we get a “paisa-vasool” (return on investment) from that film. Likewise, when we invest in our government and the working of this country, we also expect a paisa-vasool. So, do we really get a 100% return on our investment is the question we need to ask ourselves.

We have a fantastic democracy in this country which is our biggest asset, but to step up honest functioning of this democracy, we need transparency, we need good quality of work, we need cleansing of the law makers and administrators who misuse their power for their own benefit, we need education for all, we need to see that every family has a bread-whiner, we need equality irrespective of sex, religion, caste, we need a clean and safe environment to live in.

“All lives to have equal value”

This is the ambitious vision statement of the Bill and Melinda Foundation, a company started by the brainchild of Microsoft Corporation, Bill Gates, who started off this global charity with his wife Melinda Gates, with an aim to achieve their vision of, “All lives to have equal value”.

What a beautiful thought, isn’t it? And honestly it is a thought which is complimented by loads of actions by this foundation on behalf of the world’s poorest people, to improve the human condition. When Bill Gates came down to India to contribute to his global mission, he wished to fund to improve the poor health conditions of Northern India. At that time, he met up with Rahul Gandhi, the young generation leader of the youth Congress, who very frankly and honestly told Bill Gates that, “right now a lot of the money is not getting to the intended recipients and that it won’t be easy to fix”. Undeniably, corruption is the biggest battle that India is facing today and until we don’t cleanse our administrative and legislative system, it will spread out like cancer and will become irreversible to get it back on track.

On a hopeful note

There’s no doubt about the dishonestly of most of our ministers who get involved in malpractices and corruption to earn bread, butter, jam, cheese, and toppings, in addition to their monthly salary. But hopefully, with the recent whopping 300% raise in their salary, scams and frauds which have become a prevalent habit gets abolished completely and we see more transparency in the proceedings of our administration.

GoTV for advertising in 2010.

Broadcast Advertising Articles No Comments »

With the primary season ending and Campaign 2010 about to kick off after labor day, campaigns will have to make some important advertising decisions. We are currently in the great recession, donations are down, especially for state and local races. Campaigns must budget and have an efficient GOTV method.

There are many types of advertising campaigns use, a few include direct mail, voice broadcasting, predictive dialing, and automated polling. I was out of a town for a few days, when I came home and looked at my mail, I had about 20 pieces of mail from the different candidates (we are having a primary in Florida in the next few weeks) I felt overwhelmed looking at all the mail, I was thinking about the cost. The candidates are paying 50 cents to $1 for that mail, that price includes postage, mailing, the list, plus the direct mail providers fees and profits.

Voice Broadcasting, Robo Calling and predictive dialing, can reach the same voter for a fraction of the cost. The candidate can send a 30-60 second message including the data for under 5 cents per call. Someone running for county commissioner, school board, state house or senate, can dial there entire district for less then $2000, to send a direct mail piece to the entire district, the cost could be $5000-$30000.

Congressional, federal candidates, and 527 groups can save hundreds of thousands of dollars moving away from direct mail and using the robo calling and predictive dialing methods. Many candidates are using the robo call model with success.

There are advantages and disadvantages with both methods and the key to voice broadcasting is finding a competent provider, who has available phones lines, access to good data and is offering a fair price. The data is always the key, the goal is never to waste advertising dollars on unqualified names.
