Audio Streaming

Better Sounding Compressed Files, Including MP3?s

The first thing anyone learns about the MP3 audio format is that it is based on a lossy compression algorithm. Lossy compression means that in order to reduce the file size some of the original audio has been removed which inherently reduces the fidelity of the recording. How much data is removed during the compression process is a based on a combination of factors including user preference, portability requirements, available disk space, etc. In the case of an MP3 download the user little control over how much fidelity has been removed from the audio source.
In very simple terms the difference in fidelity can be demonstrated by removing letters from certain words in the following sentence. This is w_at a sentence wo_ld lo_k like if it was compres_ed usi_g a_ imaginary los_y compres_ion algorithm. It doesn’t look very good but I’m sure you can make out the meaning. That’s lossy compression; enough data is provided in order for you to understand the meaning even though some of the data is missing.
So how is one to get the fidelity back? The short answer is you can’t or should I say couldn’t, until now. There has been a breakthrough in thinking in how to describe audio wave patterns called the Sound Genome Theory. The Theory states that digital representation of sound is not just a series of recorded wave patterns but it is actually made up of “sound genes”. Similar in concept to DNA a sound spectrogram is made up of discrete, discernable components that can be “sequenced” and “synthesized”. This sequence of sound genes is what allows software based on the Sound Genome Theory to reconstruct the missing data from a lossy compressed audio file.
Passing our compressed sentence from above through an imaginary Fidelity Amplifier would give us a sentence that looks something like this: This is w_at a sentence would look like if it was compressed usi_g an imaginary lossy compression algorithm. As you can see increased fidelity produces a much more pleasing and accurate representation of the original.
The interesting thing about the Sound Genome Theory is that it can also be used to compress audio. Software that is based on the theory can achieve compression comparable or better than today’s popular lossy compression algorithms yet still maintain the recorded fidelity. The software can also be used on existing MP3s in order to achieve incremental lossless data reduction. Using software based on the Theory will lower the actual file size or bit rate without loosing fidelity of the original recording.
Software based on the Sound Genome Theory is starting to leave the lab now and is available both for playback of streaming and downloaded audio and as a way to losslessly compress digital audio. At this point in its evolution the software is available for use on Windows based PCs. Future versions of the software are destined for portable devices as well as other platforms.

Sound Genetics is based out of the high Technology Triangle from Waterloo Ontario. To start they have released two products based on the Sound Genome Theory that are available for download: Fidelity Amplifier and Sound Slimmer

