News for Small Business Owners Thinking About Podcasting

By Stacy Karacostas

As a small business owner, I love the Internet. So many cool tools are coming out every day that make it possible to do almost anything on a shoestring budget. You can create and sell products, do video and audio, create groups and membership sites, you name it.

It’s the great leveler of the playing field.

A while back I started using Utterz to do audio podcasts on my blog. Because I’m a big believer in using as many different types of media as possible to get your message into the world.

Well, after playing with it for a few weeks I can now officially say, “It Rocks!”

It’s fun and easy. And all you need is your phone to record your audios.

Plus, you get the bonus of connecting into the Utterz social network (and the Goggle points that come with that). You can easily add text and pics (and video too, though I haven’t tried that yet). And I’ve been getting terrific feedback on the audios.

You can even hook widgets into your blog and other sites so your podcasts get posted automatically wherever you want. And they’ve got more new features on the way. I highly recommend it.

It’s especially handy if you want to have a blog, but you hate to write. With this tool you can just do audios instead.

However, you should know that something has clearly happened behind the scenes for them, as they have changes their name and URL overnight. So if you’re thinking about using Utterz to do your own podcasting, you’ll now find the service located at http://www.utterli.com.

It doesn’t cost a thing.  And since you can do your podcasts from your phone you don’t need to know anything technical to get started.

All you need is a couple pieces of info so you can direct the service to imbed on your blog and you’re on your way. You can always have your Web designer of Virtual Assistant can handle that for you if you don’t know what to do.

So what are you waiting for? As the nice little recording on their phone system says “Utter and be heard”.

Have you tried Utterz or Utterli? If so, I’d love to know what you think.
And if you have any inside info on why they changed their name, let me know. I’m curious…

In either case just leave a comment below…
