Audio has definitely taken the internet by storm recently, whether it is in the form of a welcome message upon entering a site, audio blogging, a podcast, or even a monthly audio newsletter. People love audio and recent advancements in technology have made it easy for people to download audio files to their Mp3 players and listen wherever they go.



You can take audio files that you had for any interviews you are conducting for information products or articles and make money with them in other ways. You can do this in the following ways:

By offering a product upgrade: If you have already created a written info product (ebook or special report) and have conducted interviews while doing research for the product, you can then offer the audio files as an upgrade to the base product. For instance, if you offer the basic product for $19.99, you can include the audio files to the customer for an upgraded price of $24.95 or higher, depending on how much audio there is to accompany the product.

By offering a product downgrade: This is a bit opposite the above description. If you offer a program that includes written content and audio content (like interviews), offer just the audio interviews for those who can't afford the entire package. For instance, if your package price is usually $199, offer the audio only for a price of $75. This can be a way to capture the sale from someone who would have otherwise not been making a purchase.

By offering an audio information product: As well as offering an upgrade and downgrade, you can offer audio files as completely new information products. For instance, invite people who have purchased your product onto a teleconference line for a Q&A session. Record the session, then have it to offer to future customers.

As a seminar series: A seminar series is a great way to create buzz for your business, generate website traffic, and to make money. You should consider approaching other business owners that also interest your market, and ask if they can be a part of your seminar series.

If you already have a built up amount of traffic to your website, you may also be able to charge seminar presenters for a spot in your seminar series. Other ways to profit off the series is that after you have people be a part of the teleconference line or meet in a web conference room for free, record the seminar, then charge a fee for access to the recordings. You might also opt to charge a fee upfront, and give preference to paying customers only to the live seminars.

There are many ways to earn money with your interviews. Your readers will love to hear your voice, as well as the voices of other experts. Recording and selling the audio files of interviews can bring a whole new stream of income to your site.
