When I began the eBay & Beyond: Basics To Business radio program on February 4, 2007 on a little AM radio station in Jamestown NY, I was in nearly uncharted territory. Back then, there were less than a handfull of live talk radio programs for those selling on the internet. Of course there was and is eBay Radio which focuses specifically on eBay, but other than that, I could find no other live call in programs either on terrestrial or internet radio anywhere in the country that discussed ecommerce on a multi venue level.
Just 2 short years ago, podcasting was still an infant. There were a few podcasts on ecommerce marketing and even fewer promoting products, bloggers or businesses. Today, podcasting and vidcasting have exploded into the forefront of ecommerce marketing.
With the plethura of podcasts and live programs on the internet today, I am humbled and honored to have achieved a spot on the Top 100 list on Talkshoe.com. I wanted to take this time to thank all of my loyal listeners the continue to listen to my rants and comments on ecommerce every Saturday morning. You are the best!
Many ecommerce marketers are discovering the benefits of live streaming on the internet and podcasts to promote their products or services. Producing live streams, podcasts or vidcasts has become very cost effective and realistically can be done with little more than a headset and webcam.
For those that wish to be a bit more professional, for less than $1000 you can set up a mini studio right in your home or office with a soundboard, microphones computer interface and a digital video camera.
Since the inception of the ebay & Beyond: Basics To Business radio program, many other friends and colleagues have begun their own programs. It is refreshing to see the increase in these programs and the differing viewpoints and ideas generated.
Please take a minute when you get time and check out other programs I listen to including:
Agents of Revenue with John “ColderIce” Lawson and Scott Pooler.
Brainstorming Bonanzle with Walt Kolenda and Mitzi Swisher
The Auction Wally Show with Walt Kolenda and Mitzi Swisher
Tips From The Top with Marlene Gavens The Savvy Seller
The PowerSelling Mom with Danna Crawford
In the coming weeks I will explore in depth the steps in podcasting and vidcasting for your business.
