Biz Tips Blog: Online Marketing, Visibility and Business Blogging Tips

Start Blogging Now!

I just posted a free audio program on Build a Better Blog, about why professionals should consider using a blog as part of their marketing mix.  If you're still on the fence, take some time to listen to the audio.  You'll get some good insights about how a blog can help take your business to the next level.

Maybe it's right for you and your business, and maybe not.  And, the more information you have about business blogging, the better decision you can make about whether or not to implement a blogging strategy.

Audio Post - Crash Course in Publicity

This is an audio post direct from the Crash Course in Publicity with Jill Lublin - July 22, 2005.  In this post I tell you about a very effective networking tip that we did during our lunch break.

The next networking event you attend, ask someone:

"What do you need for your business in the next 30 days?"

"How can I help?"

You may have a solution for the person and any time you give, you also will receive.

Cool Resource: Royalty Free Music

If you're producing podcasts or delivering any audio content, you can get royalty free music for intros and outros at MusicBakery.com. While the files are not free, there are hundreds of categories and styles to choose from. You can get clips that are only a few seconds up to a few minutes. A 10-15 second clip is $19.99 and is perfect as an intro to your podcast. You can use it over and over so it's not a bad price to pay to spice up and professionalize (is that a word?) your podshows.

UPDATE:

From a reader...

Another outstanding royalty free solution is shockwave-sound.com. Most of the music sounds like it was created by real musicians instead of the canned stuff commonly found in royalty free packages. You can also totally free sound effects and music beds at The Freesound Project http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/
