Podcasting Secrets

Welcome to the new world of podcasting, where people can record their voices and speak their minds. So what is podcasting and how you can use it to increase the effectiveness of your site? First, a podcast is simply a recording of a speech given earlier, a user would have to create a podcast, and converts it into an audio format like MP3.
MP3 (MPEG Layer 3), which is simply an audio file type, there are many different audio file types out there, but now MP3sthe most widely used online and offline. When a person is an audio recording, simply convert them to MP3 format and upload them on their website. Visitors to this site can set the audio file (podcast downloading) and hear them start their own software such as Winamp or Windows Media Player. Some sites have built a function to control where it shows the players, so you do not need to download the podcast, you can simply listen to it immediately on the site.
If youthinking of creating a Podcast for your website, a great tool I use on the PC is “Audacity” This free tool enables you to hook up your headphones with a mic and begin recording your audio. It’s very simple to use and easy to apply. Once you finish recording, you can listen to the new recording and trim certain sections if you wish. Once you’re happy with the final recording, you can then save out the file to Mp3 format. Done!
When you have finished creating your podcast and Conversion to mp3, you can upload to your site for the world to enjoy. There are many good podcasts out there, are some of my favorites, and Steve Pavlina Yaro Starak.
