Podcasting 101
Podcasting, where did it come from? And where is it going?
Creating a Podcast
Creating a podcast is both simple and fun, and with a small amount of effort it can payoff for both yourself and your listeners. A podcast is simply a media file, which has uploaded to the Internet and is syndicated out to listeners, many of whom are hopefully subscribers, for playback on their PC's or MP3 players. The word podcast can also refer to the method by which the media files are syndicated out to listeners.
Podcasting as a Promotion Tool
Although it seems counter-productive to give away music for free, podcasting is an important and invaluable tool for artists to get out name, and sound, recognition. With a web audience ever hungry for music entertainment, reaching out to your niche audience has never been easier.
Podcasting – How To Make Money With Podcasts
According to the Diffusion Group, a consumer marketing research organization, the audience for podcasts is expected to grow to more than 50 million listeners by 2010. They estimate that three quarters of the people who own digital music players will be listening to podcasts. Apple seems to agree – they recently began adding podcast programs to its iTunes online store.
Where to Get Podcasts for Free
One of the reasons why podcasts became so insanely popular is the fact that many of them are available for free. You don't have to pay a single cent.
