What Is Podcasting Video Tutorial

Leesa Barnes — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 17:09:07 +0000

Last week, I did alot of networking amongst non techie people who had no clue what is a Robert Scoble, Mitch Joel or podcasting. Yikes! So, I quickly put together a 3 minute video tutorial to explain what podcasting is using the examples of Peanuts, Lost, Oprah and another talk show diva. Click here to view the video.

What You’re Missing Over at LeesaBarnes.com

Leesa Barnes — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 15:03:56 +0000

Over at my new home, LeesaBarnes.com, I’m focused on helping service professionals learn how to avoid cold calling and generate leads using a podcast and other online media tools.

This probably doesn’t sound any different from Podonomics, however over on my new blog, I’m focusing less on the technique and more on the strategy.

Do update your feed address to http://feeds.feedburner.com/leesabarnes because on September 30th, I pull the plug on Podonomics. Plus, you’re missing out on the 2 chapters I’m offering for free from my book. I’d love to share them with you.

The Podcasting for Profit Rock Stars

Leesa Barnes — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 07:44:20 +0000

So, Chris Penn did a mother of all pingbacks a month ago. Let’s see if I can top his list. Here’s the list of podcasters profiled in Podcasting for Profit in order of appearance, otherwise known as the podcasting for profit rock stars.

Note - Some podcasters were mentioned in multiple chapters, but I just didn’t have the heart to keep typing out there names over and over. So you’ll just have to get the book to find out where else I mentioned the following rock stars.

I Have Given Birth (To a Book)

Leesa Barnes — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 14:23:26 +0000

In January 2007, I was impregnated with a book deal. From that point on, I nurtured this little bundle of joy so it could take on a life of its own. I was elated with the knowledge that something big was going to grow. At every turn, I saw evidence of its growth - a chapter here, a paragraph there.

I started to have cravings for Kit Kat at odd hours of the day. I gorged on some of the most unhealthiest foods, everything from French fries to chocolate dip donuts from Tim Hortons to McDonalds. I ate as much as I could to feed what was growing on my computer screen.

There were many all nighters. Some nights, I couldn’t sleep because I was restless. The bulge of ideas kept getting in the way. I had to relieve myself by writing a chapter at 3am just to get any sleep.

Yahoo Podcast Directory - Stop Promoting It

Leesa Barnes — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 10:12:19 +0000

A year ago, one of my clients started podcasting. I recommended a small sample of podcast directories to submit to and one of them was Yahoo Podcasts. I just loved its simple, yet pretty design and was pleased that another major player was stepping into the podcasting limelight.

Yet, after a year, I have now stopped recommending Yahoo Podcasts. Why? It’s been neglected by Yahoo itself. Some feeds haven’t been updated in its directory in months, even though the podcaster has been producing new episodes every week.

Jack Van Impe and Larry King Makes Podcasting Relevant to Mom

Leesa Barnes — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 11:20:35 +0000

Get this. I’ve been podcasting since late 2005. I even have a book coming out on podcasting. Despite having a podcasting expert in her own home, my mother took an interest in podcasting only this past week. Here’s how the conversation went.

“Leesa, I want an iPod.”

“Why?”

“Because Larry King said I can get his podcast that way.”

“Oh.”

“And Jack Van Impe has a podcast. So does Anderson Cooper.”

“Okay Mom.”

“So, how do I get the podcast on the iPod?”

“Easy. I’ll get you set up and show you what to do.”

“Oh good. How much does the iPod cost?”

“As little as $100 to as much as $400. You know, you can get Larry King’s podcast right on your computer. You know that, right?”

“Yes, but I want an iPod.”

Podcasting has become relevant to my mom, not because her daughter does this thing for a living, but because Larry King tells her so every night. Go figure.

Waves, Books and Cottages - The Great Canadian Adventure

Leesa Barnes — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 19:42:50 +0000

Last week, I took a much deserved 5-day holiday. On Wednesday morning, I headed north of Toronto to spend 2-days at a friend’s cottage in the Kawarthas. Then on Friday morning, I went to the shores of Lake Erie to bask in the warm sunshine. I went to church on Saturday, a BBQ on Sunday, then spent more time in the sun on holiday Monday at Harbourfront taking in the sights and sounds of Caribana inspired gospel music.

Just glorious! An amazing way to unwind and relax. No computers, no Internet, nothing technical. Just sun and fun for 5-days. I learned many things about the world around me while away from the computer and I want to share them with you.
