New Media Seminar – Podcasting
November 27th, 2006

Next Thursday (12/7) I’ve been asked to teach a seminar on audio and video podcasting by Outthink Group. Check out the details below or download the one sheet.
Lynchburg, VA – In the Podcast genre there are more questions than answers. “Podcast” a term that gets thrown around but there isn’t a lot of understanding beyond that it’s something that you can get with your computer. Since September, Outthink Group has been working with local businesses and entrepreneurs to help them increase their effectiveness by harnessing the power of “new media”. New media is the term used to describe the use of blogs, permission email marketing, search engine optimization, and incorporating audio and video in a digital form.
The purchase of Youtube.com by Google last month for 1.86 Billion raised a few eyebrows and now there are many clammoring for information on how they can be ahead of the curve with this kind of technology. Outthink Groups latest Seminar “Increase Impact with Audio and Video” will be answering these questions as well as giving hands on information to many products both software and hardware that are available for less than $100 or free.
The trainer for this seminar is Dan Portnoy. For the past year he’s been working with several business as a podcast producer and host. Portnoy hosts THE DROP, a high energy, bi-weekly podcast with a focus on music and pop culture. With thousands of downloads monthly the show has featured musical guests like Rogue Wave and Nada Surf and comedians like Paul Scheer from Vh1′s Best Week Ever. In addition to the popular media Portnoy is also co-host with the podcast for the Business Opportunities Weblog (www.business-opportunities.biz) which is the largest business blog on the web with monthly traffic of almost one million.
The seminar will be at Grace Church on Timberlake Road on December 7th at 5:30 and the cost is just $29. You can register online at www.outthinkgroup.com/seminars
