The Ten Commandments To Creating Amazing Audio Products

Author : John Kiel
1.Thou shall create audio products as the fastest way to come out with a product.Forget about e-books. They take to long to create especially if you're a slooooow typist. You can create an audio product in a day instead of weeks or months with an e-book. If you must create an e-book, do the audio first and have someone transcribe the audio into a word file. You than clean it up and add some chapter heads and an index and Bam! You have an instant e-book2.Thou shall use a headset microphone for your recordings.I find that using a headset mic is a lot more versatile than a standard microphone. A headset mic gives you the freedom to move your head around and you don't feel restricted as far as being positioned in front of a table top mic.3.Thou shall not be afraid to record your voice.Many people hate the way they sound on tape (me included) and feel that they cannot put together a "Professional" product. The first time you hear yourself on tape you are just going to die. It takes practice to actually speak properly. You get struck by the dreaded Uh and Um syndrome and the monotone voice virus but take heart …you can do this. Slow down and concentrate on what you're saying and interject some emphasis and pitch changes to your voice. Bottom line…add some personality.I'll admit I'm no professional speaker myself… It takes practice and you will get better.Here are a couple books you might want to check out:
The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking by Dale Carnegie
Secrets of Successful Speakers: How You Can Motivate, Captivate, and Persuade by Lilly Walters4.Thou shall add intro and outro music to your audiosIf you really want to add a professional polish to your products you must add the intro and outro music. You know that cool music you hear at the beginning of the audio just before someone starts the introduction.You could give this site a try: frontandbackmusic.com for some demos.5.Thou shall use different formats for your audio info productA couple of ways to create an audio product is to interview someone over the phone and record it or just do a straight forward gab session on your own. To keep it simple when I'm recording on my own, I write down some bullet points to use as memory joggers to keep me on track during the recording sessions. Also, when using the computer software it allows you to pause so you can get your thoughts together and then just restart the recording process without a skip.6.Thou shall use different listening formats for your audio product.When distributing your audios you have different formats to choose from. You can use .wav, .mp3, .ram files. Wave files take up the most space and are megabyte hogs. Mp3 and ram (real player files) take up the least amount of space and are good for streaming audio on the web. If you are distributing your audio on CD it is best to use wav. That way you will be able to listen to them in any CD player. Here is a little warning when recording your audio projects. Be aware of the space you have on your hard drive. A two hour recording session will take up to 1.3 gigabytes of space in wav. I like to record and edit in smaller intervals and burn them to a CD-RW just to get them off my hard drive.7.Thou shall use cheap resources for your audio.I get all my bubble pack shippers and CD cases off of Ebay. They have some great deals. I get my CD's duplicated at Diskfaktory.com because they can run small quantities of 50. I wouldn't get any more made until you know you have a winner.8.Thou shall have fun when creating your audio productsI have to say I really enjoy the creation process and it's really neat when you go to record a product and can play it back and listen to it on the fly. You get a sense that this thing is really coming together. And when you add the music you really get a sense of satisfaction. Creating audio is really instant gratification when it comes to creating info products. I love it…As of this writing, I'm working with my wife on a product and I'm interviewing her and we are having a blast. She makes mistakes and I make them and we just sit there and laugh. My wife has the UH and UM syndrome so we are trying to get cured of that… But the point is that we are having a good time.Quick Tip: I use a splitter to add two microphones to my computer. You need to raise the volume to get it normalized.9.Thou shall build a audio information empireIf you really want to get a jump start in the information product business this is the easiest and funniest way to do it. As fast as you can record and edit these things the faster you can crank them out and start making some money. Also audio CD and tapes have a higher perceived value and you can get more for them then by just selling an e-book.10.Thou shall learn what software to use for your audios.Software can be expensive. Many of the gurus recommend Sounforge but I prefer a program from Cakewalk called Plasma. This software is half the price of Soundforge and is very versatile.Well there you have it. Some good tips to get you started on building your audio empire.Happy Recording,John Kiel(c)2005 John KielIf you're looking to take a shortcut and you would like me to take you by the hand and show you all the tricks to record audio products, add audio to the web, and record telephone conversations then my new video and audio tutorial course is for you. I even throw in 5 software programs to launch your audio business and at a price you will not believe.Go now to http://www.audioproductsmadeeasy.com

Upload the sound file, the website, and your done!Audio can Increase Conversion RatesIf you are going to use audio clips for the affiliate programs you?ve chosen to promote, you may very well find that using audio can definitely increase your conversion ratio. Keep your Audio file as small as possible. One important part for you to keep in mind is the size of your sound file, if the file is to large it will take ?forever? to download and the majority of web surfers are impatient. Try and keep your audio review to 60 seconds or under. This should allow your webpage and sound file to download at the same time.Keep in mind that you can place an audio clip on your site or inside an ebook, some people like audio some don?t.How Audio helps the visually impaired.It all depends on your preferences, one benefit of using audio on your site is to accomodate the visually impaired.

