How to Effectively Use Audio in Online Marketing

Site – PG Job Pro-job search website template.

Here’s another way to add a little spunk to your website: Audio. Effectively using audio in online marketing could be quite a challenge but if done properly, this can give your website an edge over your competitors. Audio, particularly music has a hypnotic effect on us. Have you ever thought of those times you are eating and a fast paced song is playing over the radio and before you know it you finished your meal in no time? Same with shopping. Malls and department stores also employ the same strategy to induce impulsive purchases to their customers. Well, let’s not go into the details of that one, instead I will site specific examples on how to effectively use it in internet marketing.

In your website, you can have an audio file to welcome visitors. This is both intimate and personal. You can connect with your audience and at the same time give them a feel like you the website owner, is giving them a personal tour. You can also use this in your navigational system, leading them specifically to where you want them to go. Include a one liner saying something about yourself, an introduction to your internet business and the reason for its being. Be subtle if you’re thinking of adding your sales pitch or else you will leave a bitter after taste to your audience.

You can also use background music while browsing through your website. Include and optional button to either have the background music or not. Your visitors could be in a library or simply want to browse through your homepage quietly. Audio is an excellent medium to give out free online tutorials about certain topics in your niche. You can trade these tutorials with email addresses or subscription to your newsletters. Clips of interviews or testimonials of well known people can help in online product promotion and can give exposure and credibility to your homepage. Certain ‘How to’ tutorials are also helpful since people can just download it and store them as MP3 files and play it later at their convenience.

Aside from this they can also share it to friends and colleagues, thus giving your website added exposure. Making audio materials to market is very cheap. You don’t need to shell out huge amounts of money to create them. You will only need a quite room and a microphone to record your print copy. The transcribed copies can also be printed and you can also use these as added marketing collateral to your products. Embed these files in your website either for them to click on and listen right there and then or for quick and easy download. Having audio in marketing your business is cheap, user friendly and interactive.

This will allow you to communicate intimately and directly to your customers. You appeal on a personal level. It’s an excellent tool to include in your online marketing plan.

7 Ways to Use AUDIO to Increase Your Web and E-mail Sales

days site -PG Job Pro-job board script.

Thought about adding audio to your Web site yet? You should. While great copy does a good job of selling your services and products, audio will amplify the effect of your words.

Audio gives you a more personal connection with your Web visitors. Social psychologists tell us that humans are more likely to trust you if they can both see you and hear you. And prospects are more likely to buy from those whom they feel they know, like, and trust.

So let’s think about how you can build that instant rapport with your prospects.

What Could YOU Do With Audio?

There are unlimited possibilities of what can be done with audio on Web sites and in e-mail, but here are seven simple ideas to get you started.

1. Greet Your Homepage Visitors.Welcome first-time visitors to your Web site with your own voice. It’s a much warmer welcome than text alone.

2. Create a Series of Audio Lessons.Audio learning is hot! Teach your audience via your voice instead of just words on the page. Think about developing a series of mini-audio lessons for your prospects.

3. Share Your Interviews.If you don’t have an interview clip already, ask a friend or colleague to conduct a short, dynamic interview with you via phone. Record it and post it at your Web site. Or, do a series of interviews with other experts in your field and post them at your site to be listened to.

4. Samples of Teleseminars.Want more signups for your free and/or paid teleseminars? Then start recording them. Pull out the highlights and post free clips of them at your Web site.

5. Pump Up Your Testimonials.You probably already have customer testimonials on your site. Now amplify their impact with audio. Have your customers record their testimonials in their own voices, and post them on your site along with their names and photos.

6. Make Your E-mails and E-zines Talk.Liven up your e-mails by making them talk to your prospects, subscribers, and customers. The members on your lists will feel like you are right there with them. (And remember, it will be that personal connection that encourages people to hire you or buy your products.) Be the first in your industry to do this, and watch your numbers rise!

7. Audio Postcards.Reach out to your best customers and prospects for holidays, birthdays, or other special occasions by sending them an e-mail “postcard” accompanied with a personally recorded message.

So What’s the EASIEST Way to Post Audio?

In the past, adding audio to your site wasn’t that easy. You had to either spend hours learning how to do it yourself, or pay someone else to record it and host it for you. That’s why I was never interested in audio before. I may be the E-zine Queen, but no way am I a techie queen. In fact, my VCR still blinks “12:00 … 12:00 … 12:00.”

