Podcasting & New Media Webinars Available:
One of the ways that I am able to do Podcasting & New Media full time is not only by doing consulting work one on one, but also through Podcasting Webinar Sessions. Taking a webinar is a great way to share the cost of consulting with a small group people.

Thanks again!! That was probably the best 2 hours I’ve spent in a long time! Thank you so much for both climbing the learning curve before me and imparting such great knowledge – really helpful!!

Thank you for the great webinar last night. You spent more time and provided more information than I expected. I made an additional $50 donation to GSPN today, you earned it!

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.

THANK YOU for putting this together – I really loved the session and found it to be worth the money and more!… Thank you so much Cliff for taking the time to do this – Not only do I feel like I can do this, I am EXCITED to do this and I credit you for instilling that passion in me about it. You really are doing great things for so many – I am very thankful to have found you, Steph and GSPN!!!

Thank you so much for the webinar yesterday. Apart from all the specific knowledge I gained about podcasting, the experience helped rekindle my desire to start podcasting and to share my experience with the world. I also really enjoyed the coverage of hosting options, and especially your in-depth tour of libsyn. Podcast hosting has also been a little mysterious to me in the past, and so that clarification was really helpful.

This Webinar is geared toward the new podcaster. However, even those who have been podcasting for a little while may find great value in seeing how another podcaster trains people to do podcasting, picking up new insights along the way.

The webinar will be a presentation for the basics of podcasting such as Recording, File Hosting, Website Hosting, RSS, Etc. Explaining how all the pieces of the puzzle come together to make podcasting work.

Folks that knew little more than how to click and subscribe to a podcast before the Podcasting 101 webinar were able to launch their own podcast within days of taking the webinar.

There will be a mixture of presentation and demonstration with the ability for anyone in the session to ask questions along the way. This session is scheduled for two hours. However, if needed, I will stay later to answer additional questions from webinar participants.