But like most other tasks in life, practice makes perfect.Audio-How is the file activated?There are a couple of ways in which your visitor can activate the audio on your site. One is by clicking on a link, the other involves placing a small amount of code on your site that automatically downloads everytime you get a visitor to the page you?ve placed the audio clip on.Audio-How about pop-up?s and popunders?You can also create pop-up?s or pop-unders with an audio clip that downloads as the pop-up or pop-under window activates when your visitor goes to exit your site.

What works for me may not necessarily work for you, but it never hurts to test. You won?t know until you try. Good luck, Brian.

Protect Your Older Loved Ones With A Senior Alarm

Author : Owen Walcher
A senior alarm is the best way to protect your older loved ones. This alarm is easy for them to use and creates an aura of safety around them that will help ease their mind, and yours, in terms of any emergency events or problems that could take place. Installing one is easy and there are a variety of options available for the type of alarm you may want to put in their home. There are also personal alarms available that can be kept on the person and used in case of emergencies or incidents that may be threatening to the health and welfare of your senior citizen loved ones. The senior alarm is specially designed to suit this purpose.Using one is easy for a senior because it has larger buttons and a large display that allows them to set the code for their home alarm or send an alert with their personal alarm. Learning the basics of both alarms can be helpful because it is never a certainty as to where or when a problematic situation could arise. A senior alarm can be the best case of prevention that you can offer to your older loved ones and can protect them in case of any emergency in which speed and accuracy is of the essence. A call is placed to the appropriate emergency services from the alarm and help will be on the way as soon as humanly possible.More Details On The AlarmWith a personal alarm, it functions a lot like a medical alert alarm and can serve the same purpose, too. It can be worn on the wrist or around the neck in the form of a bracelet or a necklace alert alarm. From this point, settings can be entered into the device that can make it a handy alarm that the senior can use for any purpose of emergency or problem. There are specifications in place that allow them to set the senior alarm to the position that best serves them. Some alarms have a voice activation system that can be turned on with a given verbal command.The home alarm, specially designed for seniors, is a valuable tool to use in the field of defending the home against intruders or directing a call directly to the emergency response teams that are needed. This senior alarm is easily set with a code and can be activated with a voice activation system as well, or can be set off should an intruder enter or any other emergency situations arise.Owen Walcher is a freelance writer, writing home security articles such as Personal Alarms Protect Your Loved Ones.

Adsense Success Tips

Author : Sam Nyasani
The scramble to make money from adsense is truly on. The internet is littered with information on how to make money with adsense. For those new to adsense and those who want to plunge into this business of making money with adsense, the single biggest challenge is how to scale and get over the mountain of information available and get the most helpful tips. I have searched the internet just to see what there is, but I can tell you that most of the information available on how to successfully make money with adsense is either too simplistic or unhelpful. So what should you look out for when starting an adsense campaign?Almost certainly, running a successful and profitable adsense campaign is complex than it has been portrayed. It is not true that all you need to do is sign up for an adsense account, get some code, paste it on your pages and sit back and wait for the money to start rolling in. If that is what you thought, you are in for a long and frustrating wait. The truth is that you are not going to make any money with adsense.To make the long story short, here are just a few of the most important things that constitute a successful adsense campaign.• Keywords/key phrases
• Content
• Visitors (traffic)
• Site optimization.
• LinksKeywords/Key Phrases.These are the terms that people use to search for information/products/services on the internet using search engines and directories. You need to use keywords or key phrases that will drive relevant traffic to your website. Search engines will use this plus your site's content to determine what ads to serve on your site. This is can also play a role in the indexing and ranking of your site by some search engines. Once again use relevant keywords or key phrases.Content.Very important for any successful adsense campaign. When setting up any website, you want it to rank high and so attract traffic. Search engines have become smarter in their indexing and ranking of websites. They want relevant and quality search results for their users. So of necessity, for any website to rank high, it must have relevant and quality content. Some people can manipulate this but be assured such sites don't rank highly for long. So you must have relevant and quality content. There are many sources for free and quality content on the internet.Traffic.For you to earn good money from adsense, you need traffic to your site. You can get this organically (from high ranking on search engines) or buy traffic. The former is the cheapest because it is free.Site optimization.This includes but not limited to proper use of titles, meta tags, keywords/key phrases, alt tags and relevant content. Avoid excessive the use of flash movies, java script, graphics and animations because search engines do not consider these. It can't be any clearer than that. Follow that cue and you should be alright.Links.Some search engines put a great deal of weight on the number of relevant links pointing to your site, the more, the better. Notice I said relevant links. So do yourself one big favour and I know for new websites it is not easy, find sites to link to you. Search engines consider more relevant incoming links to mean that your site is full of relevant content and that is why sites want to link to yours, naturally this is true. Here is what Google™ says, "PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important."For more information on how to make money with adsense go to http://www.mwagitaa.comSam Gitaa Nyasani runs the following websites