Here’s the good news: There’s a brand new program that makes recording and posting audio ridiculously easy. It’s called Audio Generator and was created by Armand Morin, the same guy who created PopUp Generator and a slew of other innovative “Generator” products. I signed up immediately after he debuted this at the System 3 Seminar in Ohio a few weeks ago.

Here’s an example of how easy Audio Generator is: Say you want to add an audio greeting to your site this afternoon. Just call Audio Generator’s toll-free hot line and record your message. Then, as soon as you hang up the phone, go log into their site. Ta da … your message is ready and waiting, with a line of HTML code for you to copy and paste on your home page.

That’s it!

Even better, you can do this an unlimited number of times and have unlimited clips on your site (or multiple sites). You can also upload digital audio files up to 30 minutes in length, which I’m going to do for samples of my teleclasses.

Click here, and see (and hear) The E-zine Queen’s own audio testimonial at the Audio Generator site.

Remember, It’s That Personal Connection That Matters

Take some time today to think about what YOU could do with audio at your site and in your e-mails to increase rapport with your visitors. Then choose at least one tactic to implement this month. It could be the best addition you’ve made to your online marketing efforts this year.

Why You Should Use Flash For Your Web Audio

Site – e LMS Pro is high-quality learning management system and elearning solution.

There are a number of different ways to add audio to your web site. Some can be a bit hit and miss and others can work out just plain expensive.

So what is a quick and easy way to add audio to your web site without breaking the bank?

You have probably guessed from the title of this article but I would like to show you why by giving you all of the options.

The cheapest and easiest way to add audio to your web site is to simply upload an mp3 file to your web site and create a link to it on your web page, job done! Well not quite, there are pros and cons to this method. If you want your visitors to be able to download your mp3 so they can listen to it at a later date on their computer or iPod, (this is called pod casting) the link method is perfect. Simply instruct your visitors to right click on the link and select “save target as” (or “save link as” in Firefox).

If you want your visitors to be able to play your audio file immediately online then there are a few problems. If the link is clicked on a number of things could happen depending on which plug-ins are installed. If iTunes or QuickTime is installed the mp3 will download and play in a new browser window. Otherwise the mp3 could play in Windows Media Player, Real Player or another application like WinAmp or maybe not play at all.

Another method of adding audio to your web page would be to embed the audio into the page. With a bit of html code, instead of the player opening in a separate window it will appear on your web page. This also depends on which plug-ins are installed so it may play in a variety of players or not play at all!

There are other options like using a dedicated server or proprietary software but these can be expensive and your visitors would probably need to download extra software before they could play your audio. These options can work out very expensive and should only be considered if you are going to have very large volumes of downloads.

So, let’s consider Flash Audio. The Flash plug-in is estimated to be on 98% of computers on the Internet. You can create audio buttons to fit on your web page in whatever position you want and in your colour scheme. Flash uses mp3 audio which will stream over any connection. So will flash audio you are in complete control. The only problem is that would need to buy and learn Macromedia Flash or pay someone else to do it. That is until recently when a number of cheap and easy to use software packages have come onto the market which enables anyone who can cut and paste, to add Flash streaming audio to their web site. Most of these programs have been listed and reviewed at www.websiteaudioreviews.com

So now any one can create professional and reliable audio buttons on their web site.

Website Streaming Audio Uses

the site of the day – e LMS Pro – complete learning software package.

Streaming audio is becoming more and more common with successful websites that are able to draw a considerable amount of visitors and most importantly, retain them in the long term. With streaming audio, you are literally providing the visitor an option to consume or use the content through their choice. Today’s world and the market that we each and everybody are a part of is all about choices. Your use of streaming audio is only limited to your imagination and in case you are a little short of ideas or needs some brainstorming to start anew, then have a look at some scenarios where you can employ streaming audio for your benefit.

1. Personal Introduction – You have a personal website or a blog where you want to introduce yourself which includes but not limited to your name, where you live, what you do and what all are you interested in. Is it wonderful when you can speak a little bit about yourself and the whole world can listen to it ? . It also facilitates a direct interaction between you and the visitor whom you do not want to lose. You might be thinking that a video is more appropriate, well, you need to sit in a good background with proper lighting, well groomed and dressed and also add along with this the effort towards a well edited clip. You can record an audio introduction about yourself even in your underwear and nobody is going to know it unless you boast it.

