Comment on Why I Hate Flash Audio and What I Did About It by Sallie Goetsch

Yes, you’re right: Flash audio has its place. I do have flash players on my podcast pages, for those (like my mother) who find it easier just to click and play. But the title wouldn’t be as snappy if it were “Why I Hate Flash-Only Audio.”

I am not a great fan of lash as an audio delivery system either, primarily for the same reason that Sally mentions, you are tied to your place. I do however use it on my own site and others. Why, because within a 20 - 30 second grab you can communicate a messsage much more effectively than words alone. It’s not intended to be downloaded and consumed later, it’s ment to be a part of the whole experience.

Podcasts are better for just about every other way of taken targetted and chosen media with you. On trains, planes and automobiles yes, a lot of retor fitting of MP3 player connections to car stereos.

Anyway both have a place, hate is perhaps too strong a word. It all depends on your intent and the purpose the audio is provided for.

[…] By popular demand (well, by request from Shel and Neville), ‘Professor’ Goetsch returns for the third week in a row with a report for FIR 270. Her topics for today are the phenomenon of ‘Transcraping,’ how to alienate the press, how not to alienate the press, and why the Sansa Connect™ and Yahoo! Music To Go don’t have podcasting support.

Comment on Hiring a Ghostwriter 3: Stylistic Range by Sallie Goetsch

Hi, Steve. You do a beautiful job of proving your own point—that’s the most creative spelling of “regurgitated” I’ve ever seen.

I run a well known website http://www.articleland.co.uk and have to say a lot of the articles we receive are well written, although why people do not use a spell checker is beyond me. However, some of the articles are absolute rubbish or regurgerated PLR content. The people that submit these articles could certainly benefit from using ghost writing services. I’ve used them before in the past, and it is so true you really do need to see the quality of what these writers have produced in the past.

Consider it a shopping trip to the local mall, you wouldn’t buy rubbish there, you always check the goods first.

I shouldn’t let such a blatant ad through as a comment, but at least it’s relevant to the article and promoting something useful to my readers.

Comment on Can You Really Write a Book in 3 Months? by Sallie Goetsch

Self-publishing–and the use of POD houses like Nothing Binding–is appropriate for some authors, but not for all of them. It depends what you want to accomplish, what your budget is, whether it’s important to get your book into chain bookstores, and so on. I’m going to write an article about this eventually.

Very interesting post. I am curious to try it out myself using your outline. I am curious to know if you endorse self-publishing or not. I have had great success as an independent author at http://nothingbinding.com/
I was hoping to check back with to see what opinion you may have on this idea. Personally, I feel it is well worth it.