How to Jumpstart your Next Writing Session

&lt;b&gt;How to Jumpstart your Next Writing Session&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;by: &lt;b&gt;David Parton&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have always enjoyed writing. Sometimes it&amp;#8217;s a problem for me to just sit down and write something. There are days when I choose &amp;#8220;procrastinating&amp;#8221; over &amp;#8220;proactive.&amp;#8221; Putting things off is common with everyone. I am very gifted in this area. ;) &lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are 4 areas to focus on to jumpstart your next writing session.&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;li&gt;Concentration &lt;p&gt; &lt;li&gt;Preparation &lt;p&gt; &lt;li&gt;The First Word &lt;p&gt; &lt;li&gt;Use your notebook &lt;p&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Concentration:&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are way too many distractions. Cell phones ringing, blaring car alarms and unexpected visitors are just a few things that can disrupt your concentration. It then becomes easier to justify not writing today.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best thing to do to encourage creative writing is to make it a ritual. Find a nice spot to write, maybe, in a quiet room in your home where you will be left undisturbed for a period of time. Set a time to work; a scheduled time to write. Stick to it.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keep reference books and materials close to hand.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Focus on one idea at a time.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;View your next writing session as an opportunity; an opportunity to do something you enjoy. It can be fun. And when you are having fun nobody ever has to tell you to &amp;#8220;concentrate!&amp;#8221;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Preparation&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you have your topic: Google it. Read everything you can online and offline related to your idea. Search the net for testimonials, reviews and articles about your topic. Brainstorm related sub-topics.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Give it a rest. Let your subconscious mind percolate and play with the information you provided. Get some exercise. Some of my best ideas come to me while I am out walking around in the evening.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Getting Started&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where to begin? That blank page staring back can be intimidating.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just dive right in there!&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Type the word &amp;#8220;The.&amp;#8221;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Type the next word (the first thing that pops into your mind) and the next word.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At this point, quality is not important. You just want to create a &amp;#8220;flow&amp;#8221; where the words come easily.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#8217;t stop to edit. Save all your corrections for the second draft. Resist the impulse to rewrite. That will only interrupt the flow and is another way to avoid the task at hand.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are like me you will have a 2nd, third and fourth draft. You have to get your first draft completed before your have anything to rewrite! Stay focused.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carry a Notebook&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a creative writer, you will be &amp;#8220;hit&amp;#8221; by odd ideas and notions in the oddest of places.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maybe you are stuck in traffic or brushing your teeth when inspiration strikes.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You could wake from a dream and have a killer idea.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220; I&amp;#8217;ll remember that.&amp;#8221; We say to ourselves, but when next we write there is no access to that memory file.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just use a notebook. Jot those things down as they come to you. It only takes a moment.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Capture all your of your ideas as they transpire. Who knows? One of them may be the &amp;#8220;Next Big Thing!&amp;#8221;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- David Parton&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About The Author&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;David Parton&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now You can Expand your Opportunities with FREE Tips &amp; Resources about Affiliate Marketing, Making Money from Home, Website Development &amp; Self-improvement for Both Sides of Your Brain!

Lipid Functions

Author : Dr. Randy Wysong

It can be argued that lipids may be the most important of all dietary constituents since they are required in the highest levels, aside from water, in every living cell. Lipids are a concentrated source of energy providing more than double the amount on a per-weight basis than that contained in either carbohydrates or proteins. They help maintain body temperature through both their insulating effects and the heat generated from their oxidation. They also physically protect and insulate nerves and cushion other tissues and organs.But the effects of lipids are far more profound and far-reaching than these rather simple and well known functions. They are not just fuel to be burned and padding for tissue; they can also be dynamic, complex metabolic biochemicals that enter into an extremely wide range of important physiologic pathways. They are part of glandular secretions, they help muscles recover, they are necessary for growth, tissue repair, and reproduction. They help create culinary interest, provide satiety, carry fat soluble vitamins, are a part of hormones, and they can affect blood clotting, inflammation, respiration, susceptibility to and recovery from disease. (Fig. 1)Clinically, fatty acids are becoming more and more important. Their deficiency, absence, alteration, or imbalance is now related to cardiovascular disease, arthritis, cancer, headaches, hypertension, autoimmune disease, muscular sclerosis, psoriasis, lupus, diabetes, and various other wide-ranging free radical and fatty degenerative diseases.1-5 Lipids serve as important substrates and modulators throughout the body and thus can potentially affect virtually any life process. The effects of lipid malnutrition will thus very likely be increasingly linked to more and more disease conditions as biochemical and physiological mechanisms become increasingly elucidated.[ Functions of Fatty Acids Image ]http://www.wysong.net/articles/lipid/figures/figure1.jpgA more complete understanding of these dynamic functions and of proper lipid nutrition is aided by a grasp of lipid biochemistry. Although the following chapter will challenge readers with little science background, the effort to understand as much as is possible will reap many rewards in understanding subsequent topics. Comprehending every detail of biochemistry, however, is not essential to grasping the practical applications that will be developed later in the book.References available within book text, click the following link to view this article on wysong.net:http://www.wysong.net/articles/lipid/01_article_lipid_chapter_one_lipid_functions.shtmlFor further reading, or for more information about, Dr Wysong and the Wysong Corporation please visit www.wysong.net or write to wysong@wysong.net.
