Great thoughts on getting speaking gigs. To answer your question...The reason I'm recording on a telephone is that it is fast, easy, and can happen from wherever I am. Plus it's automatically uploaded to multiple sites for me because I'm using www.utterli.com. I do have a mic as well as a digi recorder. But then I have to jump through all the hoops of uploading and embedding to my blog and Website. Which is just too time consuming (I do this for other, longer, audios already as downloads). When I can, I use my landline instead of my cell. But I'd rather get great content out there, even if the sound quality is less than perfect, than not get it done at all. :-) Thanks for the comments and suggestions Jim!

Thanks for the post. If you're looking for more speaking opportunities (which I do), it helps to just let everyone you know: friends, family, acquaintances, business colleagues. I've gotten gigs just by letting people know I'm available and can address a topic that's of interest to their gathering. I also am volunteering in this year's United Way Campaign as a Loaned Executive, which gives a number of short speaking gigs but also gives you more networking opportunities. Plus it's a good confidence builder if you're new to speaking! I am curious why you recorded your podcast on a telephone? At least it sounds that way. The cost to get a good professional microphone is under 0 and it doesn't take much to learn to use recording software (check out one of my other sites at http://digitalaudioworld.com). The investment is well worth it in terms of putting a professional sounding audio podcast product out for your listeners! Yes, sound advice, Stacy. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for the post. If you're looking for more speaking opportunities (which I do), it helps to just let everyone you know: friends, family, acquaintances, business colleagues. I've gotten gigs just by letting people know I'm available and can address a topic that's of interest to their gathering. I also am volunteering in this year's United Way Campaign as a Loaned Executive, which gives a number of short speaking gigs but also gives you more networking opportunities. Plus it's a good confidence builder if you're new to speaking! I am curious why you recorded your podcast on a telephone? At least it sounds that way. The cost to get a good professional microphone is under 0 and it doesn't take much to learn to use recording software (check out one of my other sites at http://digitalaudioworld.com). The investment is well worth it in terms of putting a professional sounding audio podcast product out for your listeners! Yes, sound advice, Stacy. Thanks for the post.

Great thoughts on getting speaking gigs. To answer your question...The reason I'm recording on a telephone is that it is fast, easy, and can happen from wherever I am. Plus it's automatically uploaded to multiple sites for me because I'm using www.utterli.com. I do have a mic as well as a digi recorder. But then I have to jump through all the hoops of uploading and embedding to my blog and Website. Which is just too time consuming (I do this for other, longer, audios already as downloads). When I can, I use my landline instead of my cell. But I'd rather get great content out there, even if the sound quality is less than perfect, than not get it done at all. :-) Thanks for the comments and suggestions Jim!
