Hi, it’s Saturday July 5th. and I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Today I’m continuing our series on Social Media online or the new Web 2.0 with an article on another Social Media trend, “Podcasting”.

This series of Articles dedicated to the Social Media Marketing movement online today is intended to lead us into an announcement which I’ve been talking about for the last 10 days or so about a new Social Media Marketing product which I will be launching over the next week or so.

I’m hoping to have a sneak preview for everyone on Monday, July 7th. after all the testing has been completed and it’s ready to go. I hope you’ll look forward to that. But without further delay here is our feature on Podcasting, another Social Media Marketing trend. I hope you enjoy it.

Podcasts are audio files published as RSS or Really Simple Syndication feeds, using XML file format technology to deliver MP3s to computers or portable music players. Podcasts are most often listened to on an MP3 player, but they can also be heard on a computer using media player software.

Podcasts are a little like TiVo, which allows television watchers to download only the programs they want to watch and to skip the advertising. However Podcasts are most often audio format but there are video Podcasts available as well.

Podcasts are automatically delivered directly to your personal computer, and can be transferred to your iPod or other MP3 player. They are often conversations, and include co-hosts and discussions or interviews.

Podcasts are downloadable audio programs and are a simple way to automatically get regular audio broadcasts which you can then listen to at your leisure from your computer or MP3 player.

Podcasts are available with RSS feeds that allow listeners to select files they wish to download or set software to automatically download new content when it’s available.

They are different in that most people will listen to a show from start to finish and are popular for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that they’re free.

Wikis, blogs and Podcasts are all relatively easy to use, which partly accounts for their popularity. Simply put, Podcasts are free downloadable audio in the form of a digital media file that you can subscribe to, via syndication feeds over the internet.

Though the marketing opportunities associated with Podcasts are obvious, how internet marketers, for example, can insert their ads into Podcasts isn’t so obvious and tracking actual listeners and viewers of these ads is even less obvious.

There are many Podcasts which are second-rate at best, and often you have to put up with the advertising and needless musical interruptions.

The two main advantages of Podcasts are their ease of use and the availability of many free or low-cost software and hosting options to run them. Also small business Podcasts are a great way to attract new customers.

And for those of us with little time to spare, Podcasts are one of the most valuable tools available for staying on top of trends in technology and keeping up with current events.

Some other advantages of Podcasts are their ability to be syndicated, subscribed to, and downloaded automatically when new content is added. Many Podcasts also allow users to direct download by giving a link to the audio file in an RSS feed or web page.

The number of people interested in Podcasting, or who have downloaded a Podcast, is increasing according to Nielsen Net Ratings. The estimate is 56 million by 2010. This provides a great marketing opportunity using Podcasts with the added bonus of their ease of distribution through RSS feeds.

In summary the very low cost associated with Podcasting combined with the distribution opportunities and the fact that it attracts search engine traffic makes Podcasting a very attractive target for internet marketers and social media marketers in general.

You know what it’s like - you see a product that looks good and you buy it thinking it’s the answer to all your problems.

But it doesn’t work.

You first come onto the Internet and all you’re bombarded with is promotions and offers all telling you the same thing - making money from affiliate marketing is easy!

“If Making Money From Affiliate Marketing Is So Easy Why Isn’t Everyone Cashing In On It Like I Am?”

You see - I’ve been online since 1995. I have literally spent thousands and thousands of hours learning affiliate marketing and spending small fortunes on affiliate marketing products.

It’s been a long, lonely and painful journey but I’ve made it here to tell you the story!

You start off and everything looks rosy for you doesn’t it?

You hear about stories of riches over night and before you know it you have invested in some so-called solution that does nothing but empty your wallet and smash your dreams into even tinier pieces.

And this is the biggest pain of all.

The fact that you start blaming yourself. Like there’s something YOU could have done differently or something that YOU haven’t quite done right or correctly understood.

But that’s the point - it’s NOT YOUR FAULT. It’s not your fault at all..

“You Have Been Lied To - Affiliate Marketing Is NOT Easy UNLESS You Have a PROVEN, TIME-TESTED
System You Can Follow..”

If you’re anything like I was when I started out then you’ve tried different approaches, joined different programs and maybe made a little money (or not!) and you’re starting to feel FRUSTRATED, CONFUSED, LOST and ANGRY at the whole situation.

You are not alone. There are thousands of people out there who just desperately want to make some money from affiliate marketing but have found it impossible to do up until now..

..so why has it been so difficult for you to make money as an affiliate?

You have not been told the full story.

This is an all-time classic and I hear about it all the time. You buy a course or program and it leaves out some key element. Don’t you just HATE that?!

You start getting into the course and you think “this is pretty good” and then all of sudden something comes up where you are ASSUMED to have already made a giant leap that you don’t know how to do.

You feel ripped off and alone.

This is a feeling you know just as well as I do. In the 13 plus years that I’ve been online learning all this stuff I have been ripped off, let down and burned more times than I care to remember but you know what?

After all this pain and loss I have made it this far and I now know why this is. To share my message and my knowledge with you.

You see - I want to finally LEVEL THE PLAYING field and make it possible for you to make the money online that you truly deserve.

You DO deserve to make the money you want online. I know I felt that way when I first started out and now I make 5-figures and 6-figures PER MONTH and you can do this too.

You know by now that I’ve been around the affiliate marketing block a few times and it’s taken me years of painfully slow progress and costly trial and error to get to a position where I am now making literally millions of dollars online.
