Internet Marketing Resolutions

Tue, 8 Jan 2008 09:00:00 -0500

Starting a New Year is all about self-reflecting. Most individuals celebrate the incoming year by looking back, determining what goals were met and what goals fell short. Most who have made past resolutions then look forward and resolve to do better in the coming year.

Like any Internet marketer, I have a long laundry list of things that I intend to get to... invariably each year the list grows longer, and rarely do I make any significant headway on new projects, ideas, or marketing techniques. I resolve for that to change in 2008! I have compiled a list of Internet Marketing resolutions for the coming year. If your list is already too long, consider saving time and using the list below.

What is Hot and What is Not in Technology for 2008

Technology in 2008

Tue, 1 Jan 2008 09:00:00 -0500

The lens through which viewers receive their news has changed. The images of struggle are no longer frozen in time; technology has helped preserve and personalize these conflicts by producing moving tributes to the conflicts of humankind.

The strife and internal conflicts that marred the globe in 2006 continued into 2007: Mynamar (Burma), Palestine and Lebanon all continue to struggle with internal conflicts in their borders. The differences between 2006 and 2007 are not obvious; however, under close examination, it is evident that several external struggles have been transformed into internal conflicts. In 2006, many countries attempted to influence their neighbors. This was evident with Iran attempting to influence the turmoil in Iraq, and Syria attempting to control Lebanon. Both struggles have evolved into internal personal conflicts in 2007.

While video is not a new technology, the spread of video-viewing technology in devices like the iPod has brought the faces of terror into the homes of the western world. Advances in technology have also encouraged the West to open both their hearts and wallets, with many sponsoring children like Youseff, a child with a horribly scarred face. The same technology that brought Youssef's story to millions of homes, also helped bring tragedies like the Virginia Tech massacres.

In 2007, the heavy reliance on technology forced censorship and spying to the forefront of concerns. Many western countries accused the communist nation, China, of cyber snooping and hacking. Also, Russia did not remain unscathed in 2007, with widespread suspicion and accusations following the death of Alexander Litvinenko in late 2006. On a more positive note, North Korea seems to have complacently agreed to nuclear compliance.

Free Web Marketing Tips

The Influence of Technology on Politics
Americans have always had a say in their government, at least in theory. Since the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783, the United States of America has been the land of opportunity, where even a lowly log-splitter, exercising sufficient brains and dedication, can raise himself to the highest executive office.

The U.S. Constitution safeguards the right to vote for every citizen over eighteen years of age, with few exceptions, ensuring a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Nevertheless, only about half of eligible voters historically vote for their president. Those who do make it to the polls are more educated than unschooled, more white than black, more men than women, more wealthy than poor, and more old than young.

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 09:00:00 -0400

The staggering distribution numbers, through channels like iTunes, YouTube, or podcasting websites, indicate that technology could play a critical role in the upcoming elections. Technology could be the deciding factor in the 2008 US Presidential race, and while distribution has never before been as accessible as it is to today's politicians and political candidates, politicians have far less control over the news and media than their counterparts in previous years.

7 Day Software Highlights FeedForAll

Wed, 27 Jun 2007 09:00:00 -0400

In the modern world of 2007 fewer and fewer people are building the XML representation of an RSS feed by hand as most blogging and podcasting software now handles this function. However, if you're a software developer, want full control over your feed or you are doing something somewhat out-of-the-ordinary with RSS, as we do at Project Glidepath, you need the tool we use, FeedForAll, which creates, edits, uploads, downloads, and even error checks RSS data; a tremendous time saver.

Created by the folks at NotePage, Inc., a MicroISV based in Hannover, MA, FeedForAll, which is available for both Windows and Mac, is the ultimate tool for hand-rolling RSS feeds. It gracefully handles all of the date-stamp issues (which is a *big* deal), understands all the iTunes XML idiosyncrasies as well as includes a WYSIWYG HTML editor you can use to edit the description fields and even has built-in image editing functions.

Tue, 22 May 2007 09:00:00 -0400

Independent artists have long struggled to gain recognition and attract an audience. Without the backing of a major label it can be very difficult for independent artists to obtain radio play time, that is, until now. Podcasting a revolutionary new medium, has opened new distribution channels for independent artists. Podcasting is the process of distributing audio files using the RSS format and has become very popular with the younger generations.

With the use of technology, independent artists have a unique opportunity available, using technology they can significantly expand the exposure of their music.

RecordForAll Nominated for SIA Award

Tue, 15 May 2007 09:00:00 -0400

RecordForAll was nominated for the 2007 SIA Award for the Best Sound Program or Utility!

The Shareware Industry Awards were created as a way to honor the very best programs marketed using the "shareware" marketing model. In those early days it was often an up-hill battle, but the small software authors persevered. Over time, the number of companies using the "shareware" model has increased dramatically. Today nearly all software companies use the "shareware" marketing model whether they use the term or not. This fact stands as a tribute to the many pioneers who braved new ground in the name of "shareware." These pages are a testimony to where we've been, where we are, and just how far we've come. The Shareware Industry Awards are dedicated to excellence in software.

How to Conduct an Effective Podcast Interview

Tue, 1 May 2007 09:00:00 -0400

Conducting a successful podcast interview can be a tricky proposition for a podcaster starting out. Once you have determined individuals that will appeal to your target audience contact potential interviewees and arrange a time to conduct the interview. Following this guide will insure that the interview goes off without a hitch.

1. Prepare Questions in Advance
Prepare a list of questions prior to the interview, contemplate possible follow-up questions based on the expected responses. Create a list of notes along with the questions that are accessible during the interview and will help you direct the conversation.

