[I235]Increase Quality Of Video

by Mark Robinsson, Mar

What should you do to get your message across the fastest time possible? You better create a podcast. There are already a lot of Internet marketers that are using this technique because it is very easy to do. You just need the necessary equipment to create an audio file. You can also use the podcasts as part of your newsletter or can be uploaded to your website. Podcasts can also be saved into the MP3 player and iPods of your listeners.

Coming up with a high-quality podcast, however, requires more than just equipment or message. In fact, if you are not going to do it right, there is a huge chance that you will never be able to send your message across to your listeners. You will not be able to convert your prospects to customers.

Here are the following tips to create the most appealing and worth-listening podcast:

1. Choose your location very well. As much as possible, you should avoid recording a podcast in a very noisy environment. The noises can be picked up and recorded alongside your discussion. You will not be heard properly then.

You may want to record inside your room. You can also record during the wee hours of the night, or when there is no one else at home. If you cannot find the most ideal location for your podcast recording, you might as well pick a microphone that does not capture any sound. It can be pretty expensive, but you can guarantee that there is no other sound that can be heard but yours.

2. Create a script. This is really not mandatory. If you have the gift of gab, you can basically come up with your own words when you are already recording. However, a script is highly recommended for a lot of reasons. First, you will have direction. You know which topics to talk about and the best approach to send your message properly to your listeners. The script can also be helpful just in case you suffer from a mental block. You can save time from editing your podcast too much. What's more, you can modify the script a little and send it out to your listeners as an e-book or a report.

3. Test your equipment. You may have the most sophisticated audio software or microphone, but if they do not work, then you cannot create your desired podcast. Before you start to record, make sure to test them. Record a sample and listen to the quality. You may have to adjust the volume and settings.

4. Interview people. The quality of your podcast can also be measured by the credibility of its content. Is it verifiable or factual? You can only do that if you can interview experts in your chosen topic.

However, it is not going to be very easy. It is essential that you can come up with a good plan. Know the best time to conduct an interview. You should also determine if it is going to be live or pre-recorded (the latter can simply be added to your own podcast using a software). You should also identify the subtopics that need to be covered. It may also mean that the questions are already formulated before you make the interview.

5. Get feedback. Encourage participation from your listeners. You may ask them of topics that they want you to talk about. You can also inquire the people that they want you to interview. A feedback is also necessary to have an idea of the quality of your podcast. Is it audible? Is the message clearly understood?

6. Speak slowly. There is an ideal time frame for a podcast. You surely cannot make it last for an hour. Otherwise, your listeners will get bored. If it is going to be long, it is best to break the podcast to several series.

But more than that, you have to speak slowly. You are not in a marathon. Speaking slowly can also make sure that your words do not sound garbled, and your point can be understood easily.

Use podcast to your advantage. It is one of the newest and most effective methods of sending your message clearly to your prospects and consumers. Nevertheless, take note of these tips too. Your goal, after all, is to produce a podcast that is worth listening and even sharing.

So, you got all your Pay Per Click campaigns setup and running. You are happily paying $0.05 to $0.10 per click and all of a sudden Google decided to slap you and WHAM you wake up in the morning realizing that all your bidding keywords are inactive and you need to pay $5.00 per click. That right, five dollars per click! If you can still make profit by paying that amount of money. Then, it is totally fine, but chances are you won't.

Now the big question is, how do you overcome this? Before going deep into the how, first you have to understand the why. Well, it's all about relevancy. If the keywords that you are bidding are not relevant to the landing page or the site that you are promoting, then you will be punished with poor quality score. That means, you need to make sure that your landing page has the keywords that you are bidding.
For example, if you are bidding for the keywords 'red shoes', you will need to have the term 'red shoes'on your landing page or website.

There are a couple of things you can do to beat this, first of all you will need to have very small and targeted adgroups. That means, you cannot put all the keywords that you have into an adgroup. You will need to break them into small groups for example, if you have a list like this:

polka dot red shoes
small red shoes
new blue shoes
big red shoes
big blue shoes
small blue shoes

You can break them into two groups where the first group will be keywords that consist of 'red shoes' and the other one 'blue shoes'. So you'll have

First Adgroup: red shoes
small red shoes
polka dot red shoes
big red shoes

Second Adgroup: blue shoes
new blue shoes
big blue shoes
small blue shoes.

Got that? sounds tough, but you can easily do this by using the KeywordGrouper function in the Adwords Editor tool which you download it for free from Google's website.

Now, to improve the relevancy between your keywords and your landing pages, there are actually a few ways to achieve this. The first way will be to create multiple landing pages. Meaning, you create different landing pages for different adgroups.
Based on the examples above, you now have two different adgroups, what you need to do is to create a landing page for 'red shoes' and a landing page for 'blue shoes'. You really want to make your adgroups as tight as possible and be sure that your landing page contains the keywords within the adgroups.
You can manually create multiple landing pages at first to understand more how this works. This can be a daunting task but it is the most reliable and the best way to learn. The other way to do this will be using dynamic keyword insertion or (DKI) technique and having dynamic keywords appear on your landing page Which is a more advanced technique. Doing this will require a fair amount of knowledge on .php but you can certainly search this on the net to find out more.
