If you aren’t getting what you want or need, how do you turn that around?
It is easy to place blame or to find fault as we operate in a sea of systems. And when something breaks down, we feel it. But that doesn’t mean that answers and solutions aren’t there. They are. All of them. More in the podcast.
How Do You Know You Are Doing The Right Thing? I don’t know, but there is more to it than just that. Watch.
Podcast Episode 7: Easier Ways To Create Content And Post It Where People Will See It, Automatically
This is a full blown podcast nearly 1 hour long that further expands on the ideas presented in my Audioboo “Easier Blogging” series. It covers easier blogging methods and services, how your efforts integrate into social networking, and how you can be more effective and productive online.
Options For Easier Blogging
Getting your words, audio, or video on to your blog ought to be as easy as possible. WordPress works ok, but there is a lot of fiddling and updating to keep it running, and mobile uploads haven’t been reliable for me. Also, a self hosted WordPress site is not automatically embedded into a social network. Aren’t there easier ways to blog?
In this mini podcast I give an overview of some extremely easy to use methods of blogging using sites likeposterous.com or tumblr.com. Also discussed are feed sites friendfeed.com and ping.fm.
Easier Blogging With Tumblr
Tumblr.com is a super simple way to create and maintain your online presence. This mini podcast briefly examines how Tumblr works and why you may be interested in trying it.
Audioboo For Easier Online Audio And Podcasts
Audioboo is a free service that allows you to record a mini podcast. They host it, and post it in the Audioboo community, but you can also post your podcast elsewhere, like on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or your blog. RSS feeds are automatic so you can be listed on iTunes and on other podcasting feeds.
Pressing only a few buttons, you are free to concentrate on creating your podcast instead of tinkering with all the usual technicalities of podcasting. It is so easy. I question why I should use any other method for the type of podcasts I do.
Easier Ways To Maintain Your Online Presence
This mini podcast begins a series covering easier ways to maintain your online presence.
The emphasis of these podcasts is on “maintain”, as there are easier ways to end up online and harder more technical and time consuming ways to post online.
Having been on vacation for over a week and using the added time and space in my day to explore other ways to present oneself online, I realized that the “normal” advice of starting a Wordpress blog isn’t the only way to go. Other options ought to be considered as well.
While a detailed vision of my Internet marketing plan is not something I had, I *did* have a very clear general idea of certain business/lifestyle characteristics that I wanted to see…except I couldn’t clearly see them in most of the things that I was researching and studying.
Yes, here and there something would resonate, and make sense. And I kept it.
Now finally today, and covered in this podcast, I was able for the first time to look at a bunch of the pieces I have collected and realize that, hey, that’s my plan! It’s there, all I have to do is bring it into existence.
That’s a great feeling. One I wasn’t sure I’d ever experience.
Being new to podcasting, about halfway through this episode, I picked up a case of the “you knows”. Also I had some annoying coughs in there and other vocal mannerisms. Forgive me for that, I’ll watch it in the future. Be assured, I am aware of these shortcomings. Painfully.
Nevertheless, here is podcast episode four: Info Overwhelm breakthrough! Oh, and the link I mentioned during the podcast. http://www.warriorforum.com
