What is a 'Podcast Showcase' and why is it very important to have one working for you?

A Podcast Showcase is one of the most credible and effective marketing tools ever developed for expanding your personal and professional profile, marketing reach, and revenues.

A Podcast Showcase is an extremely professional, highly polished, specially designed audio interview  that totally focuses on YOU and YOUR MESSAGE.

After production our marketing team places your Podcast Showcase in front of more than 50,000 people gaining you valuable exposure so vital for  today's highly competitive environment.

A Podcast Showcase establishes and builds relationship faster than any newsletter or webpage because it providing much richer and more meaningful information. It holds potential customers on your site longer and converts more of them into clients.

Hello folks… Allan Hunkin here.

As many of you know, I am a speaker, writer and professional broadcaster who has conducted over 750 interviews with such people as Alan Alda, William Shatner, Ken Blanchard, Mark Victor Hansen and many more.

For most of the last ten years I have been almost exclusively on contract to major publishers like Random House, Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins to name just a few.

I interview leaders from the business and public sectors as well as authors, coaches and others involved in social sciences. In short, I offer a unique platform for people who are contributing to make this world a better place.

Having been a speaker for many years on psychology and peak potential I deliver a much more comprehensive interview than most talk hosts can provide.

How the Podcast Showcase was Developed

Over the past two years my team and I developed, what we call the "Podcast Showcase." It combines a radio style interview with the unique communication characteristics of New Media and other proprietary methods we have learned from producing and promoting hundreds of interviews since 1997.

A Podcast Showcase has subtle differences in format, style and pacing making it more effective at showcasing you and your message in the best possible light.

We then integrated a number of 21st Century marketing methods to provide a larger number of potential listeners.

Expanded Capabilities and Reduced Cost Provide a Unique Opportunity

Recently, we developed some new systems and processes to automate parts of the pre-production, marketing and promotional elements we include in each Podcast Showcase. This has resulted in reducing our costs.

Now, for the first time, we are offering you a signature Podcast Showcase for a fee unheard of a year ago.

You receive the same professionally produced Podcast Showcases that we have provided exclusively to major publishers for the past 12 years.

Your Podcast Showcase Package includes:

In The Pre-Production Phase

Upon booking, we send you an interview preparation document with a comprehensive checklist designed to assist you in identifying 4 to 6 key points you require to be included to produce the most effective Podcast possible.

The Interview Phase

I personally conduct the interview. Don’t worry if this is your first time. I have worked with hundreds of "first time guests." You will find my easy going, conversational style makes you feel comfortable right away.

The interview is not conducted live so we can do retakes until you get what you want to say exactly right.

The interview is not scripted. My team develops the questions and bridges from the information you provide and from my own research for the interview.

We require you for up to 45 minutes on the phone to conduct the interview. After editing we will end up with 15-20 minutes of highly polished content for the final master.

Remember, the best person in the world to convey the true essence of your message is You. Your Podcast Showcase will assist you in accomplishing this and more.

Marketing and Promoting Your Podcast

At Podcast.Biz we don't just produce the audio file and leave you to attract listeners.

First we send you a shortened URL which goes directly to  the audio file hosted on our enterprise level servers for you to use in your newsletter and/or email signature file.

Then we write a description of your Podcast Showcase which includes your name, brand, and a direct link to the Podcast Showcase located on your website.

To set in motion the marketing of your Podcast Showcase we then post this promotion to multiple directories, websites and Blogs on the Internet including:

  • The Podcasts For Living podcast on ITunes

  • The main page of Podcasts.com for 45 days

  • The Podcasts For Living Facebook Page

  • The Podcasts For Living Blog (Your Podcast Showcase will be listed in Google and searchable within a few days after the marketing phase has begun)

  • Yahoo, MSN and Directories and Search Engines

  • The Success Talk Channels, a 45 audio channel Network where your Podcast Showcase will be featured on the front page of the 3 most relevant channels for 45 days. (Over 90,000 exposures)

  • A news feed broadcast to our 5,000 Fans and Friends on Facebook.