2. Give an Interview – You have in course of time, became an expert in your field which each and every one should be looking at, and you are requested to give an interview. You can give a written transcript of the interview BUT there is an enormous amount of authenticity if visitors can listen you speaking out on their favorite topic.

3. Welcome new visitors to your site – Nothing can be as impressive, inspiring, unforgotten and confidence boosting as a welcoming streaming audio message that you can put on your site for new visitors. You can simply put a “Thanks for visiting www.yoursite.com” in text but imagine the difference that makes when you see a “Thank you” message pasted on to the door of a store and when the store owner comes to you and thank personally for coming to his store. An audio message can be the difference between a one time and a loyal visitor.

4. Customer/Fan testimonials – Many a time, you would want to sell products like software or e-books which is how most monetize their sites. A customer testimonial is an indispensable, inseparable, inevitable yet the most forgotten part of a sales copy. Consumers throughout history have relied upon the recommendations and reviews of others while arriving at decisions and when they hear a voice form a real human who says that the product is good or effective or does what it claims to be, then it subjectively assures him and provides the confidence to buy the product.

Web Audio is Powerful

The site of the day – PG Real Estate solution – online real estate software.

The average visitor to your web site is using a computer with audio capabilities. It’s easy to take advantage of this capability by using recently introduced techniques. Now you can use audio to ad impact to your message and make bonds stronger with your visitors. Years ago web audio was basically a frill consisting of musical fanfares or sound effects. You can use audio to engage more of your prospect’s senses. Communicate with sound, instead of visitors just reading your message and looking at your picture. A recording of a client explaining their satisfaction with your product in their own words is the next best thing to a face-to-face referral. If you include a photograph of the individual speaking the testimonial, it’s far more powerful that written testimonials.

Gain impact when you deliver “your satisfaction guaranteed” to them in your own voice. Keep your messages as concise and short as possible. Invite visitors to “click here” and listen to your voice. Playback longer events with streaming audio.

Allow your visitors to maintain control. Some experts suggest not to just begin playing your message at the beginning, when your page loads. Others have the message play as soon as the page loads. It’s a toss up as to what technique to use.

You may decide to play the message in the beginning or you may like to suggest to visitors that they can hear your message upon clicking. I’ve seen the same results from both methods. It’s up to you. I remember when audio was futuristic. Internet audio is now here to stay. Actually Video has taken over where by you have not only sound but moving pictures. You can set yourself apart from your competition with sound. It’s all about adding more for the visitor’s senses.

These are quick things that you can immediately do. I explain more technical things in my other writings. Glen P John invites you to witness a new Automatic Money Making System

The site of the day – PG Job Pro-recruitment website software.

Do you have streaming-audio or music files in MP3 formats you like your visitors to listen, with a skinnable music player with can integrate nicely your website?

Experienced webmasters always know that a well-placed audio or music clip can increase sales and leads to their products and services.

There are many methods you can use for adding streaming audio and music to your website or blog site. One of the simplest and most effective ways is by using a flash music player, or mp3 player software.

Flash Music Player, or MP3 player software are often an easy to use software that allows you to add two or more mp3 audio files to a skinnable website jukebox player. This is so easy that even a beginner can do it, with no any programming or script knowledge required.

The software will display the music files you like to broadcast on your website in a play list (or a hidden play list), and then stream those files automatically for playing on your website. The advantage of audio-streaming is that your visitors can listen to the audio or music while the file is getting downloaded, without having to wait until the entire song is downloaded. If you have music files in WAV, MIDI file format, you should convert them into MP3 file format first for best streaming.

You can usually choose between a variety of flash music player templates, which can be anything from a simple button, an audio bar, to a full featured MP3 music jukebox with forward, backward, skip, play pause functions. By using a flash music player software, you can add MP3 to your website with automatic playlists and play an entire folder of MP3 files, without any flash coding or scripting.

If you do not have your own hosting account yet, it is highly recommended that you setup your own domain name and a paid hosting account with sufficient bandwidth. Many free web host providers offers limited storage space for users’ files. Once you upload your music files, you may find that you’re running out of room on your account very quickly.

How to Add Streaming Audio to Blog?

The site of the day – Real estate web site design and templates demo version.

