Quarter 4 Podcast Advertising Available

Posted on by

As many of you know I wear many hats in the podcasting space. My main focus on a day to day basis is building RawVoice . One thing we have highly successful at is signing advertisers for ad deals in the 3000+ podcasters that are part of our family of podcast communities.

Over the past week I have been ramping up for Quarter 4 advertising, the dollars that are being infused this quarter will be our biggest quarter ever. The quickest way to take advantage of those offers is belong to list your show at Blubrry.com

While we have over 1000 of those podcasters on advertising buys our main focus continues to be creating tools and services that make it easier for podcasters to produce and promote their podcast.

If you have not checked out our communities I encourage you to join, as the benefits of membership actually translate into a pretty significant dollar value each month .

The 2008 People’s Choice Podcast Awards start in about a week. We have made some significant changes to the Sponsorship Levels. This is in response to a lot of feedback.

For the first time ever we will take sponsorships from podcasters and we have scaled back the number of corporate sponsors and the sponsors levels.

The committee has also been made aware of a concentrated effort by several shows and groups to try and manipulate who gets nominated and then concentrate voting. I feel very confident that our grading methodology of those shows nominated will reduce the effects of those trying to game the system.

I look forward to a great event.

Announcing 2008 People’s Choice Podcast Awards

Posted on by

The 2008 People’s Choice Podcast Awards Nominations get underway on September 15th. This years awards will be run very similar to last year with a big change to the awards ceremony.

The awards ceremony will be held online. We will be using a variety of technology but no longer will we be constrained by time. The awards ceremony that was streamed on Ustream.TV last year reached nearly 2500 people. This way we are guaranteed to reach a large number of listeners and also include all of the podcasters that win.

Participation in the awards ceremony will require participant to simply have a webcam. The 2007 received an amazing amount of listener participation and we look forward to recognizing those in the space that win awards.

Todd Cochrane Founder of the People’s Choice Podcast Awards!

Note: We do have sponsorship opportunities available for the 2008 event!

2008 People’s Choice Podcast Awards

Posted on by

I am working on my plan for the 2008 People’s Choice Podcast Awards. I am looking at some major changes, part of it has to do that we have no venue at New Media Expo this year.

We have been able to hold the event on a very small budget in the past, and I do not think this is possible this year with the NME being in Vegas the cost are considerably higher. I am open to suggestions.

One thing I thought we could do is have the awards ceremony virtually, while not as glamorous we realized last year that more people watched the awards ceremony via Ustream.tv than actually attended the event.

I will have more information shortly. But don’t fear we will have a great event regardless of the awards venue. Heck I might even consider having the awards ceremony at a Podcamp event. [PodcastAwards.com]
