My 1st Phone Interview – A Real Life Success Story

]]> http://themoneycult.com/2009/07/tips-for-making-your-first-podcast/feed/ 4 <p>At lot of internet marketing guru’s are masters of all the different ways to produce media.  So I have been writing, I have made a couple video’s so I figured I would try and do a couple podcast just to see what it would be like.  One of my favorites <a href="http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/" target="_blank">Yaro Starak</a> one of the best collections of free interviews and podcast about internet marketing and success stories available online.</p> <p>One of the 1st set of Podcast that I listened to was <a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/" target="_blank">Steve Pavlina</a> over a year ago.  Steve was a computer game coder that decided he was going to become a motivational speaker a couple years ago.  His podcasts are pretty good I suggest you also check these out.</p> <h3><strong>Some Tips</strong></h3> <ol> <li><strong>Just do it.</strong> Find something that records click record and do it.</li> <li>Listen back to yourself.  When listening figure out what you don’t and do like make note of it.  I know I tent to clear my throat and say ummmm or ahhh.  THIS IS BAD break that happen if you have one.</li> <li>Make sure it is quite and not windy if outside.  Elimate background noise.</li> <li>Plan with bullets or an outline, if you do this and you get lost for words you can quickly look at your notes look for the next topic you wanted to cover.</li> <li>Tell a Story.  People love stories, especially success stories.</li> </ol> <p>Now I went straight from the hip on my 1st one and I was actually painting my deck at the same time but wanted to just see what I sounded like and I was really impressed with the results.  I wasn’t even sure where to begin and you can see cause I talk about how crappy my podcast is cause I didn’t have a plan but I quickly pulled it together and got my some great thought out of my head.</p> <p>Now I have been listening to guru’s and other motivational speaks for a long time so maybe everything the have said came right back out of my month but now it is my version of the story.</p> <p>It will take a lot of energy to talk straight for more then 10 or 20 minutes so know that going in but you can hit pause or play but make sure you talk in some solid chunks of 8-20 minutes or it might be hard to piece together if need be.</p> <p>Learn from your mistakes, we all make mistakes, lets face it your 1st podcast is not going to be great but you might as well get that out of the way cause the just keep getting better from there.</p> <h3>My 1st podcast is available here</h3> <p> </p> <p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="324" height="157" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="flashVars" value="containerwidth=320&containerheight=258&content=http://content.screencast.com/users/TheMoneyCult/folders/PodCast/media/a0299a7c-34de-4bc4-987b-801d73aef01e/1stpodcast.m4v" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showall" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="base" value="http://content.screencast.com/users/TheMoneyCult/folders/PodCast/media/a0299a7c-34de-4bc4-987b-801d73aef01e/" /><param name="src" value="http://content.screencast.com/users/TheMoneyCult/folders/PodCast/media/a0299a7c-34de-4bc4-987b-801d73aef01e/flvplayer.swf" [...] At lot of internet marketing guru’s are masters of all the different ways to produce media.  So I have been writing, I have made a couple video’s so I figured I would try and do a couple podcast just to see what it would be like.  One of my [...] Jared Little 21.00 Minutes podcast,podcasts,free podcast, how do i make a podcast, how to create a podcast, hot to make a podcast, how to podcast clean
