School of Podcasting's Morning Announcements

SpeakPipe is a new service currently in Beta that lets visitors to your site who have a microphone leave a comment in two clicks. You then receive an email (if you want) stating that you’ve got a message along with the name of the caller, and a direct link to the voicemail. It’s very cool. You create your account for free, and copy and paste a piece of code into the footer area of your WordPress theme (it also works with other systems). There are some screen shots at their site, or if you are a member of the School of Podcasting you can watch the video I created to show it off. Check out the service at www.speakpipe.com

Kevin Mulryne (who I tlaked about in a previous episode) of the Yes Music Podcast is talking to people at his job about starting a podcast for their business. Here are some things to keep in mind:

1. Audio podcasts can be listened to while doing other items.

2. You are seen as an aexpert.

3. You can build a community and solicit comments from your audience.

4. It costs much less than advertising on any other media, and you reach a global audience.

5. You can use a tool like Magic Members to restrict who can and can’t consume your content.

6. You can use podcasts as a customer service tool.

7. Don’t have any hard selling in your podcast. People don’t choose to watch commercials.