The Trials and Tribulations of Hiring a Ghost Writer – A Guide

CROSSING THE BRIDGE OF THE DECISION
For a lot of people, knowing that these two methods are as
effective as they are leads to the decision to get started. Once
the decision to get started has been made, the only decision left
to make is to decide on a topic that will gain the webmaster the
best results for his or her time. Once this marketing decision
has been made, the webmaster will sit down and get to work
creating articles or their newsletter.
For other people, deciding on the topic is only the beginning of
the agony in the process.
DO YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO WRITE YOUR OWN MATERIALS?
I have heard the arguments many times before… “I am not a
writer. I cannot do that. It is not an option for me.”
My brother used to tell me that he could not be a writer… That
was many years ago when I first started my own online business.
I always told him what I had always told everyone else. I told
him that if he can have a conversation with another human being,
then he could write. I told him that he should write as he
speaks. And, when he was finished with his story, he should use
Microsoft Word to spellcheck his work. MS Word can serve as a
steady crutch for most people who don’t have good grammar or
spelling skills.
I have always said that most people do not lack the skills to
become a decent writer. What they lack is the confidence in their
own ability to communicate well with others.
SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE!
Three years down the road, I was talking to my mom on the phone
and she mentioned that my brother was ghost writing for other
people. Imagine my shock in learning that I could not talk him
into writing for profit, and then he came to do it on his own.
In fact, it turns out that he used ghost writing to pay for his
living expenses while he went back to college to finish his
master’s degree.
DECIDING ON A GHOST WRITER
For those people who just cannot believe in their own skills, or
those who simply do not have the time to write for themselves,
many look to a ghost writer to help produce materials for the
promotion of their businesses.
Many challenges face those who make the decision to pursue
employing a ghost writer.
* Price of Service
Too many clients lose the battle of selecting a good ghost
writer by putting too much emphasis on the cost of the
service being provided.
Let’s face it, different writer’s demand different prices.
More often than not, the price of the service is a strong
indicator of the value of the work being provided.
* Writing Skills and Commitment of Writer
Just because they tell you they are a professional writer,
does not mean that they will do professional work when you
pay for them to do so.
Even I have hired other writers to help me to fill client
orders. And from personal experience, I can share with you
that getting “writing samples” from writers is not always a
good indicator of the skills or commitment of the writer
who wants your job.
When I hire a writer to do a job because I don’t have the
time to do it myself, and then I spend more time editing
the work than I would have spent creating the work, there
is a problem. I have taken losses on several jobs because
the writers I had hired to help me had done such crappy
work.
* Ability of Writer to Match Client Needs
A skilled ghost writer can match the needs of any client,
on any topic. A skilled ghost writer is also a skilled
researcher. When they do not know the topic that they have
been employed to write about, they will do the necessary
research to learn the topic and to turn out a good product.
* Good Communication Between Client and Writer
The ability of both the client and writer to communicate with
one another is vital. The client must clearly communicate to
the writer their needs and desires for the finished product.
A skilled ghost writer is not necessarily a mind reader, and
he or she should not be expected to be one.
If you want to hire a ghost writer who does not want to
speak with you about what you actually want in your ghost
written work, then move on to a writer who will take the
time to communicate with you. The writer should know in
advance what message you want to communicate with your
readers and any quirks or considerations you want to use
in those communications.
Your ghost writer is your mouthpiece, so your ghost writer
should know as much about you as possible, and they should
know how you would like to see your information communicated.
* Editing Process
Since the ghost writer you hire is your “paid mouthpiece”,
they should be able to communicate your message in a way
that you believe they should. If you have communicated with
your writer well, editing will be a quick and painless
process. Your writer will send you the final edit, and you
will sign off on it or ask for a couple of minor fixes.
If you have not communicated your ideas with the writer well,
or you have simply selected the wrong ghost writer to handle
your job, then the editing process can become very painful.
The writer’s commitment to task is determined sometimes by
the level of pay that you are offering to the writer, and
more often, it is indicative of the writer’s integrity. Keep
in mind that if you have forced the writer to accept a pay
level inconsistent with what they believe their skills are
worth, you will pay for that decision in the quality of work
you receive from them and in the process of bringing the
final product to the level of professionalism you wish to
convey to your readers.
If you find that you have to hire someone else to edit the
final product to taste, then either you will have failed to
pay your writer well, you will have failed to communicate
with your writer well, or you will have done a terrible job
in selecting the most appropriate writer for your job.
When all is said and done, there are literally thousands of
people out there who try to pass themselves off as professional
writers, and then there are thousands more who are exceptional
writers who will be good for your tasks.
PRE-WRITTEN ARTICLES ARE ANOTHER GOOD OPTION
If you shop around, you can find companies that offer pre-written
articles that you can purchase full- or partial- rights to use
for your purposes. Some companies will sell the same pre-written
article to dozens of people, and some companies will sell one
article to only one person.
The primary advantage in buying a pre-written article is that you
will not have to suffer the process of selecting and employing
the right ghost writer for your task. With a pre-written article
catalog, you can go in and look at articles that have already
been written, and if you like it, you can buy it on the spot.
Most often, pre-written articles are a lower cost option than
having articles custom written for you.

