Susan Glaser is an opinionated, irritating person to be around. She is not the best person to work with. She knows everything. She has an opinion about everything. I am sure you know someone who fits this description.Susan is so free with her opinions that people are afraid to ask her about anything. She can go on for hours about what she thinks about everything from dish washing detergent, to the newest Ford truck.Susan never stops telling everyone her opinion on how the world and everyone in it should talk walk and act. She offers opinions on what make and model of car you should drive. Unfortunately, it is never the make or model of the car you ownNo one likes talking to Susan because she is always in a talking mode. Susan is always sharing her opinions about someone or something. Susan is usually left alone at lunch time because n
What are the steps to creating a podcast?

What is a podcast, anyway? A podcast is an audio file that you create in .mp3 format that is uploaded with an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) file to your server for your target market to download on any number of programs created to receive or subscribe to your audio file so that they can listen to it at their leisure on their computer or a personal mp3 device.
Why should you create a podcast? I think it serves as a marketing tool for the solo service professional, who might want to do one of the following:
--create an Internet radio show or talk show in which you create content-rich broadcasts for your target market
--conduct a teleclass series in which you interview experts who have solutions to problems faced by your target market
--promote a printed book, ebook, or CD/DVD series by releasing promotional snippets to a wider audience
--provide short and valuable expert tips to your target market (my Get More Clients Online podcast consists of the weekly article I write for my newsletter)
Many podcasts are about an hour in length, especially when they consist of recordings of radio shows or teleclasses. However, I think that the listening threshold for most people is about 10 minutes. So, that means that your podcast needs to be 10 minutes or less in length. If it's longer, you really have to grab their attention in the first 10 minutes to keep them listening for the full amount of time.
Good content and a good speaking voice are key to maintaining interest. Don't make your podcast one long advertisement for your services or products -- share some useful information with your target market to help them solve their problems. And, you need to have a good speaking voice. Nothing is worse than listening to someone read a speech with a monotone delivery. So, for maximum impact when you record your podcast (especially if you're just recording yourself), get up and walk around, smile, gesture, or do whatever you normally do when you deliver a speech. Modulate your voice, much in the same way that you would when you have a 1:1 conversation with someone -- put feeling and emotion into your words. I pretend like I'm talking to my best friend, and that helps me with a lively delivery.

If you’re wondering how to keep your paypal account safe and still useful, I have a few suggestions. These five steps have proven themselves over time, and I’ve had no problems with PayPal because I manage my accounts for privacy.1. Password ProtectionUse a viable password, no dictionary words, add alternate letters, numbers, caps, lower case, and mix up the letters. A good mix of letters, numbers, lower and upper case will make your password more effective, less easy to translate, and should be at least 8 letters long.2. Change Password FrequentlyChange your password frequently and do not reuse a password alternately, it becomes too easy to trace and obtain. I always recommend a monthly change of password, on various days of the month. A good time to change your password is every fifth time you check your account.3. NEVER go to PayPal from

There is no doubt that one of the most effective ways to boost overall profits of a restaurant is to increase wine sales. Actually, any kind of beverage sales will increase the bottom line, but the focus of this article will be on wine.Since the majority of patrons are not wine experts, a huge opportunity exists for restaurants to educate their consumers. Patrons consistently rely on wait staff to assist them with their wine selection.So, it just makes sense that by providing patrons with the knowledge to order wine, restaurant sales will increase.How to Increase Wine SalesSelling wine can be a complex and dueling task, but it doesn’t have to be. Just ask the staff at Olive Garden. They have learned how to take advantage of the mantra: KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid).This acronym has been around for a while now and it’s absolutely t

It’s that time of year again. No, we’re not just talking about turkey, long lines at the mall and overnight visits with the in laws. It’s time for small business to look ahead at 2007 sales projections. In this article, we’ll focus specifically on earning new business from your existing clients.Large corporations have the advantage of months of planning, teams of accountants, sales directors and marketers, not to mention years, or even decades of history on which to base renewal and growth projections.But for small business, the scenario is probably a little different. It’s likely just you and a handful of trusted employees, each of whom wear many hats. You may have just a year or two of history. You may be so busy running your business that you haven’t had time for months for planning.At the same time, you have a lot of advantages that larger businesses

For more than twenty years the mantra in private enterprise and public enterprise has been "customer focus". The phrase appears on mission statements, vision statement and "our values" statements adorning private and public enterprise walls alike.The phrase has been embedded in part by an exponential growth in management processes and systems based processes. The advent of systems based methods such as Enterprise Resource Planning and Customer Relationship Management have hard coded customer needs into organisations.Quality methods such as Six Sigma and Total Quality Management have often been used to focus attention on delivering upon customer's needs. The full list of methods which in one way or another beseech the user to have a customer focus would easily fill up this entire column.There is, however, a simple problem.Most or
What are the steps to creating a podcast?
1. Listen to a few podcasts to get a feel for what others are doing. To listen, you'll need a podcatcher (podcast reader), which permits you to subscribe to podcasts in the same way you subscribe to blogs. I favor iTunes as my podcatcher of choice, which is a free online download. You'll also need to find podcasts, and the quickest way to do that is via podcast directories, which include the iTunes store. Podcast Alley, one of the most popular podcasting sites, has a large podcast directory, and Yahoo Podcasts has a podcast search. To find others, simply search online for "podcast directory."
2. Plan your podcast. Who is your target market? What do they want to listen to? How will your podcast be unique from others in your industry? What's your format (interview others, host a teleclass, or record yourself)? How long will your podcast be? How frequently will you deliver your podcasts?
3. Record your podcast. Many people choose to record their podcast with a free piece of software called Audacity. It has an easy learning curve and advanced features for more experienced podcasters. Mac users might want to check out Garage Band. For best recording sound, don't use the microphone that came with your computer or that is built into your laptop. You'll want to get a more professional one, such as the ones offered at Plantronics or Radio Shack.
4. Save and upload your podcast to your server. Once you've created your podcast in an mp3 file, now you have to save it and upload it to a server via an FTP program (like CuteFTP) so that it's readily available. You can upload it to your website, or use one of the many podcasting hosting services available. The problem with uploading it to your website is that audio files are space hogs, and you can quickly exhaust all the storage capacity of your hosting account, not to mention your monthly bandwidth capacity if your podcast is popular and is downloaded frequently. That's why I use a fee-based audio service hosting company, Audio Acrobat, which offers me generous storage and bandwidth capacity for a semi-annual fee. Another popular podcast hosting company is Hipcast.com.
5. Create your podcast feed. You can create your podcast feed from scratch, but I recommend you use a feed service to do so. If you use a podcasting hosting service, this feature is included in your service package. For everyone else, the quickest way to create your podcast feed is through Feedburner.com. This is the same service that creates RSS feeds for blogs. The advantage of creating your podcast feed from this site is that you can create a browser-friendly feed, tra
