Your Online Business and Streaming Audio

After creating your online business, you may consider adding audio to your website or blog apart from using simply images and text message. Visitors to your site could possibly favor something more than merely reading material content on your website or blog.

Streaming audio effectively increases customer interaction. It improves the chances of turning potential clients into paying customers. Streaming audio clips integrated all over your site usually act to emphasize your product's usefulness to your customers. You can accompany an audio version to your downloadable e-product as a bonus or sell it on its own. Even audio customer testimonials can be included on top of the traditional written testimonials to help persuade your web visitors to purchase your products.

Streaming audio permits you to hear the audio files instantly before the file is downloaded completely. Streaming audio plays best with a continuous high-speed connection. Heavy traffic on that connection can disrupt the audio sometimes and it will only resume till the bandwidth of the network can contain it. Hence, the surfer's internet connection speed is vital and so is the size of the file. If your audio files are relatively big, you will require more hosting charges. You have to consider the price, disks space, bandwidth, reliablility and speed offered by streaming audio hosting companies before deciding which to hire.

You can also sign up with an internet radio station, embedding your site with its link. Some of the more well-known internet radio stations are pandora, slacker and grooveshark. Each time your site is frequented, you will provide your visitors with new audio content. This content is being updated by the radio station, with no effort on your part. Nowadays, with the latest iphone apps surfacing in the market, internet radio stations serve more small business audience. For example, your cellphone permits mp3 and podcasts that carry commercials selling products and services.

Another way is to stream music via organizing playlists. M3u files are playlist files, not actual music files themselves. They contain a list of music files. You can open and edit a file using notepad. If you are unsure, get some assistance from your programmers to link your songs in the playlist in your site. Your site's visitor can then listen to your songs or recordings one after another, buffered, streamed and played upon browsing your site.

You may stream your own mp3s recordings or music too. Ensure that you get the necessary permit to utilise this kind of streaming since the mp3 files can be downloaded.

Streaming audio will be advantageous to your internet enterprise if you have selected the ideal music, songs or recordings that can boost your revenue. Do some testing and fine-tuning to pick the right ones that best match your business. You cannot afford to lose your customers by playing audio files that are not favored by your potential clients.

How to Use Audio in Business

As an online business owner you have probably heard others using audio to add another layer to their businesses. They may have an online radio show, a podcast, audio products, or host teleseminars. These are all great ways to use audio in your business model.

The good news is using audio in your business doesn't have to be difficult and it can not only add just another layer to your business, but also another revenue stream as well. That's even better, right?

As I mentioned there are several options for using audio in business. These include:

An online radio show. Websites like Blog Talk Radio and Talkshoe allow you to host your own live radio show and invite your listeners to hop online and chat with you via a chat room. What a great way to not only share audio with your listeners but to also interact and communicate with them as well.

A podcast. A podcast is similar to an online radio show, however it is recorded, saved, shared and can then be listened to at your listener's convenience. It can even be downloaded to their computer or MP3 player for listening at their convenience, wherever they are. Podcasts can actually be created from your online radio show recordings and are a great additional layer to put into place.

Audio products. You may have been wondering when the revenue stream was going to be mentioned. Well, here you have it, an audio product. Audio products are easy to create and can be a great source of additional income for your business. Recording a series of audios and packaging them with some written materials can create for you a strong information product.

A teleseminar. A strong list-builder for your business is a teleseminar. The strategy used with a teleseminar is offering it for free in exchange for a listener's name and email address. They are then sent the information about the free call and can call in to listen. The teleseminar can be recorded and the recording can be offered for free or as a paid audio after the live event.

Are you ready to start using audio in your business? Don't be shy, it can be fun and profitable.
