The Podcasting Handbook

The Podcasting Handbook

This ebook contains the curriculum from a 5-week proven course in Podcasting... The original Podcasting Handbook for Busy Entrepreneurs was a live 5 week course featuring Audio and Video.

The Outline of the Course is as Follows:

  • Week 1 - What is Podcasting, What Can It Do For Me, What Do I Need and How Much Will It Cost? (Not much, by the way!) Homework: Download a podcasting program and subscribe to several podcasts.
  • Week 2 - Resources For Your Podcasting Needs, including where to find it, what it costs, and how to use it. (No expensive investment necessary!) Will include how to upload your files, where to upload them to, and how to create a podcast entry in your RSS feed. Also where to find music. Includes free video links on how to download and install iPodder (now "Juice") Homework: Review the Audio Recording 101 Program in preparation for next week's class.
  • Week 3 - Audio Recording 101+. Intensive instructional course on recording, editing, mixing music, saving files, and the differences in frequencies and bitrates (it's not as complicated as it seems). Homework: Record and edit a practice recording, and put music behind it.
  • Week 4 - Vocal coaching for delivery and recording. Discussion and review of the different types of podcast styles and productions you can create. Review of existing podcasts for do's and don'ts. Everyone will get a chance to try out their skills by the end of the evening (don't panic! It will be fun and non-threatening.) Homework: Record and edit your own podcast. Upload it to your server and place the information in the RSS feed, so we can review your podcast next week. (We'll be gentle, I promise.)
  • Week 5 - Review of participant podcasts. All of the places to submit your podcast. Ways to use podcasting for marketing your own products and services. Peripheral ways to make money with your newly found recording skills!
    • If you need more intensive instruction in some areas, you can pick and choose which classes you purchase.
    • Only want audio recording and editing Videos? Then that's all you get.
    • Only want information on marketing your business through podcasting? Then that's all you download.
    • Need to learn more about how to post on an RSS feed, or how to use resources like Libsyn, Audioblog, BYOAudio, Quikonnex, WordPress, etc.? Then that's all you pay for.

    By the end of the original course, participants were able to

    • record,

    • edit,

    • mix music,

    • upload files to their server,

    • create RSS podcast feeds,

    • list the podcast in all podcast directories,

    • Use other inexpensive resources to help record telephone classes, interviews, and more...
    • brainstorm about how to market their business with their new podcasting and audio recording skills
    • and much more.

    There was so much information given to us, in so many formats I just wanted to share with the group that I took a class by Penny Haynes of Encouraging Audio Books called Complete Podcasting Handbook for Busy Entrepreneurs.

    I learned SO MUCH about podcasting. There was so much information given to us, in so many formats, mp3 files, video files, written text as well as the 2 hour class in a web conference room once a week. It was amazing how much valuable information was given to us for the class.

    Even if you think you know how to podcast it really was so much more then just learning to podcast, we worked on marketing ideas, brainstormed with fellow podcasters, received voice coaching and so much more. If you feel that you want to "kick it up a notch" with your podcast do yourself a favor and check out the class now offered on CD.

    She is a great teacher and I wanted this group to know it. She may be too modest to share this, so I thought I would share from a "students" point of view.

    Hey, count me in as one of Penny's VERY satisfied students!
    Hey, count me in with Barbara and Laura as one of Penny's VERY satisfied students! I started out knowing practically nothing about podcasting except that I knew it was something I needed to learn to do...and Penny sure helped me accomplish that goal.
    I just got back from a week's vacation and haven't even checked my e-mail until today, but am getting ready to create a podcast from an interview I did with my co-host, Roger, on PC Primer last week. I plan to have it posted early next week. I couldn't have done it without Penny's class.

    Penny,

    In addition to my audio, I'll like to add the following comments on the Podcasting course. Your class, and the women in the class was awesome.
    Listening in class, reading the material and watching the videos assisted me in "getting it". We all learn by various methods, and the visual aspects of this class are a huge bonus for me. I happen to have printed out the step by step instructions and keep them in a notebook that is open while I edit.
    What a lifesaver that one part of the course is. I look forward to constantly improving as I go forth. Thanks again for everything.

    The podcasting teleclass was very helpful for the "non-techy" person such as myself. Thank you, Penny! The podcasting teleclass was so informative and was very helpful for the "non-techy" person such as myself. I appreciate all your hard work and time invested in preparing for the class as well as your attention to details to help make the process as easy as possible.

    I especially appreciate your patience when I was feeling stuck. I would recommend this class for all entrepreneurs who want to be on top of the new exciting world of "podcasting."

    She is a great instructor, and I have learned so much. I have just finished a podcasting class with Penny Haynes and I recommend it highly. She is a great instructor, and I have learned so much. Now I am anxious to put what I learned to good use.

    We learned everything from music to vocal qualities to audio editing to RSS feeds Penny is the audio goddess and in her Podcasting class we learned everything from music to vocal qualities to audio editing to RSS feeds in order to get our own podcasts up and on the cyberwaves. The class was so full of specific and practical information and I know that I'll be visiting the material over and over again. Catherine Bruns