Boom! How & Why Internet Marketers Are Discovering MSI Sonic Memo & How It Can Benefit You

“How & Why Internet Marketers Are Discovering MSI Sonic Memo & How This Featured Program Has Been Proven To Make Your Audio & Video Streaming Media Made Easy & Fun.”
Are you craving for a new way to increasing your conversion ratio and build up credibility like a booming blast on the Internet as a result?
It’s unbelievable how technology changes rapidly from one moment to the next. Listen, I breathe the same oxygen as you and there is no difference between you and me besides our characters and beliefs.
I also feel there is no reason why you should not be able to find hidden treasure boxes of information the way I do. “X” marks the spot, remember that.
It’s unbelievable when you’re looking for reliable audio or video streaming media tools and you just can’t seem to find the right one or somehow it disappeared from the tool shed.
Like anything else in this world, things are based on theory and personal preference. I’ve recently made a wild discovery and in this article I’m going to tell it to you.
Don’t you think about when people are visiting your web site what they notice first and wonder why people buy from you? It’s because people are tired of seeing text, pictures, links, banners and flashy stuff which just gets them dizzy. It becomes too mind boggling.
You might as well put your head through a concrete wall and forget about the Tylenol. Since urban technology is growing so fast each day, more and more people are jumping onto the Internet playing with different forms of software.
Here’s what I mean in a nut shell;
Your web site should have some type of audio or video streaming method letting people know who you are, how you sound, and what type of tonality you speak with when presenting your products. This is usually done through your sales campaigns.
It’s those unique visitors you want to know you exist. There are millions of computer users all over the world. You should take advantage of those computers. As a result, your credibility is either a dead duck with no quack or a live chicken wing with fluttering feathers.
After all the time and money you’ve invested into your website attempting to increase your conversion ratio, its peak has not yet set.
You must have patience grasshopper. No worries, MSI Sonic Memo have been a GIANT plus (+) when it comes to spicing up the livelihood of your site. This tool will increase traffic which then leads into sales.
Let me explain something; every little tool you come across isn’t necessarily the tool you need to build your brick house. Although, certain tools combined together can be quite helpful.
You’d be in trouble if it weren’t for bricks and cement. Web sites on the Internet would look like a straw house. Oh wait, there still are a few straw houses on the net, but remember it’s never too late unless you make it late for yourself.
When was the last time you made any changes to your web site and brought your ideas to a whole other level? There are portals throughout the nets misty fogs which lead you into new marketing dimensions.
And so on…
You have to be hungry in order to fill your stomach, otherwise you can forget about being healthy on the Internet.
There are some neat things you can do with either video or audio streaming.
Video streaming allows you promote yourself as if you’re on your very own infomercial. Now you can act as if you’re on T.V. and promote your goods live.
Audio streaming constructs your radio like sub-station for others to hear and listen to you speak. I recommend these methods as a thrust of super force to your business.
Just imagine if you put those ideas into sixth (6th) gear, how profitable would that be? How good would that velocity feel? This would be an idea zapped from inside the brainstorming box. There’s nothing like marketing yourself throughout the many forms of exposure that lay out there in the outer space of marketing.
Now is the time to start putting these methods into motion. I strongly suggest you examine this entire matter into further detail and seek for yourself.
All I can do is recommend my personal preferences to you. The golden rod is in front of your eyes, now take it and run with it.

For the past decade, long distance phone service has been an incredibly competitive market, but not everybody wants to pay to have full-time long distance in their home or business. This is where the phone card comes in. One of the biggest advantages to prepaid calling cards is that you only pay for the minutes you use. So, instead of paying a monthly fee plus a per-minute rate, you pay just a per-minute rate. Even better, that per-minute rate is often lower than anything you can get using your home or business phone line. You can also purchase additional minutes by phone or on the Internet, which provide added convenience to prepaid phone card users. calling card