  • A Ping.Fm broadcast to Twitter and over 20 other Social Networks that we are listed on including MySpace

  • Your website, distribution lists and signature file

You can also expect that your Podcast Showcase will be passed along by listeners to their friends who they think will benefit from listening.

The Fees for Creating, Producing and Marketing

For the past dozen years our retail rate for producing individual Podcast Showcase was $1,500. Publishers received a contract rate at $750 for guaranteeing a minimum number of interviews per month.

The interview is still labor intensive because of the 'in person' interview requirement and the minute by minute editing process, which must be done by hand and cannot be automated.

Our new automated system reduces labor both in the pre and post production stages and allows us to reduce our fee to $450.

You can have your own Podcast Showcase
for even less. READ ON.

A Further Innovation

The other day one of our team asked a brilliant question:

"What if we could reduce the time and costs in securing new clients in the first place?"

We knew, from many years of experience, that people who listened to our Showcases became some of our best clients.

After brainstorming for awhile we realized that if our clients referred prospective clients to us and we systemize that process we could reduce our fee even more.

Save $200 today!

For a limited time we are willing to test this idea out and reduce your Podcast Showcase even more.

If you simply provide us with the name and email address of 10 people who you know personally and might be interested in having their own Podcast Showcase we will reduce our fee to $250 saving you another $200.

Be assured that we will only mail these referrals twice. Once explaining that you referred them to this invitation including a link to this page. The second mailing will be after your Podcast Showcase is in the marketing and promotion phase. We will provide them with a link to your Podcast Showcase so they can listen and decide for themselves. No one will ever call them without an invitation and we will not provide their email address to anyone for any reason ever.

NOTE: We are limiting our allotment to two Podcast Showcases per day for this limited time offer.

100% Guarantee

We have been in business since 1997 and have never had to offer a refund yet so your Podcast Showcase comes with a 100% money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied.

The All Important Larger Picture “WHY"

If you’ve read this far you know what we do and how we do it. But, why should you have this professional interview podcast produced, distributed and promoted for you?

We all know the Internet is a game changer but people often miss how much of a game changer it actually is in relation to your selling proposition.

We now live in a world that is flat. (ironic eh?)

By flat I mean that everything we would ever want is available, all the time, from multiple sources. We have no way of gaining advantage from scarcity, specialness or geographic proximity. Therefore the ways we marketed and sold products in the paste no longer applies.

In the 20the Century the mantra for Success was:

“Location, Location, Location"

Today, what's all important to your Success is:

Profile, Profile. Profile

You’re largest marketing investment must be in building and expanding your personal and professional Profile. People and Opportunities, you would have never known existed, actively begin to seek you out.

Another example; If you aren’t listed in Google you for all intent and purposes simply don’t exist. And the more times you are listed the more likely you get the attention of buyers. (A search on my name in Google yields 90,600 listings.)

A Podcast Showcase will result in several listings in Google and other search engines.

A Podcast Showcase is one of the most cost effective ways of expanding your profile because it is so much more personal. People hear your voice, which establishes a relationship with them. They will subconsciously recognize  your sincerity passion about what you do, which establishes and builds trust. By the time they contact you they feel they already know you better than other people that provide the same kind of product or service.

And the interview is available throughout the Internet and to your websites visitors and prospects for months or years. It keeps working for you 24/7.

Why Audio versus Video?

We get asked this a lot and we continue to see proof that audio is the best for this kind of marketing.

With audio the pictures don’t get in the way. People get to fill in the pictures themselves which makes them personalize your product or service sooner. You might be able to display your product better on video but people will “feel” more with audio and feelings sell because people make an emotional decision first and then back it up with logic.

You can’t watch a video in your car on the way to work. (at least you shouldn’t) Prospects can download your audio to their cell phone or Ipod and it with them to listen while their exercising, sitting on a park bench or driving to work.

The cost of producing an audio is several times less than video and takes a lot less time and effort.
