If you run any type of offline events to promote your blog, and you collect phone numbers from your meeting participants, then you might want to take a look at phonevite.com. This handy service helps you automate your call list so all you have to do is record your event announcements once and then have them broadcast to your call list automatically. This would even work if you had an online membership base that provided you with their phone numbers.

The basic service offers 25 calls for free and the Premium service offers calls at a nickel per call. You can even schedule calls in the future. So, you can record a message, schedule it to go out at a preset time, and then forget about it.

The best part of the process is that it’s your voice and your message. So, the person who receives the call will hear your voice, but you don’t have to make a hundred calls to get a voice message distributed. It’s genius!

I promote Open Source Marketer through offline events using Meetup.com and you can bet that I’ll be using this service to remind participants about upcoming events, remind them to leave feedback on past events, and to interest them in speaking at future events.

If your concerned about do not call lists or people not liking automated messages, remember this is just one tool that you can use to communicate with people. If you let them know ahead of time and tell them why you use the service, then they will be open to it. And as always, don’t add people to your list that you don’t have an active relationship with. Keep your list clean and responsive and tools like this will serve you well.

Remember, it’s your voice, your ideas, and your message. Make it unique and make it available to those who will listen.

Being creative,