Audio Marketing Comes of Age: Educate First and Sales Will Follow

“Podcasting” is one of the newest and most popular marketing
formats that have taken a strong foothold on the internet over
the last several months. The word “podcasting” is actually a
derivative of Apple’s “iPod” and “broadcasting”. It actually
refers to the ability of RSS 2.0 to automatically deliver audio
and video files over the internet by subscription.
Often times, podcasts are actually delivered via MP3 files that
can be played from an iPod, a MP3 player, or a home computer.
You can learn more about this technology here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting

http://www.ipodder.org/whatIsPodcasting

http://www.itgarage.com/node/462

Ironically, a couple months ago, I had done a telephone
interview. All of the people listening to the show dialed up into
a remotely hosted phone bank to listen to the show. Although that
program was delivered through a standard telephone system, a
few listeners who later contacted me had said that he heard my
“podcast”. It seems a lot of people automatically applied that
term to the phone interview, although the interview was not
available in a computer format or even accessible from a
computer.
A BIG FAN OF TALK TELEVISION AND RADIO
I have always been a huge fan of talk radio and talk shows. I
still am.
When my wife is not in the room, I listen to lots of educational
television and political talk shows. When my wife is not in the
car, I primarily listen to AM radio. My primary focus in the car
is politics and news, unless it is late at night and then it is
Art Bell I listen to the most.
Of course, my wife hates that kind of thing, so that is why I
only listen to it when she is not around and when she is asleep.
I would rather enjoy the show than to listen to her nag about
why I listen to that “crap”.
LOOKING TO THE HORIZON
I have always felt that there would be a place in internet
marketing for content delivered via an audio format.
Back in early 2000, I had explored the possibility of bringing
some of my own content to the internet in a streaming audio
format. Unfortunately, at that time, I really did not have the
time or resources to seriously pursue the idea. I was forced to
shelf the idea in 2000, because of the high cost of the bandwidth
required for delivery of streaming audio programming via the
internet.
By the end of 2004, “podcasting” had come of age, and marketers
the world over were offering audio formatted business information
online. I guess that five years ago, I was just a bit ahead of
the curve.
AUDIO PROGRAMMING IS STILL A GOOD SELL
Like I mentioned before, a couple of months ago, I had done a
live telephone interview with a mentoring program, and we had
several hundred listeners to the program. From that one
interview, I managed to pick up a couple of thousand in new
business and several new and regular clients, and that was a
really small listening audience.
All I can say about that event is that it sold me on the idea
of using audio programming to sell my online services.
SOME PRODUCTS AND SERVICES CANNOT BE SOLD DOOR-TO-DOOR
I am in a unique business. Often times when I speak with people,
who are not running an online business, they will ask me what it
is that I do exactly. Here is where the challenge enters the
equation.
You may have never logged onto the internet or you may be a
regular internet user, but if you are not engaged in the business
of selling goods and services online, you may not understand my
service. I can’t tell you how often I talk to non-marketers and
get a blank stare when I try to explain my business to them. Even
my wife’s aunt and uncle get the “deer in the headlights look”
when I try to explain to them the nature of my business. He runs
a successful offline business, but it does not bring him any
closer to an understanding of my business model.
Many of you who know me, understand precisely what it is that I
do and can understand why I make a good living doing it. You can
understand the value offered to my clients through my business
model.
Those of you who don’t know me do need to understand a bit more
about me before I continue.
At this very moment, you are either looking at someone’s website
or reading their online newsletter, and you are reading this
article that I have made available for free to publishers and
webmasters.
In this article, it is my goal first to educate you about
something of interest to “you”. My hope is that when you get to
the end of the article, you will be quite taken with me, and you
will want to know more about me. Then, when you read the About
the Author information at the bottom of this article, and you
will visit my website and review my products and services with
interest.
That makes sense, right? You have come farther than most people
I talk to about my business model.
With my primary service, I am the “go-to man” for getting your
articles delivered to the highest numbers of publishers and
webmasters who are interested in finding content that they can
use with their ezines and websites.
EDUCATE FIRST, AND SALES WILL FOLLOW
When using free-reprint articles to market your online business,
you are often more successful in getting your article reprinted
and in getting traffic to your website, if you take the attitude
of educating your reader above all else. If you get lost on the
idea that you are using this promotion method to promote your
business, then you will have missed the key to your success.
Remember what I said above, “it is my goal first to educate you
about something of interest to you.” You are the reader, and
you will only be willing to read what I have written, if I am
providing information to you that is of interest to “you”.
Many marketers make the mistake of thinking their article is
intended to sell their products or services, instead of
themselves.
When you are willing to address the concerns of the reader above
all else, then you will have provided a service of value to your
reader. In doing so, you sell your reader on “you”. And, your
About the Author information serves as the teaser/lead/ad to take
your reader to your website, where you will get the chance to
sell your reader on your business, products and services.
Educate your reader first, and sales will follow.
This system works for hundreds of my clients and for myself.
THE LONG FORM, PERSONAL, INTERVIEW
When most people think about radio advertising, they think about
30-second and 60-second ads. This is fine for people who sells
cars, hot tubs, groceries, and other products that are already
well-understood by the listening audience.
But, if your business were like mine — difficult for the
average person to understand, then a 30- or 60-second radio
spot would be a total waste of your advertising budget!
On the other hand, it would be different if I could get 15, 30
or 60 minutes to explain to my listeners what my business is and
how it would be beneficial for the listener to use it for the
promotion of their own business, then I would have a good chance
of getting my listener’s business.
In my phone interview, we actually spent one hour and twenty
minutes talking, and that interview generated a couple thousand
dollars in new business. It was the most profitable one hour and
twenty minutes I had ever spent.
Can you imagine how much more business I would have picked up if
the audience were coast-to-coast, and I was reaching hundreds of
thousands of listeners instead of hundreds of listeners? And, can
you imagine how much more business I could have generated from
that interview, if it had been simulcast live on the internet and
archived in MP3 format for me to make available later to visitors
to my website?
I can imagine… That is why I got so excited when I was able to
strike a deal with a nationally known, radio personality to make
this kind of service available to my clients. To learn more about
this opportunity to promote your business through a nationally
syndicated, business radio talk show, using the long form
interview, then continue reading here:

How Do Jay Abraham?s Fundamental Truths for Increasing Your Profits and Audio Tie Together? – Part 2

Let’s recap. In part 1 of this article, we touched on the three ways to increase your profits; through your marketing, your products and your back-end. We also explained how audio could be used effectively to increase all of them.
So what’s the bottom line here? Well, Jay Abraham teaches that if you can increase each of the three components we discussed by a small amount (even just 10%), you will see an exponential increase in your profit.
To really get your attention, let me ask you this. Do you think adding an entirely new dimension to your marketing, your products and your back-end has a 10% limit? What if you could really master the art of incorporating effective audio (and don’t forget, once you’ve mastered that, there’s video too) into your products and your marketing strategies?
Here, let’s break it down into numbers. Suppose you have 50 new customers purchase your $47 ebook every month. That’s $2,350 in average monthly sales. Not bad. You only have the one product (for now) and haven’t yet implemented any back-end strategies so you know things can only get better.
Next, you learn how to make your own audio. You create an audio marketing message and see a 10% increase in sales conversion (remember that people have claimed to actually see a 300% increase so 10% is um, well, a little low). Now you sell to 55 customers every month. You also record your ebook and add in an audio interview, which you distribute along with your original ebook file for $97 (that’s a very reasonable mark-up). So that’s 55 x $97 = $5,335. You are now selling $5,335 of products every month. You’ve more than doubled your income.
Like I’ve mentioned before, the best part is that once you get the audio recorded and set-up on your site, there is no extra work. As you can see, the time and cost of learning how to create audio files can more than pay for itself.
In our imaginary scenario, you’re selling $64,020 worth of your ebook/audio set yearly. Imagine if you got really smart and added in a back-end marketing system? Now imagine what would happen if you used an audio sales message to help market these additional products? In all likelihood, you could expect an exponential explosion of profits.
For those of you just starting out, mastering audio (even just the marketing aspect of it) could very well be the difference between failure and success.
Just imagine how you can incorporate audio into your marketing, your products and your back-end. What will that mean for your profits?
…I’d guess that your profits will only go up!

