A few weeks ago I was hanging out at the SWAT Traffic conference room and we were discussing putting audio onto webpages.  Seems sign-ups go through the roof when you add audio to a webpage especially in traffic exchanges.  On high traffic websites where there is a lot of competition for people’s attention having audio on a webpage can be just the thing you need to give you an advantage over your competition.

I spent this past weekend recording audio and adding it to my pages.

But first I needed some software that will play the audio when people visit my page.  I looked at quite a few expensive programs to add audio to my website but I didn’t need anything fancy.  I settled on Impact Web Audio.

Impact Web Audio is extreamly simple to use.  No complicated interface to figure out.  Simply record or import your audio files, pick out your graphic “play” button, and generate the code.  Then it’s just a matter of uploading a few files and your updated webpage to your webhost.

Want some professional sounding background music for your webpage?  I actually spent quite awhile looking for royalty free music to use on my webpage.  Apparently royalty “free” music isn’t quite as free as it sounds.  No problem!  Impact Web Audio actually comes with a dozen audio clips that you can use in your recording.  It’s very simple to use.

If you are looking for an easy and inexpensive way to add audio to a website check out Impact Web Audio.

When it comes to Internet marketing it seems that choosing a good niche market is where most people make their biggest mistake. People usually do two things when they pick a niche… they either choose a market that seems to be really hot, or they pick something where they have a lot of expertise.

If you don’t do it correctly, there are problems with both of these methods.

Let’s take the first example. When you choose a market that looks like it is doing well you are going to be hard pressed to be a new comer and have any sort of control over what is going on.

If it is a really popular niche and there is a lot of money changing hands then there is most likely going to be some serious competition. If you don’t know what you are doing it won’t take long for your competition to bury you because they are going to have a lot more experience than you and will probably have a bigger budget to spend on advertising.

The second method that people use to choose their niche market is to choose a topic they already know a lot about. This can either really help you or it can be your worst nightmare.

What usually happens is that somebody will create a product based on something that they know, and in their eyes, it looks like it should do great. They start buying advertising and marketing it all over the place but they soon find out that their product either doesn’t have a market or the market doesn’t have very much potential for making money.

Before jumping into a niche market there are a few things to consider:

1. How much competition will there be and how big are your competitors.
2. Whether there is a market for your product.
3. Would that market be willing to spend money on your product.
4. Will you enjoy what you are doing if you start a business in this market?

All these factors are very important. I have personally have found that when you really have a passion for what you are doing, then you can do it better. You consider it fun because you enjoy doing it.

It is important that you do not jump into the hottest market just because you think it can make a lot of money. Learn to do something you really enjoy and you WILL make money.

Ok, I am just about happy with where my blog is now.

I have been hearing about “Twitter” for awhile now and when I heard about this cool plug-in called “Tweet My Blog” I knew I had to try it… but do I really want to put myself on Twitter?

Too late. It’s done!

If you want to “follow me” and get notified every time I scratch my butt check out My Twitter Profile.

Now that my Twitter account is all setup the first thing I did was to get a copy of “Tweet My Blog“. This is a really cool plug-in that links to the Twitter network that sends an update every time you post a new blog. This will be my first time trying it so it’s pretty exciting to say the least.

If you have a blog of your own and you use Twitter check out Tweet My Blog.
