Podcasts get the word out ……
In March, as Andrew Horowitz was preparing to publish his book, “The Disciplined Investor,” the financial planner was considering ways to promote its arrival.
Already a savvy self-promoter among friends, peers and the media, he wanted to take his guide to investment strategies to the masses. If only he could speak more widely about it, he thought.
Today, Horowitz does just that with TheDisciplinedInvestor.com podcast. The audio show is recorded in about 10 days and uploaded to the Internet. A link is sent to some 3,500 subscribers, and it’s downloaded about 50,000 times a month, he said, making it among the top business and financial planning downloads on iTunes.
“It’s like a radio show, but it’s directed to a clear and defined audience,” said Horowitz, who has recorded and uploaded 46 podcasts from the desk at his Weston office.
Podcasting takes the spoken word to the mass market. Derived from the popularity of the iPod and other personal MP3 audio players, podcasting enables listeners to record and post to the Internet stories, marketing messages and other content. Most are offered as free downloads from such services as iTunes, Podango.com, Zune and others.
Not just for small business
It’s not just for small business. Carnival Cruise Lines, which offers Web content and blogs supporting its FunShipIsland.com initiative, is working with Fort Lauderdale marketing shop Avenue A | Razorfish to offer a podcast as part of its overall “social media” content offerings. Montero Consulting, a virtual office and telework consulting firm in Delray Beach, offers the Anywhere Office podcast. Read more