How Do Jay Abraham?s Fundamental Truths for Increasing Your Profits and Audio Tie Together? – Part 1

Should I refresh your memory about what Jay Abraham teaches?
One of the fundamental truths according to Mr. Abraham is that a business can only grow in three ways:
1. By increasing the number of customers (we’ll refer to this as your marketing strategy).
2. By increasing the product’s price (we’ll refer to this as… well, your product).
3. By increasing the number of times a customer purchases from you (we’ll refer to this as your back-end).
So, what is the connection between multimedia, specifically audio, and maximizing the three ways to grow your business; i.e. your marketing strategy, your product and your back-end?
Just keep reading…
» Audio can be used as a creative marketing strategy. People are sensory creatures. A simple yet effective audio message can help you create a better connection with your prospects. This connection may lead to an increase in your sales conversion rate. That means more money for you.
It’s a proven fact people are more likely to remember what they both read and hear. Therefore, an audio message along with your copy will really help deliver a powerful message (and for that matter, so will an appropriate and well positioned video clip).
» Audio will help increase the perceived value of your product. Adding audio mp3 files to your existing ebook (or the one you were planning to write) can easily double the perceived value of your product. Best of all, once you’ve recorded and uploaded mp3 files to your download page, you are finished. Even better yet, if you sell a tangible information course, adding audio CD’s with the package will greatly increase the perceived value of your product.
» Audio can help your back-end sales in two ways. For one, you may offer related products like an audio CD or an mp3 download to your current customers.
And this can be done no matter what type of product you are selling. If it is a tangible item that requires some skill, why not record an instructive guide for how to use it?
You don’t even have to write anything at all if you don’t want. Simply set-up an interview with someone knowledgeable in your niche and record away. Can you see how your product will create itself for you?
You can also use an audio marketing campaign to help increase your conversion rate for any affiliate products you offer (or should be offering) as a back-end to your customers. Virtually no one records an audio message for affiliate products. No one wants to work that hard! Imagine what could happen if you give it a try?

Make Your Website Talk

Have you noticed the latest online craze? No, it’s
not how to make a million dollars overnight, although
that idiotic idea is still floating around… It’s
adding voice to your website. “Ma Bell” meets
the Internet, so to speak. If you spend any amount of
time online I’m sure you’ve seen a number of sites
employing this technology.
So who’s behind this phenomenon and what’s the benefit
of adding voice to your website? I’m so glad you
asked. In the cold, impersonal world of the Net,
your voice adds a touch of warmth and personalization
that can increase credibility, thus raising your conversion
rate. Sound good? (No pun intended.) Of course it
does.
So now that you’re considering adding the sweet sound
of your voice to your site, where might you want to
use it? Depending on your website’s content and theme,
there are a variety of ways to incorporate your voice
into it. For example:
- You might place a welcome message on your front
page, summarizing your site’s highlights, informing
visitors of what they’ll find, and thanking them for
stopping by.
- If you have an “about us” page on your site, you
might want to record a brief message to accompany
your background info. This will help people feel
as if they’re actually meeting you.
- Since testimonials are a great enhancement to
any site imagine if you actually added them in
your customer’s own voice. If you use one of the
phone recording services you could give them the
number and they could easily record how they feel
about your products/services.
- If your site has been featured in an online
interview or radio show, imagine including this
audio in our site. Just think of it as your very own live
press room.
One thing to consider is the quality of your voice.
If it’s not all that pleasant to listen to,
you may want to employ the help of a
friend, or you could hire a “professional” voice-over
service. Do a search at Google and you’ll find
plenty of options. One such service is

