Many people are better speakers than they are writers. If you are one of them, then talk away – just get your audio or video transcribed for people who like to read.

Just because I am an audio lover doesn’t mean other people are. I admit that I have been lax in getting transcriptions done, and now I am regretting it. I’ve had some fabulous Marketing With Audio And Video shows, with tons of great insights and tips, but you have to listen to the entire show to get them. I will end up having someone go back and at least get all of the tips and information out so I can use it elsewhere.

TIP #4

If you are a podcaster or speaker, then I bet you have an archive of content that has not been transcribed, and therefore the content has never been searched by a search engine. It has also never been read by ebook fanatics. How about people who don’t have an MP3 player and still listen to CDs? You get my drift?

“You can have your podcasts transcribed and turned into articles. Some people have turned the transcriptions into ebooks. Some people sell their old episodes on CDs or DVDS. Some people take their old content and take it offline and make it available for “members only” and set up a member site. You can do this last one with One To One Podcasting (http://www.121podcasting.com).”

Expand your mind to the many possibilities of taking your multimedia and transferring it into searchable written word. Also consider re-packaging your audio and video in other formats like CD and DVD. The possibilities are limitless.
