"Podcasting" is a term that was developed from a combination of "iPod" and "broadcast".
The concept is that audio recordings (in digital format) can be broadcast usually via RSS feeds.
The audio messages are in mp3 format and can be downloaded to any mp3 player (not just an iPod).
Podcasting is experiencing an explosion in affiliate marketing to rival that of blogging.
Through this posting I am offering a free ebook, "Podcasting for Fun & Profit" which is a comprehensive resource that shows you how to develop and publish a podcast.
The information in the ebook can be used to develop podcasts to market any product or program. The information can also be used to have fun (a great way to learn!).
This 83 page ebook is very comprehensive and is designed as a learning tool and incorporates a glossary of terms, chapter summaries, examples, graduated project tasks, action steps and "things you should know". It literally takes you by the hand through the processes of understanding podcasts, listening to them, creating podcasts and marketing your podcasts. The core chapters are:
- What is Podcasting?
- Getting started by downloading and listening
- Podcasting software and equipment
- Podcast host sites
- Creating successful podcast for particular markets or niches
- 10 Ways to make money with podcasts
The graduated project tasks are as follows:
- Get set up and listen to a podcast
- Preparing to podcast
- Become a podcaster
- Develop your podcast
- Keep your podcast going
The ebook, Podcasting for Fun & Profit, can be downloaded as a zipped file at:

Affiliate Marketing: Why Go It Alone?
One of the advantages I have found with the Affiliate Classroom is that I have been able to develop a learning partnership with my affiliates.
The Affiliate Classroom provides all the up-to-date resources for affiliate marketing - success case studies, tutorials, step-by-step coaching approach, niche product profiles, conference calls and interviews with leading affiliate marketers and an e-marketing library with software and ebooks.
I have been able to add value to these offerings by engaging my affiliate members in a learning partnership. What this means is that we share what we learn through the Affiliate Classroom as well as our other resources. We also provide supportive critiques of each other's articles, websites, strategies, etc. In this way, we are able to help each other focus and develop an integrated approach to what we are trying to achieve with affiliate marketing.
Sometimes the solution is right in front of you but you need another pair of eyes and another brain to help you see it. I think "two heads are better than one" in affiliate marketing. You also need someone who is willing to ask you questions to test your assumptions about your approach.
We have been able to use the free voice over internet service provided by Skype.com as part of our strategy for exploring the way forward together.
The approach underlying my coaching strategy is known as "action learning".

Paul Colligan talks about Podcasting for Affiliates
Anik Singal of the Affiliate Classroom recently interviewed Paul Colligan about the use of podcasting for affiliates.
Paul is a widely recognized expert in a new exploding industry - podcasting. He explains how he uses podcasting to generate several streams of income.
In the interview (recorded as an mp3 file), Paul maintains that the real benefit of podcasting lies in the ability to catch a person's attention for a concentrated period of time. Typically people listen to podcasts on their iPods or mp3 players when they are travelling in their car, on the train or bus, or at the gym. People will spend up to 20 minutes of dedicated time listening to a podcast but only 20 seconds on an email.
Paul covers the following topics in his extensive interview:

Automate Your Article Submissions
Anik Singal has written two case studies on article marketing for members of the Affiliate Classroom. The first covers the reasons for article marketing and how to write and submit articles. The second covers Anik's results and new strategies he has used to have 17,300 sites refer targeted traffic to him.
Central to Anik's strategy is the automatic submission of articles which enables you to achieve a critical mass of exposure very quickly. Anik uses and recommends SubmitYourArticle.com for automatic submission to article directories and article announcement lists.
Anik maintains that automatic article submission is the key change he made to become successful:
I would say that the biggest change I have made in my strategy is that I no longer submit articles by hand to ANY website - it just takes too long.
I have followed Anik's recommendation and used SubmitYourArticle.com during this month. It was great to see my articles on multiple Google pages when I searched under the article title.
I am delighted to say that one of my articles reached the No1 position in Google for one of my major keywords. This article had been submitted to the relevant article directory, via SubmitYourArticle.com, less than three weeks previously.
Of course, one of the advantages of article submission is that your articles appear on article directories that are frequently ranked highly by Google because directories are content rich.
I found SubmitYourArticle.com very easy to use - no software installation involved! You still need to register manually with the relevant directories that require a username and password. However, SubmitYourArticle.com makes this easy through their article management system which takes you to the sign-up page of each directory and then enables you to store your username and password for easy access. Once registered, you do not need to register again.
Entering your article and related details to SubmitYourArticle.com is very easy and takes a minimal amount of time. I found the best strategy for me was to first submit my article to EzineArticles.com to ensure I had the format right and my article was acceptable to editors. I was then able to "cut and paste" to enter the article in the SubmitYourArticle.com data base.
Then it was a matter of pressing the "submit" button and my article was sent automatically to 10 major directories that required username and password, a further 10 not requiring these details and a number of article announcement lists as well as an undisclosed number of websites. The beauty of this is that the article directories, in turn, provide content for thousands of website owners and ezine marketers.
I can strongly recommend SubmitYourArticle.com to give your article marketing a turbo boost.
