Welcome back to another video and this time, we are talking about how to repurpose your existing content marketing articles. So your blog articles into an audio podcast. Now, this term is thrown around a lot lately and there are multiple ways that you can do it. There are multiple ways you can think about things for me, there are basically two number one, you get the text of your article itself, and then you use a microphone, pretty much any microphone that you have and that includes the microphone on your headset that you get with your your computer that might be five or $10. That includes the microphone on your mobile phone, or hopefully a smartphone or obviously something like a condenser or dynamic or USB microphone, you can also use the microphone that is inserted into your webcam, if you have one of those, or if you have a laptop with a webcam and the mic, and the toys that I'm talking about is number one, you just read the article, you record it, and then you place that audio next to your specific article.

Now, that alone won't get you additional views won't get you spread around one, get more subscribers. So you need to follow that up with something else you need to work on your distribution. And this is where a podcast comes in. And the concept is fairly similar, but it differs in a few basic ways. Now, getting started with creating an audio podcast is not as difficult as it sounds. This is A topic that has been covered by Pat Flynn from Smart Passive income in the past.

He has a podcasting tutorial series series on YouTube. And he makes it very clear what you need and how you should get started. Now in terms of equipment, let me just show you an image and let me assure you that you do not need all of these things. 91 If you are getting really professional, you don't need all of these things, since these are mostly things that would be nice to have. But the difference at least to a listener, I would say is minimal. What I recommend having is basically this, but not this specifically with a microphone, hopefully a USB so that makes it a bit better or a condenser and XLR microphone if that connects To your 3.5 millimeter jack, or some other way to your computer or to a smartphone, that is good enough, you could get a pair of headphones as well to monitor the audio out but that isn't required.

As you grow as you find that you are getting better this you can invest in a few more things like a pop filter, like a boom arm and other audio interfaces that connect from the mic to the computer so that you are getting a clearer sound and a better overall acoustic experience. Now inter these are the hardwell hardware parts, let's call them that and you don't really need to spend this this amount of money, the microphone that I'm recording Right now was about 50 to $60. A cheap for pop filter goes for five to $10. A boom arm if you are inclined to get one starts from $10 and goes all the way to 100 $150. So if you do not have the money even for a $50 USB mic, and I did not in the beginning, that is fine. You can start with an audio headset, you can start with a cheap bluetooth headset or the headset that you get for free with your phone.

If your headphone earphones have a built in mic, that is good enough. Now, in terms of software, you only need about two or three things. free audio manipulation software is called Audacity. And it's free open source and cross platform. That means it's available for Windows, Mac and Linux and people are still working on it. So it's a very good deal being free and it does the job well.

I use it pretty much on any audio recording. And moreover I also use it on specific videos since I like to get my audio a bit crisper and add a few effects like bass and treble and you can add those easily and there are tutorials around the internet all over the place how you can make your voice your audio sound even better than you can think about having it so better than it sounds in your head. Now, if you do have other software for audio, if you are an audio guy, then you could even use tools like Adobe Premiere, those also have some of them have built in audio audio editing capabilities. And there are also software built in when recording your screen. This one, for example, has a very basic audio editor where it can cut specific parts of the audio, it can clean the audio, it can add silence, but that's pretty much it or that it it does much more than that.

And it does them again for free and fairly quickly. Now, the last piece of software that you will need is a sort of element that connects you to a distribution platform. So in our case, that would be WordPress. Using this blueberry power press podcasting, plug in to iTunes, Google Play stitcher and so on. So the basic idea is that you create a lot of content in terms of articles. You want that content to be spread around shared with as many people as possible, and then them coming to your website from those repurposed pieces of content.

So once you start creating podcasts, start getting Yes, you should start to connect with people, try getting a guest spot on other people's podcasts, invite people over create summaries from your articles. Talk about what's in the news. Think about improving your overall podcast experience for the listener. And really just make it fun for yourself to create and work with this type of new content it give it at least three to six months, and try to always improve upon the previous episode and in time, you'll get the recognition recognition that you need. And you will also get the relations the authority and the traffic coming from this new route. purposed piece of content.

So this video was all about how to repurpose your content marketing article, your blog articles into an audio or an audio podcast. Thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next video.