According to Verisign, the global registrar for all websites ending with .com, there are around 180 million domains registered all over the world as on April of 2009. Whether all of them are active and alive with relevant content cannot be neither confirmed or denied and it is fairly safe to assume that a considerable portion of these are either parked, forwarded or just kept in safe custody by companies to avoid abuse of their reputed brands as well as hard earned goodwill. Out of this, around 70 million are blogs which to some extent, can be considered as alive if not updated on regular basis. So if you are the proud owner of a blog like me, then we are two among this 70 million or proverbially, two drops in an ocean.

Some blog for fun, some to scam, companies blog to spread brand awareness, some want to showcase their talent and others to make a living. Whatever may the purpose be, your blog should have to stand out from the crowd in delivering the content. Adding streaming audio to your blog is one way you can deliver content differently. By virtue of their dynamic nature, blogs are very good at getting indexed faster by search engines rather than their static counterparts. There is a lot of software out in the internet that claims to stream audio but, a few of them are in fact, capable of doing it. Most software simply links to a remote audio file which is exactly NOT how streaming audio works.

Contrary to conventional perception, it is the process that undergoes in creating compressed encoded files that is difficult rather than embedding it to a specific part of your website. Making streaming audio practical and accessible to all users depends upon the underlying format/program. Audio files can be encoded in Java as well as flash with both of them having their own ups and downs. However, the crowd favorite seems to be flash based streaming audio by virtue of its availability in 94 percent of computers worldwide that are connected to the internet. The element of flexibility, interactivity through a vast selection of customizable players that can be branded to seamlessly blend with the websites that hosts them also tilts choice towards flash based streaming audio. The compressed encoded files are uploaded to your web hosting account via ftp and in the case of blogs, is referenced from there into the post or page where you want the audio player to appear. Some software will only let you to reference files from the same server whereas others allow you to reference files from anywhere over the internet. So before you buy the appropriate streaming audio software, do some math on not only your present requirements but about audio streaming applications that may arise in the near and foreseeable future.

Why Market Your Online Business With Audio?

Site – PG Job Pro-job portal website templates.

Let’s face it, keeping your marketing mix fresh can be a real challenge. You’ve done the article marketing thing. You’ve planned email marketing campaigns, promotions, joint ventures, linking, ebooks, advertising, giveaways, and maybe even direct mail. What’s left? What can you do to interact with your customers, engage and excite them, and encourage traffic and promotion? The answer? Audio marketing.

Here’s how audio can enhance your online business marketing plan.

Marketing with audio enables you to personally connect to your audience. Ever turn to the last page of a book to see what the author looks like? I do that all the time. What about visiting a web page and searching the about us page so you can learn a little bit about who runs the business? I do that too and I’d like to think I’m not just a voyeur and that I am like most people and I want to connect a little bit with the companies I shop from and interact with.

When you provide an audio on your file, you give visitors the opportunity to hear your voice and connect with you for a few seconds. You can use your audio file to say hello, to tell them a little bit about yourself and why you created your company or to jump right into a sales pitch and tell folks why your product or service will change their lives. When they hear it from you, they may be more likely to believe it.

One suggestion when you’re creating your audio file is to consider making listening to it optional. I only say this because many people surf online when they’re not really supposed to. Maybe their at work or at the library or even at home while they’re watching television and the last thing they want is to click on your site and have your voice, as wonderful as it is, break the silence. It’s a dead giveaway to their boss that they’re not working and it can be irritating if they’re surfing in a quiet location.

When you include an audio file on your business website, consider your visitors and maybe add a button they need to click on to listen to it. Another option is to test which works better, an audio that begins 30 seconds after they’ve arrived on your site or an audio they have to click on. That way you know you’re meeting your customer’s needs.

Another reason to use audio is that it is a fantastic medium to offer free products like an audio tutorial. A free MP3 is an excellent trade for an email address. Additionally, there are now many information based websites that offer tons of written content and also tons of audio tutorials. Visitors can click on the links to listen to the material and learn, they can download it to their computer to listen to later or they can transfer the audio file to their MP3 player and listen to it when they’re in the car. They can also share it with friends and increase the exposure of your company.

Audio tutorials are excellent however what about audio books, audio reports, recorded interviews, recorded workshops and more.

Audio is incredibly cost effective.

In fact, there are many tools on the web that make creating an audio file and embedding it on your website virtually cost free. Audio programs like Audacity, which is an open source program, enables you to record telephone interviews or conference calls and save them as MP3s. You’ll need a few tools like a simple converter but they generally cost less than $50.00.

