Podcasting for Beginners

Podcasting is clearly here to stay. For anyone who's new to the idea and wants to get started, have a look at Stefan’s Killer Podcasting Tips. Stefan Mischook, from KillerSites.com provides 7 basic tips on how to create an effective podcast:

1. Speak slowly.
2. If you make a mistake, pause and then repeat the sentence.
3. Edit everything later.
4. Speak as if you're speaking to a single person.
5. Use a relaxed, conversational tone.
6. Use a quality microphone.
7. Be concise.

These are all good tips for the podcasting newbie. Having your website visitors able to put a voice to what they see — e.g., your photo or socially responsible products — can increase their interest and trust in you.
