<p><strong><strong><br />
Why Podcast?</strong></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Joel</li>
<ul>
<li>Have seen an increase in traffic, interest, and even some revenue from podcasting.</li>
<ul>
<li>Think about how much a radio ad might cost you.</li>
<li>Guesting on another show is CHEAP – just your time.</li>
<li>Lots of overlap in podcast audiences. It can be like a mini focus group.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<p><strong><strong><br />
Content: The Idea</strong></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>What do you talk about?</li>
<ul>
<li>Lara</li>
<ul>
<li>RE: DDP. We had conversations about this (dating) all the time, why not podcast them?</li>
</ul>
<li>Joel</li>
<ul>
<li>Talk about what you’re passionate / knowledgeable about already.</li>
<li>It should come naturally!</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<li>Who will care?</li>
<ul>
<li>You’re “broadcasting” to a potentially huge audience, there is someone out there who is interested.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Things to consider</li>
<ul>
<li>What role do you want to play on a podcast?</li>
<li>Do you prefer editing content over the sound of your own voice?</li>
<ul>
<li>Find a co-host who likes to chat!</li>
</ul>
<li>Are you comfortable submitting, creating, talking about content?</li>
<li>Are you ready to build a community to submit content for you to talk about?</li>
<li>Do you need to have things all planned out or would you be happy to record on the fly and see what happens?</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p><strong><strong><br />
Getting Set Up</strong></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Where to record? What to record with? Who to record with?</li>

<li>As long as the sound is clear and consistent.</li>

<p><strong><strong><br />
Tips!</strong></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Don’t pause recording!</li>
<ul>
<li>Just keep going and edit out bits you don’t like later – you’ll get used to the flow and make less mistakes as time goes on – this sounds way more natural than perfect delivery.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Check multiple iTunes stores, not just the Canadian store! Your listeners may be located elsewhere and their reviews fall under their store.</li>
<li>Food for thought: Article</li>
<ul>
<li>A bunch of great points here about making your podcast stand out, or why creative types might want to have one:</li>

(4 Comments)]]>http://www.animafax.com/starcrossed/?p=21802012-01-17T13:39:32Z2012-01-17T13:39:32Z<p>Word seems to be getting around! One of the most popular commissions I do is the <strong>Avatar Sketch Card</strong>. There is a full description <a title="Avatar Sketch Card" href="http://www.animafax.com/starcrossed/store/commissions/avatarsketchcard/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed" target="_blank">here</a> but the basic idea is that I draw a little picture of you as if you were to appear in Starcrossed. Then you get to use that pic across all of your social media platforms and make your friends <strong><em>insanely</em></strong> jealous. Sounds great right?</p>
<p>Over the past week or two I’ve added a few new avatars to the gallery including some special requests as well as <a title="Nigel Twitter" href="http://www.twitter.com/bobafettishWoW" target="_blank">@BobafettishWoW</a> and <a title="Nicole Twitter" href="http://www.twitter.com/nicolespag" target="_blank">@NicoleSpag</a> from the <a title="FrogPants" href="http://www.frogpants.com" target="_blank">FrogPants</a> community.</p>
<p><em>Thanks for the commissions guys!</em></p>
<p>I am working on streamlining the ordering process for avatars. For now, just <a title="Contact" href="http://www.animafax.com/starcrossed/contact/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed">email me</a> to place an order.</p>

A special shout out to my buddy Jules Faulkner for the long chat yesterday and for the help with this strip. It’s always nice to have other comic’ers out there to talk to when your stuck. Jules draws a fantastic comic called Promises Promises that you absolutely must check out. Tell her I sent you.]]>