Additionally, it only costs you to produce the file once but you’ll be using it hundreds, or maybe even thousands, of times. AND when you create an audio file in the form of a CD giveaway the production costs are extremely minimal. That being said, the majority of people prefer digital audio files which is more cost effective for you. One thing to consider when creating an audio file is that it needs to be quality. If people cannot hear you or understand you, or they’re hearing your dog barking in the background, then you’re going to lose credibility and the effect you’re going for.

One of the benefits of audio is that it is easy to convert print into audio. For example, let’s say you have a report that has done well as a content piece, transferring it into an audio file is as easy as speaking into a microphone.

When recording print copy, it is important to make sure you sound natural. A great way to do this is to read it aloud a few times to get the hang of the copy and then ad lib. Read the copy like you’re talking to a friend. Add contractions, pauses, and even a joke or two where appropriate. If you’re not comfortable with this task or the project just isn’t turning out how you want it to, consider hiring a voice to record the copy for you.

It is also really easy to take an audio file and transfer it into a print product. For example, you can interview an expert and market that audio, have it transcribed and sell the transcribed product or give it away as a separate promotion. Your only cost is the cost of transcription – about $15/hour.

Podcasts are growing by leaps and bounds, now you can easily reach your audience weekly via your voice, rather than via email Ezines. Podcasts are viral and can be shared and recommended by fans and they’re an excellent, cost effective way to communicate with your audience on a regular basis.

There are so many reasons to use audio to market your business. It’s cost effective, easy to use, interactive and it enables you to communicate directly with your customers on a more personal level. It’s a great tool. Include it in your marketing plan today!

Audio Streaming – How to Succeed

the site of the day – e LMS Pro – learning management system.

Background

Streaming multimedia is a form of multimedia, which itself is media that uses different forms of content. Combinations of text, audio, still images, animation, video, and interactivity content forms are typical modes of multimedia presentation.

The streaming variant is being sent, in a continuous flow, to the user of the content by the streaming provider. In this context, examples of the content stream include audio and video.

The streaming refers to the method of delivery of the content flow rather than to the nature of the content. Apart from telecommunications networks, most systems for delivering content are either streaming, such as radio and television, or non-streaming, such as audio CD’s, video cassettes, and books. The term ‘to stream’ means, quite simply, to deliver media in this particular manner.

History

The first attempts were made, in mid-20th century, to display media on computers. However, due to the high cost and very limited capabilities of computer hardware at that time, development did not proceed at any pace for many years.

By the 1990s, personal computers had become sufficiently powerful to display a variety of media forms. The main technical problems associated with streaming at that time were:

“Having sufficient CPU power”, which refers to the central processor, that can execute computer programmes, “and also bus bandwidth”, which is the capacity of the system to transfer data over a connection, “in order to support the required rates of data flow.”

“Creating low latency”, which allows delays too swift for human detection between an input being processed and the corresponding output providing real time characteristics, “interrupt paths in the OS”, or operating system, “to prevent buffer underrun”, which occurs when a buffer, which is a storage device used to compensate for a difference in rate of flow of data between devices used to communicate between two devices or processes, is fed with data at a lower speed than the data is being read from it.

However, computer networks had still not developed fully, and so media content was normally processed over non-streaming channels, such as CD ROM’s. Between the late 1990s and into the next century, there were significant advances in the internet, such as:

An increase in network bandwidth, especially in the last mile, which referred to the final leg of delivering connectivity from the communications provider to a customer.

Greater access to networks, especially the internet.

The application of standard protocols and formats, such as TCP/IP, HTTP, and HTML.

Significantly greater commercialisation of the Internet.

With the advent of powerful home computers and advanced operating systems, these advances in computer networking enabled streaming media to become a practical and affordable proposition for the nation at large.

Another advance was the introduction of stand-alone Internet radio devices, which are hardware devices that receive and play audio from internet radio stations or the user’s PC or other embedded media servers. For the first time, this provided listeners with the ability to listen to audio streams without the requirement of a PC.

In general, multimedia content is large, so media storage and transmission costs are still significant. In order to compensate for this, media is generally compressed, such as in a ZIP file format, which provides compression, and also acts as an archiver, storing many source files in a single destination output file, for both storage and streaming.

A media stream can be either on demand or live. In the case of on demand streams, the content is stored on a server for long periods of time, and is available for transmission on request. Live streams, on the other hand, are only available at one particular time, such as in a video stream of a live sporting event.
