and Curb Appeal: What is it and How Important is it? By access1000.blogspot.com Published On :: Sat, 5 Aug 2006 18:31:00 -0700 The last thing you want to have happen when you have your home up for sale is for people to drive up and have a look, and then drive off...nver to return again. Why did they leave?Your home could have been the wrong style or have the wrong exterior finish. But in all likelihood, it was curb appeal.Curb appeal is one of those magic phrases used by real estate people that means a lot of things. It could be the home itself, or they could be referring to the landscaping. Curb appeal, in is simplest form means the overall balance and harmoney of everything the eye beholds while sitting at the curb and viewing the property. If it is eye appealing and alluring, they will want to come inside and have a look around.The amount of curb appeal your home has will determine how much inside traffic you get to the home (outside traffic doesn't count). Inside traffic into the home is what it takes to sell it. So, curb appeal will ultimately effect how much your home sells for...or if it will sell at all.So what makes up curb appeal and how do you get it?The StructureYour home must appear to be in top condition and well maintained. The paint must look fresh and unblemished. Gutters must be straight and in good repair. Doors should be square and fit in their frames perfectly. Anything that looks out of the ordinary needs to either be removed, repainted, or fixed.The YardThe lawn should be mowed and edged, and GREEN in the spring, summer and fall. Everything that blocks the view of the home needs to be trimmed or removed. This includes bushes, shrubs, trees, etc. If people cannot see the home, they will not want to come inside. All shrubs and bushes should be manicured and shaped. Flowers and bark or mulch needs to be new and replanted if necessary. Your job is to make the yard look picture perfect BEFORE you put it up for sale. Trim all low hanging branches that interfere with the street view of your home. If you do not want to do all of the work, hire a landscaping contractor to come up with a plan. You will be more than rewarded for what you spend in the eventual sales price of your home.Curb appeal increase the traffic to the inside of your home. And, if people don't come inside, they won't buy it. Your agent can get people to at least take a drive by your home. It's up to you to make them want to come inside. Full Article

Not to mention, audio fiction is a great choice when you can’t look at a book, like during a commute, while doing chores, or working out. And audio fiction is on the rise.

and Podcast Ad Revenue To Grow Almost 15% In 2020, Despite Pandemic By www.podcasting-tools.com Published On :: Wed, 5 Aug 2020 10:46:55 -0400 The dent COVID-19 put in podcast advertising hasn’t stopped the market from growing. Revenues in the podcast advertising market are projected to grow 14.7% year over year to nearly $1 billion in 2020, according to the IAB and PricewaterhouseCooper’s full year podcast ad revenue study, released Monday. IAB surveyed 19 podcast publishers and ad networks prior to the pandemic and followed up in mid-April with another survey about COVID-19’s impact on the industry.

Those figures were based on podcast advertising’s growth to $708 million in 2019 (48% year over year).

and Tips and techniques for creating a professional podcast By www.podcasting-tools.com Published On :: Wed, 12 Aug 2020 11:01:57 -0400 Determine your topic, audience and format Everyone has something they could talk about for hours on end. When deciding which of these things should be the focus of a podcast, you need to consider topics that you will never get tired of talking about. Brainstorm 52 show topic ideas, one for each week of the year. This will let you know if you have enough ideas to have a regular podcast of your own, or if you would be better off finding guesting opportunities on existing programs. Of course, a show does not have to be weekly, but it is a starting point. Defining your audience will help to hone the direction of the show, as well. A show geared toward young mothers will sound much different than a podcast for mid-career professionals. Your audience is rarely everyone. Figure out who they are and talk specifically to them, their needs and interests. As you plan your show, consider what type of format will be most effective, as well. Will you host guests, have a co-host or fly solo? Choose memorable, straightforward branding When coming up with a title for your podcast, it’s best not to be too clever or obscure. Make it easy to remember and spell and also give some idea of what the show is about. Search potential names in Google and on iTunes to be sure your idea is not already an established podcast. You will also want to claim a custom URL and related social media handles. Again, searching for these items will indicate if the title is already taken. Cover art for your podcast needs to be an exact square, sized at least 1,400 pixels by 1,400 pixels and 3,000 pixels by 3,000 pixels at the most. Remember that people will be viewing it on a small screen, so use large text for your show name and relevant artwork. Assemble a digital audio workstation Full Article

and Podcasting: It all started with an iPod and an idea By www.podcasting-tools.com Published On :: Wed, 2 Dec 2020 14:43:40 -0400 The concept behind podcasting is simple: combine the best qualities of what we love about a radio show with the immense capabilities offered by the digital revolution. And with this simplicity, comes great diversity. Podcasts come in all shapes and sizes, across languages and borders, dealing with an enormous variety of topics and speaking to the hearts of an ever-growing global audience. It is no wonder that they have become one of the most beloved and popular media in the 21st century. But how did it all start – and where are we now? A simple idea: a brief history of how podcasts came to be The advent of the internet and new digital tech has naturally played the biggest part in establishing the podcast industry. While the concept of audio blogging and on-demand listening to audio and video files has been around since the 1980s, primarily in the context of education and research, podcasting as we know it didn’t really exist until the 2000s. Its existence was in big part thanks to the iPod device launched by Apple in late 2001, which inspired a whole new way of listening to music and audio files. MTV VJ Adam Curry and developer Dave Winner are widely considered to be the pioneers of the podcast revolution, when they teamed up to develop a software dubbed iPodder in 2004 – and the rest is history.

