Online Audio Advertising Gets People To Listen

Friday, January 1st, 2010

New media means new possibilities and new markets for advertisers. A medium experiencing rapid growth, online audio advertising and pay per play advertising is one of the biggest successes in the recent history of online advertising.

No one would dispute the power of audio to convey a message; online audio advertising is an effective means of getting the attention of an online audience. When paired with online video in the form of pay per play video advertising, it’s an engaging and cost effective way to increase your market share among consumers on the web. Professional and powerful, these ads are an exciting way to make an impact on a highly targeted audience.

Online audio advertising may be a newer medium, but it’s already big business. As you read this, there are more than 140 million audio advertisements reaching an online audience globally. By 2012, this is projected to be a $35 billion industry; any business that wants to stay ahead of the curve would do well to claim its own share of this enormous and fast-growing medium.

Online audio advertising which is served contextually, a la the text advertising already common online will provide advertisers unprecedented reach to highly targeted consumers. 5 second pay per play advertising delivers a quick message to viewers; unlike text based contextual advertising, this is a guaranteed impression. These audio ads can even be geo-targeted to allow advertisers whether local, national or international to reach precisely the market they’re aiming for.

The potential of online audio advertising on a pay per play model is something which has never been seen in web-based advertising. There are nearly one billion internet users worldwide; the BPA is currently testing this new technology and analyzing statistics to develop a completely traceable and verifiable deployment model for these newest of new media advertising strategies. Whatever the results, I am sure their findings for this type of media format will go some way in reassuring advertisers and listeners that this is a wholly acceptable media which is growing in popularity.

Text ads and banner advertisements are fine, but there are many consumers who find it off putting to read a website which is littered with this kind of commercial content. Visitors are particularly turned off by those ads whose placements are designed to obscure the content of the site which visitors have, after all come to see. By contrast, online audio advertising is much less intrusive on the visitor’s web surfing experience; it is a brief message played once and only once per visit.

Online audio advertising using a pay per play business model is a development which advertisers should keep an eye on with a view to finding the best placements to reach their markets. This is a format which offers new possibilities for online advertising and has great potential for advertisers.

Creating an audio ad is a simple task; Windows, MacOS and Linux systems all offer built-in recording tools with free recording software also being readily available to those who want something more sophisticated to record their online audio ads; the only other thing you need is a microphone!

Where to Download Music Online for a Dime?

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Music enthusiasts would love to know where to download music online for pennies. Very often, we would really like to get a particular song but simply do not want to buy the whole CD or download the entire album. Some of us may even feel that the online music sites are simply charging too much for us to download music online. If you can identify with one of these scenarios, then this article would open your eyes to a whole new way to download music online and not only that, but do so cheaply.

Downloading a song for 99 cents just won’t go well with the current consumers of MP3. As such, there are now a couple of established music download sites that have started to accept membership. For a monthly fee, you can download music online to your heart’s content. From rock to contemporary classics, pop, K-pop, J-pop and all, you can freely download all these music MP3s as often as you want and as many as you like. There are no limits and it is totally legal to do so. These music stores have cut deals with local music labels to release their brand of music online. In exchange for that, these music record companies get a cut from the profits for each download.

Knowing that there are many music download sites available that allow you to download music online is the first step. But there are many choices and you need to know more in order to be able to find one that you are comfortable to download music online from. Do take note that the music file formats are important as you need to ensure their compatibility with your digital player. Go with the most commonly used ones like Windows Media (WMA) and Advanced Acoustic Coding (AAC) and it should be quite safe. Moreover, the quality of such files is better.

Another important factor to consider is the selection of music. Many sites nowadays provide more than one million music MP3 files. You may be impressed but be sure to still compare the different sites to download music online. There are some that offer 2 million, while others offer much more. Obviously you want to buy the membership for the one with the most number of music downloads. It would be great if the membership music download site allows you to directly download music without installing any client software.

Make sure that you check if the online music site has the music genre that you are looking for before you start to download music online from that particular site. It would really be disappointing if you cannot find what you want. To play safe, look through the list of music genre carefully on each site. That would be useful. Some music genre which can be more unique might also be available for you to download online. Before you download music online, also read the website terms and conditions. See if they offer 24/7 customer service support. This ensures that you can reach them at any time if you have questions.

Information Products Online Offer Benefits to Writers Looking for New Opportunities

Friday, January 1st, 2010

There was a time when most information was generic, that is, written to appeal to the widest possible audience. Writers might get advice on how to write, not necessarily how to market an article to an online site. Parents got information on rearing their children, not coping with autism.

The Internet changed a lot of things in our culture, including creating a flurry of interest in very narrow topics. Visit the web and you can find out how to market your article on video games to a gaming website or how to talk to your childs teacher about his recently diagnosed Aspergers syndrome.

If TV brought to us the concept of broadcasting, then the Internet is responsible for the concept of narrow-casting, that is, fine-tuning information to appeal to very small but specific segments of the public.

So what does that mean for an enterprising writer? It means that expertise and writing projects that once would have been roundly rejected can now not only find utility and purpose, they can actually be sold.

Heres how it works.

This is based on the assumption that you (like everyone else) have particular in-depth knowledge of many subjects. Whether its catching feral cats, raising orchids, deep-frying turkey, paying down credit card debt, opening a daycare center, or explaining how pacemakers work, most of us cant get through life without acquiring some very in-depth knowledge about some very narrow subjects.

If you cant think of what you might know in-depth consider your education, your jobs, your friends, your hobbies, and projects youve been involved with through your family, friends, and clubs.

Dont worry if this information is too obscure or too off-the-beaten path. Just start to accumulate a list.

