Most CDs can hold about 70 minutes of audio without any problem. After that, I've heard of problems.

But did you know you can compress your audio file so longer recordings can fit onto a CD?

If you use just about any major audio editing software, you'll see a tool that lets you compress audio.

However, be careful when you try this. If you compress too much, the file will drop words and sounds. If you've ever been on a bad cell phone call, you'll know the feeling!

Barry Ackerman of GAC Recordings, a company that records live conferences and meetings, advises no more than a 7 percent compression to avoid problems. Of course, you should always sound check your work to make sure nothing was lost in the compression.

If you are running a minute or two over the normal CD length, this could be a neat trick to get all your recording to fit!

Good luck!

Are you tired of paying high fees just so you can accept credit cards online?

I've found an honest vendor who will share all his secrets about how to get the best rates possible to accept credit cards for your books and information products, as well as your professional services. He processes the cards for Dan
Kennedy and Yanik Silver, so he definitely knows how to work with people like us!

We'll also keep the phone lines open on this call so you can ask your questions.

I'll grill him on all the ins and outs of getting the best rates and protecting yourself from fraudulent customers and chargebacks. If all this is new to you, then you won't want to miss this information packed session.

If you currently have merchant services, you'll learn how to cut your rates.

If you need credit card processing services, you'll learn how to find the best vendor.

A client called me the other day to say she got a complaint from a customer about the date stamped on her CDs and handouts which she created from her teleseminars.

The teleseminar was from a year or so ago and the customer was afraid the material was out of date. To make matters worse, she wanted her money back!

For many of us, our material is evergreen, that is, it is relevant from now until about 2,000 years from now. The great info you give out today will be just as helpful tomorrow and next year and the year after that.

So why put a date on your materials? It can only hurt you and it can't help you.

Having given this sage advice to my client, I realized that I made the same bone-headed mistake on my web pages! I put the date of the seminar!

Why?

I can't think of a good reason anymore!

So I'm going to spend a lot of time correcting this mistake and taking the dates of the seminars off my web pages. Why risk sales from people who are concerned about the time-date of the seminar?

Wouldn't it be great if you could buy targeted pay-per-click ads for your teleseminars?

You could do this on Google -- for a fee, of course.

But I've arranged for readers of my blog (and their friends) to get $50 in advertising credits to test out their new service. That's right. No strings attached. You place your ads. If people click, your free ad credits get dinged. If people sign up for your teleseminars, you're a winner. If they don't, you haven't wasted any money.

The new search engine created by my buddy Paul Cohen, who is the genius behind the teleconferencing service that many speakers use for their teleseminar lines.

He's going to launch this service by the end of the week, so you can get in early.

It's like getting a shopping spree with free ads. If it works, you win by getting more traffic to your site and make more sales. If it doesn't work, then you've done a test and are closer to finding what does work! You can't lose. And $50 in ad dollars goes a long way when average pay-per-click is just 10 cents. You can test a lot!

The search engine is called "Search Big Daddy." Don't worry about the funny name. The search engine is based on DMOZ, which is the heart and soul of Yahoo and many other top-ranked
search engines.

Yes, you'll have to wade through the typical sales letter you see all over the net and some third-grade graphics, so scroll to the bottom and fill out the
form and you'll get your ad dollars. They'll tell you what to do next. Please send them your questions. It's not my
business. I'm just trying to do everyone a favor!


It's a pretty good search engine too -- it's based on DMOZ, which is what Yahoo and Google are based on. So there's
no risk and you'll get advertising - no strings attached. Try your own searches and see what you think. You can promote your
books, your consulting practices, your coaching services -- at no real cost to you!

If you want your friends to get in on this, send them this link:

I like to think of it as a social network for approved merchants and trusted advertisers since the only people who will
know about this are people who are invited in. So beat the Internet Marketers and grab the top listings before they do!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Podcasting Simplified…Click, Click Done.

Oakland, CA - AudioAcrobat, one of the fastest growing online audio services, has introduced a new, proprietary feature that makes Podcasting a very simple process. Not only can members record and publish audios to the Websites and email, they can now submit their recordings to the various Podcast networks and aggregators automatically.

“We are at the very beginning of a new way to syndicate content. Podcasting is like rocket fuel for content providers. And, with a couple of clicks you can send audio and video information to a huge audience,” says David Barrett, Global Communications Manager for AudioAcrobat.

Although Podcasting is gaining tremendous momentum with the online community, a recent survey conducted by Pew Internet and American Life Project indicates that only 13% of U.S. Adult Internet users have a good idea what Podcasting means.

“We have taken a considerable amount of confusion out of the equation on creating a Podcast,” added Mr. Barrett. “AudioAcrobat has the means to create audio and video and, once either is done, you are minutes away from sending your production to the Podcast networks. This is very cool!”

Launched in the Fall of 2004, AudioAcrobat has one the most comprehensive and intuitive feature sets to record audio and video on the Web.

”We created a technology with a low learning curve. Furthermore, there is no expensive equipment to buy. And, it is priced 30 to 50% less than anything else on the market. At $19.95 a month for the base audio features, we have made it very affordable,” says Ms. Pat Lynch, CEO and founder.

Podcasting and Video along with the base audio features is expected to be priced at $34.95 per month. There is a 30-Day Free Trial for anyone to try out AudioAcrobat.
