ExerciseRadio. com, the Free Health and Fitness Podcast Network is quietly making groundbreaking use of the podcast in a new way. Finding itself featured in iTunes top 20 Health & Nutrition Category was a godsend, but made it tough for the tiny operation to keep up with the demands for new content. The decision to invite other content providers was made and in the process stumbled upon a strategy that's turned into real income. Call it Podcast 'Edutising': free informational podcasts as effective marketing tools that don't turn off website members.
"We've found our members purchase content they've discovered in our podcasts from some of our providers because they've already gained something they found useful, in effect... they've already become 'customers'. We never expected to be able to offer content providers this unique opportunity. We simply wanted to put forth useful podcasts that had information value to our members, we never expected to do more than break even with some Google clicks. We're very psyched, as it's a win-win for everyone." says Terri Walsh, Celebrity Personal Trainer and Owner of ExerciseRadio. com.
ExerciseRadio. com has formed strategic partnerships with Palm Pictures and The Hypnosis Network soon featuring video podcasts from The New York City Ballet, audio podcasts from The Hypnosis Network, amongst a myriad of other workouts, yoga podcasts, tips, nutritional information, recipes, strength training, offered in text based articles on the website as well as the audio and video podcast format. All the content is free to registered members of the site.
This represents a groundroots innovative opportunity for health, fitness, exercise, nutrition or self-development content providers to offer 'useful bits' of their content to the general public in a non-threatening format. The customer gets a usable and functional sample of information and establishes a relationship to the provider through a trusted source. 'We are very selective, the content has to be USEFUL above all else, well done, factual, and be of essential interest to our members, says Walsh. We don't want infomercials, it's unnecessary anyway, our members are too savvy for that."
From a business perspective ExerciseRadio. com is making the podcast effective, informative as well as revenue-producing.
