Podcasts

We listened to the best radio microphones in the world and picked the best two podcasting microphones on the market. Includes audio clips.

When I heard one of my favorite highly-successful Internet Marketing guys, James Schramko, mention in the course Traffic Grab (which I highly recommend) that podcasts are very real source of traffic for him… and one that’s growing.. I initially poo-poo’d on the idea.

My Top 7 Tips to Podcasting Success
Whilst there are never any guarantees, and many podcasters never get past episode seven, here’s what I think you could do to open up another successful source of lead generation for your business:

Tip #1: Define the niche for your show with your title

E.g.

The Improve Your Golf Swing Podcast
French in 5 Minutes a Day
Beat the Tax Man Podcast
These in turn could generate leads for a golf coach, language teacher or accountant selling a range of products and services such as: consulting, coaching, and digital training products, etc

Tip #2: Keep your show under 20 minutes
