"How to interview experts over the phone and
turn your audio into viral ebooks and online profits."
 |
ne of the most incredibly
easy ways to get started putting audio online is to do telephone
interviews with experts in |
| your field. It
does not matter whether you are a musician, health product
retailer, real estate expert, or sports fanatic running a blog...
your website visitors will eat up unique audio content. |
And it is easier than you ever imagined to
get experts to let you interview them. Why? Ego and free
advertising... everyone loves to hear themselves talk. Any musician
wants free exposure.
In a second I will show you exactly how to
land telephone interviews with experts in your niche and how to
leverage them into profits. But first let me show you how to set up
your recording studio for under $100.
Here is a device I use in my office every
day:

You can order this particular model at
Radio Shack for about $25.
Next you will need a simple tape recorder
with input (mic), output (headphone), and remote control jacks. Your
basic classic flat panel tape recorder usually comes equipped with
all these.
Do a Google search for the GE 35027 Shoebox
Cassette Recorder and you will find a good one priced around $20.
You can also pick one up from your local Wal-Mart. Radio Shack
offers some nice
full size cassette recorders as well but they seem to be priced
more and are really no different than the GE models:
Another option I found (that I have not
tested) is this Mini Cassette
Telephone Recorder but before getting a unit like that make sure
it has a jack for output (headphones) because you will use the
output jack to record the audio from your cassette player to your
PC.
Now that you have your recording units you
may need to check out your phone to make sure it is comfortable and
practical for business use. A while back
I purchased a hands-free headset phone from Radio Shack that I
just love... I actually picked up three since I liked them so much .
They no longer make the model that I have but here is the
replacement they are offering now for about $40:

Ok you are now ready to begin recording your
interviews. I must first mention that there are
certain laws that govern the
use of recording technology during telephone conversations. Take
a moment and educate your self about these laws. Make sure when you
do interview people or hold a teleconference that will be recorded
that you clearly state that you will be recording the call.
Also disclose your intentions for the use of
the call later whether it be commercial or private. State guidelines
such as ownership and restrictions on third party recording and use
if you have other listeners on the line.
After you finish recording your
teleconference or telephone interview you can play it back and
record it to your pc using The
Total Web Audio Voice/Input
Recorder and Optimizer. This software allows you to input your
audio and record them to wav format and even convert and condense
them to MP3 at various bit and sample rates:

After you edit your audio file with
powerful
free audio editing software recommended for use with Total Web
Audio or if it is already to your liking go ahead and convert your
wav files from wav to mp3 using our Audio Conversion and Compression
tool.
This will give you a perfect file size and
format for streaming your audio over any internet connection using
one of the many professional streaming flash mp3 players in Website
Jukebox™ which is also part of the Total
Web Audio collection:

Ok now that we have covered the basics and
you are all set up to record I am sure you want to know how to get
the experts who will let you interview them?
Just ask.
Most people love to hear themselves talk.
Free publicity is a great bribe too. If your interviewee can get
some advertising or exposure from the call to a target audience most
are more than willing to sit through an interview. Especially if
there is money to be made or you will be promoting their products
and services on the back end.
In fact there are many ways which you can
turn these interviews into back end residual income using the tips,
tricks, and software revealed in
Total Web Audio such as
using the 'triggered event' technology unique to the Website Jukebox™
and single track flash mp3 audio players.
This technology will allow you to set
'events' on a time line that correspond with your audio. You can
open a website the second you mention it in either the current or a
new window so that your listener stays at your site listening to the
audio while they look at the website you want them to see.
Also using html frames embedded in the page
that your audio is playing on you can simply display content such as
images, text, animations, even video. Using the time line and
'triggered events' function in Website Jukebox you can even conduct
a slide show in the frames complete with any html content you
want... forms, product links, clickable images... anything is
possible!
Let's say you interview a health product
expert on the phone. Now you can take that interview and display
pictures of the products you discussed and links to related websites
at the moment they are mentioned.
If you were a realtor you could interview
the owners of a house about its unique aspects and actually show
pictures rooms at the moment they are mentioned!
Live links, images, text, and all over even
a dial up connection... something that video cannot do.
You can display your audio directly on a
website using the Website Jukebox single track web audio buttons or
for longer presentations with multiple tracks you can use the many
professionally designed multi-track players and even add the
advanced visual tours if you choose.
You could even embed your professional
audio/visual presentations in a multimedia e-book using our secret
recipe and some of the tools we recommend:
"...over 10,000 downloads!"

I was lucky enough to get my
hands on a pre-release of the Total Web Audio package before
it was released. I used it to create two viral audio
e-books. To date we have had over 10,000 downloads and it
has been directly responsible for adding thousands of new
subscribers to my lists and tens of thousands of dollars in
sales. This is definitely the most powerful audio presentation
software on the market.

I was actually interviewed on the phone with
3 other 'experts' for one of Russell's presentations that he turned
into a viral audio e-book using a Website Jukebox™ multi-track player from
Total Web Audio. When I saw
how easily he turned that teleconference into a viral product that
thousands of people downloaded literally over night I was really
excited. Clients love multimedia content. So I snagged Russell's
audio e-book concept and created a recipe that can easily be used
with MYOS
to create your own viral audio e-books.
Now that your ideas are flowing I am sure
that you can come up with some creative new ways to use
Total Web Audio in your own
business or websites. Our clients are encouraged to submit their own
ideas and the best ones will be featured in our 'members only'
section.
