Work at Home Moms (WAHM's) and Podcasting
The biggest challenge for any work-at-home Mom is to present
their business in a professional manner to potential clients or
customers. On a daily basis, WAHM's strive to present a positive
image of themselves and their business.
How can a work-at-home Mom promote this positive image? A great
way to accomplish this goal is through podcasting. It has been
said that the greatest advertising for any business is positive
word-of-mouth. The best way to accomplish this goal is with
podcasting because it gives you a voice.
Podcasting allows WAHM's to share their expertise, knowledge and
even personality with potential clients. If you decide to
podcast, you will be promoting your business in the best way
possible.
When a possible client or customer listens to your podcast, they
will hear your voice. As a result, they will develop a bond and
trust in you over time. Subsequently, this will build more
customers for your business.
When you are doing your podcast, don't be afraid to share too
much knowledge. If you hold back information, this could
potentially hurt you and the image that people will have of your
business. Your potential customers or clients will judge you
based on the information that you share in your podcast. Thus,
the most important element is to share valuable information.
An important element to keep in mind is that your podcast
should not be an entire commercial for your business. If you do
this, people will be turned off and they will turn off your
podcast. You should strive to share helpful information with
your audience. As a result, they will appreciate your sincerity
and integrity. It is perfectly acceptable to share all of your
business and contact information with your audience at the end
of your podcast.
As a work-at-home Mom who is podcasting, you will build positive
name recognition within your particular niche. The audience will
look to you as an expert within your particular field.
Consequently, this is the greatest promotion for any
business.
The ultimate goal is to stand out above your competition. Is
your competition podcasting? They are probably not podcasting
and don't realize the tremendous positive impact that this could
have on their business.
When you record your podcast, it is imperative that you don't
have any background noises (children, pets, television, radio,
etc.) This could potentially distract your listeners and they
might turn your show off. Your goal is to present the best
possible image that you can to potential clients.
As a WAHM, professionalism is critical to your success.
Podcasting can be the greatest element for your business if it
is done in the appropriate manner.
If you take the necessary steps to produce a professional
podcast with valuable information, you will see an increase in
clients and customers over time.
