PRINCETON, N.J., March 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Barely two years old, podcasting is becoming a popular marketing tool among businesses of all sizes, says StartupJournal.com, The Wall Street Journal's guide for entrepreneurs.
The technology, which requires a good microphone, a computer and podcasting software, allows small businesses to create a brief, daily radio show, or a "podcast" -- and anyone with access to the Web can listen. Podcasting allows entrepreneurs to get their name before a world-wide audience and potentially boost their revenue. The medium also can give potential customers a chance to sample your wares.
Unlike traditional advertisements, which accompany other pieces of entertainment, a podcast must offer listeners educational or entertainment value in itself -- or else they will simply click it off and download a more interesting program. Ideally, podcasts should be kept short-from five minutes to a half-hour. Writing a script beforehand is advisable to prevent awkward pauses and meandering.
StartupJournal.com offers these podcasting tips for small-business owners:
* Create a Web site of your own to build your brand, post your podcasts
and give your listeners a central location for information about your
company.
* Make sure your podcast has good sound quality.
* Keep podcasts educational, inspirational and entertaining -- and keep
yourself from selling too hard.
* Create an RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, feed, which automatically
sends listeners new versions of your podcast.
* Post this feed on podcast directories such as Yahoo's
podcasts.yahoo.com, podcast.net or iTunes, at apple.com/podcasting.
* Promote podcasts on your own Web site.
* Offer a way for listeners to provide feedback.
