Podcasting is here to stay:

By 2010, podcasting will reach over 75 million people and advertisers will spend over $300 million dollars to reach them

There's a ton of hype about podcasting. But what is the opportunity for businesses? How do you leverage a podcast for maximum exposure? Is this going to cost an arm and a leg? Is podcasting just going to flame-out like other ooh-shiny! internet trends? And by the way:

what is podcasting?

Podcasting works like a VCR. Instead of recording TV shows, you're 'recording' your favorite internet audio and video programs. As new episodes become available they're downloaded automatically for you to listen to whenever you want and can even be synced to your iPod or MP3 player. They could be radio, news, seminars - even your media files: your internet radio show, your teleseminars, your video demos - anything you want. And your customers and clients can listen to you whenever they want and where ever they want!

You Know You Should Know More About Podcasting But Don't Know Where to Start

But there's lots to learn. Lots of pitfalls. Lots of ways to mess it up. What you really need is:

A quick-start guide to tell you where podcasting came from, where it is now and how you can prepare for the future growth of this hot format.
An overview of how to easily plan, record and publish your own podcast that can be enjoyed by anyone, anywhere.
A complete guide to promoting, publicizing and monetizing your podcast to generate clients faster, market yourself easier and increase visibility.
Access to experts in the podcasting field to give you the backstage secrets of what's happening right now in the world of podcasting.

Say 'Hi' to Podcasting Bootcamp

I've got you covered with a comprehensive teleseminar on how podcasting works, how to get started and how to quickly maximize the impact of podcasting for your business.

Why Clients Love My Seminars:

"I had heard about Andy Wibbels from everyone around me... Andy this, Andy that. They were bragging about Andy's class... They were raving about Andy's book. Finally, enough was enough! I had to find out if all the (good) rumors were true. But they weren't.

"They UNDERSOLD HIM by a mile! <smile> I am one of those people that, if I can learn it myself, I will, but if I can't, I will go to the Master in that field and pay him his due to get his information. Andy Wibbels has definitely earned his reputation.

"Personally, I thought I got my money's worth from the first session alone! Yet it kept getting better with every class. "

A Simple Solution to Podcasting Quickly and Inexpensively

Imagine creating on-demand audio content quickly using nothing more advanced than a telephone. You can literally 'phone it in!' You simply post this audio to your podcast, and your customers, clients and colleagues can instantly download your latest insights, expertise and wisdom. Sure, we'll cover advanced options with microphones, headsets and other audio hardware - but you will finish this class with your first podcast live and online. Let me repeat that last thing again:

You will create a podcast during this course!

I just needed to put that in large type. Nothing drives me batty more than a seminar that is all concept/theory and babbling and no tangible outcome. You will finish this course with your own personalized, optimized, findable, promotable, monetizable podcast.

What is a teleseminar?

Instead of having to book a flight, hire a babysitter, find a hotel and schlep through airport security (laptops out, please!) to attend a seminar, you simply dial-in to the teleseminar phone number at the scheduled time. You'll join your fellow participants and the seminar leader on the phone call. Teleseminars consist of lecture, Q&A, interview, demo and webcast formats.

This course is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.

You will need to have internet access during the calls for this course. Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Safari work best.

What if I miss a class?

All classes are recorded and audio archives are made available soon after the class. Stream the class, download it, even toss it onto your iPod for on-the-go learning. I've had many participants take courses and never make it to a live call either because of their schedule or time zone.

Alright Andy, How Much?

This course should cost a ton. I see faux gurus hawking courses like this upwards of $2,000. That's just crazy talk.

Still not convinced? Let's take your objections, one-by-one:

Ridiculous Excuse #1:"Podcasting is just a fad."

Podcasting isn't going anywhere. Podcasting isn't out of the blue - it is an evolution of media and self- publishing trends stretching all the way back to CB radio (10-4, good buddy!). Podcasting is a new distribution channel with millions of listeners hungry for compelling content created especially for them.

Ridiculous Excuse #2: "Podcasting is too expensive."

There are many free tools, services and software packages ready for you to use. You spend more money on coffee each week.

Ridiculous Excuse #3: "I don't know where to start."

That's why I made this course: to help folks jump past the confusion and get started podcasting immediately.

Ridiculous Excuse #4: "I don't have any audio hardware."

You don't have to buy fancy audio hardware to start a podcast. The only audio hardware you need is a telephone.

Ridiculous Excuse #5: "I can find all this stuff on Google for free."

And yet you haven't... hmmm... maybe that's not a good excuse after all. If you think you can find all of this information on Google and think the hours you'll spend researching podcasting is a better use of your time than taking this course... then please go out to Google now and try and find the material you'll learn in this course in the mere four hours you'll spend actually in this course.

one more Rave:

"First, a confession. I don't do courses. Well, not like other folk. I can't sit still for more than 20 minutes. That's why Andy's approach to learning is so great. He even allows for guys like me who want to do it at our pace. Andy's lets me play my way. His instructions are clear, provocative, and helpful. And, when I do ask for help Andy's there with an answer Pronto! Does this guy sleep?"