Change Your Voice Digitally

Most of us may have the idea of disguising our voice once in a while for some purpose, especially small kids. Today, a wide range of voice changing tools are developed, both for kids and business purposes. Simple ones are masks for kids that can change voice to some other voices, and a small box used for mobile phones which can switch among 4-6 voices or so.
Digital voice changers make a great step further. Any voice or sound that goes through a computer can be changed dramatically thanks to the voice changing software, i.e. voice chat, IP phoning, computer recording, music playing, internet streaming,… There are more great possibilities you might want to discover:
Change voice freely by adjusting voice values. Some voice changing software can change voice by adjusting voice pitch rather than choosing among a limited number of voices. Voice Changer Software (www.audio4fun.com) provides more adjusting possibilities: voice pitch, voice timbre, and voice frequency.
Change voice in real time. Perhaps the coolest function of voice changer software is that it can change voice right a way. Speak to the microphone and you may laugh the first time hearing your strange voice. Chat addicts now can have tons of fun: they can disguise themselves in voice chat.
Change any audio that goes through the computer. If you want to change voice or audio that is played or recorded from an audio device, say, a CD/DVD/karaoke machine, then all you need to do is to get it lined in to your computer and voice changer software will do its part.
Fake identity? So far Avnex, the author company of Voice Changer Software, claims this possibility as an advanced achievement in voice manipulation, although there are still many different opinions on the morality of its applications. So if you can fake someone’s voice, what do you think you would do with it?

Country code Each country is associated with a two- or three-digit code. When dialing
outside of North America, you will dial 011 + the country code + the city code +
the local phone number. An example of a country code is 91, the code used to reach
someone in India. If you are in North America and want to reach someone in Bombay,
India, you would dial 011 + 91 + 22 (the city code for Bombay), then the local number.

Discover How Your Voice Can Increase Your Website Profits 500%

Are you reaching your customers personally and generating sales and repeat customers as a result? No matter how good your web graphics are, or how interesting your sales copy is, nothing can compare to hearing a real voice while looking at the photo of the person speaking to you.
In the world of online marketing, credibility is key to getting customers to buy. Most people are hesitant to pay for services or products from a nameless person they don’t know, and whose voice they’ve never heard. When you add your voice to your web site, your customers can connect with you on a more personal level and overcome one of the biggest barriers to buying online. This will always have the advantage over “cold” marketing techniques such as static pictures and text.
If you thought that recording audio files for your site has to be difficult, expensive or involves monthly fees, think again. You need to read the information below, because it could change the way you market online forever.
If your site doesn’t have audio, it’s going to be outdated soon. Maxtor Corporation and TrendFocus recently did a study of why the demand for larger hard-drives in computers is increasing at unheard of rates in recent years. The biggest factor? People want space for audio and video files, and computers that can hear them. People are looking for increased media when they go online-and computer sales trends are reflecting this.
They also predicted that while most web sites today use text and graphics, consumer trends are showing that in the very near future, online shopping will be propelled by increasing amounts of audio and visual features. The ecommerce and marketing site that fails to offer these features to an increasingly multi-media hungry audience will be left behind.

An MP3 Download Trick that Works

You signed up for a teleseminar and ended up missing it. Dang!
But the hosts recorded it. Yah!
They sent you an email message that says “Go here now and listen to the call in its entirety. BUT the web link in the email message points direct to the MP3 file and your browser’s protesting. Dang again.
The message you’ve received looks something like…
“You can download and listen to the call to find out our exact secrets. Go here now:

http://www.some-guru-site.com/teleseminar-recording.htm”

Have you ever attempted to use the “right-click / save as” convention on a link in an email message? It just don’t work.
Why do marketers do this? Are they trying to make it difficult to download and pass an MP3 file around? Did they just have a lazy attack?
It doesn’t matter why because you can get around this nuisance. It’s really easy.
Do this:
(1) Open a new blank web page document using your favorite HTML editor.
(2) Go back to the email message and copy the web link that points to the MP3 file.
(3) Flip back over to your HTML editor, paste the link into the source code of your blank web page document and format it properly as you would any other target URL. Following this procedure, your link will have a formatting something like this (Note – the beginning and ending anchor tags here have an extra “.”):

http://www.some-guru-site.com/teleseminar-recording.htm

(4) Now, still in your HTML editor, go to “Preview” mode. Your link is fully functional and now you can use the conventional “Right-Click / Save As” function to start the file download just as if the teleseminar host had sent you to a download page online.
That’s it. That’s all there is to our little MP3 file download trick. Save this article in your “sneaky computer tricks” file and next time you find yourself fighting with your web browser to access an MP3 audio file, it works slick as a snail trail.
