Making Audio Portable - Repurposing to a Podcast


Audio from webinars or teleseminars and even audio/visuals from a spectacular presentation can be repurposed into a podcast.

So what really is a podcast? A podcast is nothing more than time-shifted content.

We could teach you step by step on how to create a podcast, but that would be a very long series of articles. So what we are going to do is give you a method of finding the answer.

First, a brief outline of how to repurpose audio content into a podcast. To repurpose content into a podcast, take a teleseminar that's live, chop it up, put it into a podcast, upload it into iTunes or have it as a digital download for your students to create a channel with and they get to listen to you that way.

hat's a digital download and how does that work?

Here's what to do, go to Google.com; and type in quotations how to create a podcast. Open quotation "how to create a podcast" closed quotation.

When you do that in Google, the quotations mean that's just what I'm looking for, all you're doing is speaking with Google. You're saying, how do I create a podcast? Guess what? It's going to give you how to create a podcast.

An additional tip: When your article is titled with a command, which it should be, then you'll come up number one on Google. It's a great way to generate more traffic.

The first organic search result is how to create your own podcast, a step-by-step tutorial.

This is from About.com, how to create your own podcast; a step-by-step method by Corey Deitz, your guide to radio free newsletter.

He says, "Why is radio guide writing about podcasting? It's very clear to me that Internet couples with personal technology like iPods and mp3 players have employed everyone with a new voice while redefining what radio is in the 21st Century from both a technical and distribution sense. Although I love traditional radio I'm also willing to embrace new paradigms."

So should you. o A podcast is an audio file you create in mp3 format. o It contains your own radio show or information content.

By the way, isn't a teleseminar played over the Internet; an Internet radio show?

o You upload this audio/video with an RSS feed.

RSS stands for really simple syndication to a server.

o They listen to it at their convenience on their iPod, mp3 player or other device.

Don't let things like RSS files, server, or mp3 format scare you; this is what the author is saying. We're not going to show you exactly how to do it in the simplest terms, but by the time we're done you'll be podcasting to the world.

How do you repurpose content into a podcast?

Start with a teleseminar. A teleseminar could be 60-70 minutes of live audio content. It's passive and live, which makes it world-class so you avoid humiliation, because people will be listening to it live. You don't have three to five takes like you do with movies or in studio audio.

Then chop that up into 10-20 minutes segments. 10 minute segments are great because it's easier to listen to, especially if it's just quick tips in your teleseminar.

If you had five tips that's five 10-minute tips; you have the beginning, the end and then five 10-minute tips. Make sure when you have a teleseminar that you set it up for repurposing.

Always have numbered tips. These are the 12 most powerful tips to... or these are the 10 biggest mistakes that...that's basically a one-hour call. If I have 21 tips that's a two-hour call and if it's 37 tips, that's a three hour call. With 50 tips that's a four-hour call; you can't get 50 tips and talk about them completely in an hour.

You can also create a podcast with video. You can download video to your iPod. There's video music, and there's video/audio we're talking about learning information products not music, but learning product that you can bring down via an RSS podcast.
