Ecommerce has many different facets and intracacies. When this idea first was concieved, the question then became can it be done? Can 4 podcasters with different concepts and ideas truly discuss differing viewpoints as it relates to internet business. Truth be told, we don’t know. However the thought of conducting an internet radio program based on a roundtable discussion format is intriging.

Our first planning tele-meeting was scheduled for 30 minutes and ran one and a half hours! This is just the beginning!

Marlene, Walt, John and myself will be discussing important topics for ebusiness in 2009 and beyond. In addition to the round table type format, we will be accepting questions from our listeners. Our listeners are encouraged to either call in or submit their questions in the chat room.

Those wishing to ask questions during this one of a kind program MUST be registered on Talkshoe.com. It’s free and only takes 1 minute. We will be unable to accept questions from “GUESTS”

WHEN: Thursday March 19th 2009 2 PM ET

WHERE: www.talkshoe.com/tc/30067

Dave “McButtons” White

I began selling online in 1997. In 1998 I quit my full time job as a Paramedic to work full time on my online business. As a natural progression I began doing educational classes and consulting for other internet marketers.

In 2000 I was invited to instruct at eBay University, and did this for nearly the next 2 years. I am a former eBay Educational Specialist and former PowerSeller.

I began ebay & Beyond: Basics To Business radio in February 2007 because I saw a need to provide internet marketers with the truthful information they need to be successful in the online marketplace. ebay & Beyond has also been recognized as one of the Top 100 Small Biz Podcasts for 2009.

ebay & Beyond: Basics To Business can be heard live every Monday 1-3 PM ET on Talkshoe.com.

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.
