048 Podcast Answer Man - Talk About Sponsorships

January 23, 2008

In this episode, I talk about the importance of doing everything you can to make things work for your sponsor. There is great potential to do relational based endorsements that would far exceed the effectiveness of nearly any other form of marketing out there. However, there is great potential to really do sponsorships poorly. Either way, you will likely get the income from your original contract with the sponsor. However, the goal is to make it to where the sponsor will want to sign on as a long term sponsor.

046 Podcast Answer Man - The POWER of the HEIL PR40 Microphone!

January 17, 2008

Heil PR-40
In this episode, I’ve decided to show off one of my favorite pieces of equipment in my studio. My Heil PR40 microphone was recommended by Leo Leporte. I’m using this episode to show the MAJOR difference in the audio between cheap microphones as they compare to the Heil PR-40 sound.

Of course, I want you to know that one stream of income that I have going in my career as a podcast and new media consultant is that I am a reseller of audio equipment. The Heil PR-40 microphone is by far my most popular item. I can assure you that if you contact me directly, you’ll not find a lower price on this microphone!

If you are saving up money to improve the quality of your audio sound. Before you buy Compressors, Gates, Equalizers, etc, you should first purchase a professional microphone like the Heil-PR40 and it will increase the quality of your audio well above 95% of all the other podcasts out there.

If you want to purchase this microphone from me, please send me an email at Cliff@gspn.tv for more details.