If youre a writer, youre also likely to be an able researcher, so you can fill in gaps in your knowledge of fly fishing or recommending cures for snoring. You can even get expertise in a whole new area by talking to experts and conducting your own online research.

In the Internet world, each of these subjects is called a niche. Many niches are actively sought by Internet denizens who are out trolling constantly for information.

Take celebrity sites. There are always legions of Internet people seeking the latest news on Britney Spears. Now raise your sites a little more. There are also people eager to get new quilting patterns, learn to speak Portuguese, find a great vacation getaway in Italy, or write a killer resume.

Each of those is a niche. As a writer, you can develop what are called information products to serve that niche. For example, take the niche of job seekers. An electronic book or e-book on resume writing might appeal to them. You might also write about some unusual job search tactics, how to shine in a job interview, and finding jobs that aren’t advertised.

In other words, every niche has lots and lots of potential information products. And dont dismiss physical products and more traditional services. Staying in the job search niche, you could sell physical products (resume-writing software, briefcases, calendars, expensive pens or other accessories for the job interview) or services (resume writing, job placement).

While all of these are interesting and many of them are viable enough to be profitable (if done correctly), no area is as lucrative as information marketing. You may create an information product for sale; it can be electronic or a physical product on a niche topic.

What kind of products can you sell? E-books are popular; these are downloadable manuscripts. With todays digital printing technology, you can also publish and sell a physical book almost as easily. (Ironically, e-books tend to have a higher profit margin and sell for more money.) You can sell audios, such as interviews with experts. You can sell videos, which are particularly useful on how-to subjects like how to knit or how to transform your home computer into a sound studio.

Internet marketers have known about niche marketing for a while but the biggest stumbling block for many of them is not the marketplace or the ideas or finding customers. Its the writing!

Thats why writers have a great advantage. Internet marketing can be learned (there are many great resources) but writing is a much harder skill to master. Any writer who can successfully identify viable niches and then create products for that niche can become a highly successful Internet marketer by applying his or her writing skills to a new marketplace (with new rules).

Online Music Download – Which of the Two Music Download Options is Better?

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Downloading music online has been a controversial subject for many years now. Some people like music fans argue that it’s legal while others like the music recording industry says it’s not. But one thing is sure. It’s becoming very confusing to know what is acceptable and what is not.

The fact of the matter is that at the moment, there are two ways you can download music online: through one-time fee file sharing sites or per-download fee music sites.

One-Time Fee File Sharing Sites

These sites are known as Peer-to-Peer program websites. Basically, these sites work by having participants voluntarily install special file-sharing software on their machines. In fact, the one-time fee you will pay is to have access to the software. Once you have put that software is in place, than you can start to trade MP3 music files with other users.

It can be considered controversial to download music from these sites. So, be careful and make sure to share files just a bit at a time.

Although these sites are very attractive in terms of price, they are not without problems. For example, the download speed can be slowed down when the file sharing load is heavy and your computer may not be protected from spyware and viruses that can cause damage.

Per-Download Fee Music Sites

With these sites you only pay for the music pieces you want. These sites are perfectly legal because when you purchase a song, a percentage of the fee goes directly to the artist or the recording company. The big advantage with this type of music download site is that if you only like one song from an artist album, you can just pay for that track instead of buying the whole album.

The good news is that these sites are becoming more popular and their number is increasing. Therefore, the prices are becoming cheaper. In fact, some have come up with a subscription-based membership model to differentiate themselves from the competition.

So, these are the two options available to you. Personally, I recommend going with the per-download fee music site option because the saving you would get from subscribing to file sharing site are not worth the potential risk of legal actions.

Learning to Make Money Online with Your Own Product

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

I was reading an ebook today titled “Making Money Online” by Sara Brown. When I had
finished reading her book, I felt like I could indeed become successful in the competitive
business of making money online.
Although, I have been in business for 6 years, I have only recently within the last year
 started to develop my products to help others, and market online. I have spent a lot of my
 business years learning software programs and finding free resources to benefit my
business.

Sara Brown details how anyone who has a learned skill and could write how to do the skill
 in a manual or booklet, can become competition and start to make money with a valuable
comodity in the online world.

The Internet Marketing world has a lot of the same topics covered, so often that it does
seem like sometimes you end up reading the same information. There are topics covered
through ebooks, videos, and audio products. It is no wonder some are of the opinion you
 can not make money in this market.

But with all of the resources on the market, all of the software programs available to be
used, if you have learned one of these programs and have found a way to make it work in
your favor, you could then write a “how to” manual to create another source of income.
Writing this information will not allow others to steal your traffic or potential
 customers, because this is a product you can sell forever as your own. With the many
different niches and markets out there, providing a fellow business owner the knowledge to
 be able to implement a new strategy geared toward helping them; would allow you to become
 known as the expert in that application, and more business owners would be flocking by to
 pick up your book.

Most anyone who has the desire to make money online can do so. They just need to spend
 some thought on what skills they have acquired in their journeys, what their passions are,
 and what others may have previously told them they were good at. Then if they could
 create an outline of how they learned this skill and applied it to make money in whatever
 niche it is, they would have an information product ready for sale. Even if you can not
 write, you should still be able to jot down notes of all the steps you did and the
outcome. You could then hire a ghostwriter(I have a few available on my team), and have
 an affordable ebook created for you to sell with you having the sole copyrights.

The Internet stretches from one end of the world to the other, encompassing all people
in between, with new people finding access to the web every day. Finding ways to make
 money online sharing your expertise is now one of the best ways to earning a living.
 In the Internet world, I believe we are all given equal opportunities, it is how we
choose to utilize these opportunities to our own benefit that decides whether one business
 will exceed over another.
