If you’re anything like me, you have searched high and low for blogging tips and how-tos to improve your blog, only to read the same tips over and over again.
One blogging tip Probloggers fail to mention is providing transcripts of your audios or videos. Simply called podcast transcription.
What most probloggers writing about how to blog will tell you include -
- Content is king.Content should be SEO-optimized.
Content is for your customers (not other bloggers)
You should repurpose your contents and multiply your contents because search engines love new contents.
You should post new contents regularly and consistently
Have your own product if making money online is a goal for you
etc etc
All these tips on how to blog can be addressed by providing transcripts of your audios or videos.
By utilizing the services of a podcast transcriptionist (hint! hint! me?) you can provide the much needed content (written text) for your blog. Written text is search-engine friendly and easier to SEO-optimized than MP3s and videos.
Remember that some people prefer reading to watching or listening to a podcast. They can always reference the transcipt when listening to a podcast in their own time.
The hearing impaired and customers for whom English is their second language (at least 1/3 of your customers??) will definitely prefer the transcript over the audio.
Don’t confuse your need to let your customers hear you and see you (podcasting) to how they prefer understanding and capturing ideas.
How you utilized your transcripts is limited only by your imagination. Provide it for free downloads. Compile a host of transcripts into an ebook. Turn it into a blog post. Send it to another blogger for a guest post.
If you are confinced podcast transcription is certainly good for you and you blog, write to me! Let’s us take you to the next level. Seriously.