2. Research Interview Subject
Do your homework about the individual or individuals you are interviewing. A little due diligence will go a long way. Search newsgroups and Google for the interviewees name, product, or company, and build a background. The research will help predict the interviewees responses to your questions. Listen to previous interviews in which the interviewee participated, read their blog and articles to get a feel for the interviewees position on issues.

More Reviews that Glow

Mon, 30 Apr 2007 09:00:00 -0400

Here is another great instructional FeedForAll review:

Once the MP3 file is ready, you will need to create or edit your RSS feed. Although you can create RSS feeds by hand (an excellent tutorial can be found at rss-specifications.com) there are several tools to automate this task. The most popular software for creating feeds currently is FeedForAll and can be found at feedforall.com.

Podcasters are Embracing FeedForAll for iTunes Tags

Mon, 30 Apr 2007 09:00:00 -0400

Another great mention:

I have got an excellent tool to help you both manage and promote your podcast called FeedForAll. With FeedForAll you can create, edit and publish RSS feeds. They’ve got both PC and Mac versions and it will even create RSS feeds that are compatible with iTunes. Now, this is software that you actually buy. You download it and you can try a demo for like 30 days I think.

RSSFilter

Mon, 23 Apr 2007 10:22:17 -0400

Small Business Computing and RSS

Mon, 23 Apr 2007 09:00:00 -0400

Small Business Computing put together a great review on how to use FeedForAll.

FeedforAll is a wizard-driven solution can walk you through creating a standard RSS feed, a standard podcast, or an iTunes podcast.

The most technical information you will need to get started: your Web site server address and FTP server type. If you have your own in-house server hosting your Web site, you can get that information easily from your Web software (or better, from your IT guy). But more than likely, you are using an outside service provider to host your site, so you’ll need to get that info from them.

Before you panic, or spend time on hold waiting for tech support, drill down into the Web-hosting details area in your account-management screen, and you should be able to find the server address assigned to your site. Just be aware that some low-cost hosting subscriptions don’t provide FTP support (which you need to upload your feed), so you may need to upgrade your hosting account.

In FeedforAll, the first step in the RSS creation wizard is to give your feed a title. If there is (or will be) a Web page that will also contain the information provided in the RSS feed, use the same name. Then, you’ll be asked to fill in a description. This is a short summary that aptly describes the contents of the feed. You’ll also enter the link to the feed; that is, the Web page URL from which the RSS feed originates.

Where to Locate Podsafe Music

Tue, 17 Apr 2007 09:00:00 -0400

Nothing really polishes a podcast more than background music or theme music. In the music world, these music segments are referred to as intros and extros. While many enjoy streaming Internet Audio and recording songs they like over the Internet, these songs cannot legally be used in a podcast.

PodSafe Music
Podsafe music refers to music specifically for podcasters. The music is licensed in such a way that podcasters can purchase a license to include the music in a podcast without incurring additional fees or expenses. In order to use traditional music that is heard on the radio in a podcast, podcasters may have to pay royalties for each time the song is played. Some music files licensed under public domain or creative commons are exempt from royalties and these songs are available for use in a podcast, but generally when searching for music to include in a podcast it is probably best to stick with music that is specifically designated as "podsafe".

Monetizing Podcasts

Tue, 20 Mar 2007 09:00:00 -0500

Podcasts started out as fun ways for ambitious garage DJs, independent musicians and talk show hosts, who had not ventured into radio broadcasting as a way to show their stuff and make a name for themselves. What started as a hobby for many, has turned into a lucrative profession for some.

Not surprisingly, podcasters, just like radio stations, have looked for ways to profit from their on-air dialogue.

Podcast Audio Recording Tips

Tue, 27 Feb 2007 09:00:00 -0500

When you are producing a podcast on a regular basis it is important that you select an appropriate location for the recording to take place. The location should be free of external distractions and relatively quiet. It is easiest if you use the same location each time, that way the equipment can remain in place and will not require moving or setup each time you produce a show.

The room should have a carpet or furniture that will absorb echoes and dampen the sound. The room should also have a door, so that you will not have unexpected interruptions. Reduce extraneous noise by turning off fans or any equipment. Consider hanging a note on the door, so that you will not be disturbed while recording.

Recording Away from Home
When taking your podcast on the road it is equally important that the quality of the podcast is not compromised for the sake of portability. Consider using a directional microphone or finding a quiet alcove for interviews when on the road.

What RSS Is Not; RSS Does Not Equal Email
RSS is not email, nor is it designed to be a replacement for email. RSS is a supplemental communication channel that can be used to deliver content.

Webmaster Tips

Thu, 9 Nov 2006 09:00:00 -0500

According to Matt Cutts, there are over 100 factors that affect search engine ranking. For those of you who don't know, Matt is a Google guy guru, he is employed by Google but writes an independent blog and shares information related to Google and search engine optimization. Unfortunately, of those 100 items that account for search engine ranking, there are only a few that webmasters can actually control.

Unless you are a interested in an exercise of futility, it is important to only focus on those ranking factors that you, as a webmaster, can control and influence.

Kudos for FeedForAll

This was posted on a customers blog:

For those of us who know enough to be dangerous, but probably should not be writing our own code, Feed for All comes to the rescue to write your RSS Feeds.

An RSS feed is an index of your website, your blog, or in my case: a video podcast. To post your podcasts to iTunes, you must supply an RSS feed in a certain format for the iTunes store to list your podcast properly. When you post new content to your site, the RSS feed must be updated. For most blogs, this is done automatically. For iTunes, one must do it manually.
