Adobe Audition 101:
Adobe Audition 101 TrainingThis is the program I use to do all my audio editing. There are a few features that this software has that is found in no other alternative software. Also, there is a certain “process” that you can run on your audio files that turns your recordings into something that sounds like they come from the best of radio broadcasting stations. In this video training product, I walk you through EVERYTHING you would need to know as a podcaster and even share my “Secret Sauce” for the settings of the “Multi-Band Compressor.” This course will take what appears to be a very intimidating software and make it as easy to use as a Fisher Price child’s toy.
(Cost = $100)

Audacity 101:
Audacity 101 TrainingThis is a video training tutorial on everything you need to know to produce an audio podcast using Audacity, which is available to download for free for Windows, Mac, & Linux . This is not the program I personally use to do all my own audio editing. However, this is software I used when I first started to podcast and is a great place for most people to get started with podcasting. In this series, you’ll learn all the basic editing techniques, including how to insert audio into the front and end of your podcast.

Evaluating Your Podcast:
Evaluting Your PodcastPeople often hire me to review and evaluate their podcast. When I do this, I typically review two or three episodes of their podcast, I review their entire website, their iTunes listing page, and more. In this digital training product, I share with you everything I look at when I do a podcast evaluation. I have had podcasters who have been podcasting for years tell me that I had helped them become aware of many items that they had overlooked and that have helped them take their own podcasts to the next level. Whether you are just starting out or have been podcasting for years, I believe that you would benefit from knowing these nearly 100 items that I look at. The cost of this training product is $100 which is 1/3 the cost of what I charge for one on one podcast evaluations.

In this series, you’ll learn all the basic editing techniques, including how to insert audio into the front and end of your podcast.

WordPress For Podcasters:
WordPress For Podcasters TrainingIn this video training tutorial, I take someone who had no domain name and no web hosting account and set them up with both, installed WordPress, explained required plugins for podcasting, installed them, and configured them. Also, I configured all the other necessary settings within WordPress as well as set up the rss feed with FeedBurner. I demonstrated how to upload the a podcast episode and release it as a podcast within WordPress. I even used the placeholder audio recording to submit the podcast successfully to iTunes. All of this took place within 90 minutes and was captured in full glory with both high quality audio and video so that you can follow along and do the same thing. I’ve been told by many people that I should at least double the cost of this training product.

How I Do Premium Membership:
How I Do Premium MembershipOne of the most frequent questions that I am asked is “how do you make a living from podcasting?” Today, a majority of my income comes in from my podcast coaching/consulting work as well as the sale of these digital training products. However, the income generated from a premium content model still brings in a significant amount of income on a monthly basis. Basically, the way I have it set up, I have a few shows that I produce where you get every episode for free. A majority of our shows are set up to where you get at least one episode per month for free. Those who are “premium members” get every episode of every show that we produce. In this digital product, I share why I decided to go with the partial premium membership model that I did. I share the type of responses I got from those who had been used to getting every episode for free. I share the insights that I have gained over the past few years of doing this and whether or not I would do it again if I had it to do all over. While this session is not a step by step how-to like my other products, I do share how I manage to give each premium subscriber their own unique rss feeds and I show the software packages I use to manage everything.

Thank you for the great webinar last night. You spent more time and provided more information than I expected. Worth so much more than you charged!

I’ve paid hundreds of dollars, even closer to $1,000 for certification classes at the local tech school and they were not as good as last nights webinar. Don’t get a big head but seeing the stuff on my on screen, hearing and having you show us why you liked or didn’t like something made all the difference.