and New Survey Bears Good News For Spotify And Podcasts, Bad News For Radio By www.podcasting-tools.com Published On :: Tue, 27 Apr 2021 11:59:29 -0400 Every year at this time, Edison Research and Triton Digital publish the results of a study called The Infinite Dial that tracks the use of digital audio and related media in the United States. It’s a study that dates back over 20 years—it got its name from the digital radio that was introduced at that time—and is well-respected for the rigor and consistency of its methodology. This year’s study shows how the pandemic has changed digital audio consumption habits. It also shows a few surprises in the streaming music sweepstakes. The 2021 Infinite Dial results show that the use of online audio—including digital radio, AM/FM internet streams, podcasts, and music services—has plateaued at 68% of Americans ages 12 and up. But there are clear winners and losers, and they don’t merely reflect pandemic-related factors such as people staying at home. One big winner is podcasting. Growth in podcast listenership shows no signs of tapering off, as monthly listenership continues its linear growth path to 41% penetration, up from 37% in 2020. Growth is particularly high in the 12-34 age bracket, more than half of whom now listen to podcasts regularly (while the 35-54 bracket levels off around 40%). Podcast listenership is also getting more racially diverse, with nonwhite listeners now at 43%, up from 37% last year. Full Article

and Professional Development in the Palm of Your Hand By www.corporatetrainingelearningblog.com Published On :: Sun, 3 Jun 2012 19:26:00 -0400 From PDAs to cell phones to tablets, there's no denying the ever-increasing presence of technology in our world. It’s so pervasive that it's pretty much standard practice for employees to receive company-issued computers and phones on their first day. But what about the growing tablet market?Compared to smart phones, tablets have infiltrated the population at a much quicker rate. A recent study found that in just under two years, more than 40 million Americans became owners of some form of tablet—be it an iPad, Kindle, etc. With more and more people acquiring the new gadgets, it's only natural that companies jump on board as well—and many have. From law firms to elementary schools, more employers are recognizing the device's pull and are therefore changing policies and procedures to incorporate increased use of the technology. So what does this mean for the workplace?Remote Training: A New FrontierWith more than 34% of respondents from a recent survey saying that their companies plan to make 2012 the "Year of the Tablet" it’s only natural to wonder how they'll put them to use. Some business leaders recognizing their benefit have even begun to encourage and promote the use of these tablets for professional development and training.Naturally, this is taking some time to catch on across the board, but a growing number of companies are giving it a shot. When it comes to things such as orientations, certification courses and more, opting to use the device rather than traditional methods such as in-person meetings or seminars offers a world of benefits. For one, it is cheaper. Companies no longer have to worry about the expense of reserving a room, buying the group lunch or renting projection/other interactive equipment. I mean, sure, you're out the initial investment in the tablets themselves, but in the long run it will be money saved.Additionally, this new method is more efficient. Employees can use it around their schedules and figure out how best to work it in by the deadline, rather than hijacking a chunk of time to gather everyone together. Plus, this puts the responsibility in the employee's hands—literally—making them more accountable. This will, in turn, make it easier to spot incompetent team members, who might not have the inner drive to get it done themselves. One proponent of the technology also brings up the added perk of version control. Opting for virtual training and development will ensure that all parties have access to the same, most recent information.A Workplace DividedDespite all the positive buzz around this digital revolution, there are some people who don't think it's such a great idea. Since graduating from college and officially immersing myself in the professional working force just a year ago, I have noticed an obvious divide between the members of my generation and those many years our senior. Both sides seem to have their defenses up, unsure of the other's motives and there is a misunderstanding about the other’s worth. Regardless, there exists an obvious disconnect, that all too often leads to an argument about each group’s views on the increased use of various forms of technology, such as the tablet.Much of the older generation seems content continuing with the status quo only to keep from learning new processes, because they are new, unchartered territory. However, members of my generation are not without fault either. They need to be more patient and understanding about the fact that getting full organizations that have been around for decades to transition to these more tech savvy ways will undoubtedly take time. Both parties just need time and an open mind to learn from each other. They need to remind themselves regularly that they are on the same team and not competing.
