How to Create a Video Podcast

How to create a video podcast:

So you might ask what are video podcasts?

Video podcast, is sometimes shortened to vidcast or vodcast, is basically a term used for online delivery of video on demand video clip content via Atom or RSS enclosures. It is an evolution specialized for video, coming from generally audio-based podcast and referring to the distribution of video where RSS feed is used as a non-linear TV channel to which consumers can subscribe using a PC, TV, set-top-box, media center or mobile multimedia device.

Many people actually already have video podcasts and pretty soon everyone will have one. If you do not know how to create a video podcast, than you need to learn quickly or have some one do it for you or show you how because anyone without a vidcast will look like dinosaurs on the internet.

Video Podcasting is an area that many companies shy away from. They mistakenly think that their productions must be top quality and ready to broadcast on a major TV channel. This is not at all true! You do not have to hire a production crew or purchase expensive equipment. This is thanks to YouTube and other social media outlets. They have made quality of production a backseat to content. In fact, some say that low-tech is the new high-tech!

Other roadblocks to corporate vidcasts include camera shyness, lack of material and of course, control of content.

Thanks to Dexterity Media, we are able to help you create a video podcast and come up with a strategy that addresses your concerns. We can help with the production and conversion of your production for inclusion on your site and other media sites like YouTube or Google Video.

How to Set Up a Podcast

How to set up a podcast:

First things first, what are podcasts?

A podcast is a series of digital media files which are distributed over the internet using syndicated feeds for playback on portable media players and computers. The latter term is: podcasting. The host or author of a podcast is typically called a podcaster.

A podcast is distinguished from other digital media formats by its ability to be syndicated, subscribed to, and downloaded automatically when new content is added. This is done by using an aggregator or feed reader capable of reading feed formats such as RSS or Atom. Even though this is how podcasts are, certain podcasters may also offer direct download or streaming of their content.

You might not know this, but podcasts use to once be just a fad among a few technologists. But then later, bloggers started becoming hip to the whole podcasting deal, and is now the future of the internet. I will not be surprised is one day podcasts will be known as a different name when technology catches up to the vision of millions of individuals and corporate broadcast studios that are operating from desktops and laptops, where daily, and even hourly transmissions are offered up live and archived for later downloading or streaming. Until then, Dexterity Media can show you how to set up a podcast that makes the most of the technology that exists. By creating a podcast, it will help expose your company message, products, and services to a whole new audience. It’s being done now with podcasts (soon to be known as mediacasts) and your company can seize a great marketing opportunity that will enhance:

Audience Marketing Development

So how do you come up with an audience marketing development plan to grap the attention of your audience for a company’s social media productions, whether it be blogs, podcasts or video podcasts without boring them?

The answer to this question is way to complex to discuss in this space, but you might be surprised to find out that your audience may not be who you think it is. It is far more likely that you have a broader audience that you have imagined.

One of the main things you need to know is that corporate blogs come and go – and most are just simply ignored.

So with that being said, you need to have good optimized content. And by “good” we do not mean corporate nonsense! If you do not have a company blog or vidcast this will not kill your business, but these things will definitely be a big plus to your business. You may not directly see a return in dollars from your social media efforts, but in terms of branding and customer relations, these things will engage your customers directly because they are more public facing image pieces. This audience marketing development plan is great for any company because it offers a two-way communication between you and them and it won’t bore them.

The first thing to focus on is good content and then your second priority is getting that content out in front of people. Dexterity Media is adept at audience marketing development, helping businesses get in front of people in unique and innovative ways.
