    Are Ebooks That Important To Your Online Business?

    Comment
    Multimedia E-books
    Ebooks are part of the new frontier of cyberspace. They are an entirely new medium for sharing marketing information, ideas, techniques, and expert knowledge. Each day the number of people accessing the Internet grows, causing the exposure of your ebook to increase incrementally. It’s obvious why electronic self-publishing has become so popular so quickly. The publishing industry, I hope, does not intend to forever banish the printed word to the dustbin of history. Books in print have their own special qualities and merits, and the world would be diminished by their disappearance.

  4. MME-24: What Does The Future Of Multimedia Hold?

    Multimedia E-books
    What Does The Future Hold For Multimedia Online? Running Time: 7 Minutes Description: Digital Rights Management paves the way for something called micro payments. This means that you will be able to charge customers for access to any of your media files. For example, you might distribute your audio ebook free, but use DRM to protect the audio file links. Each time a user clicks on the audio portion your online billing system charges their credit card. Rules in the DRM system are set to charge for a single listen, to purchase and download or combinations of access levels. DRM is going to open a whole new level to publishing your audio ebooks.

    Multimedia E-books
    What Questions Should I Ask My Media Server Host? Running Time: 15 Minutes Description: Once you’ve made the decision to have your audio files hosted professionally you need to get the facts from your Web Site Host. Serving audio files isn’t the same as serving web pages. Does your host have servers dedicated to serving audio and video files? Do they have a big connection to the internet so your listeners will never have to wait when your hosts servers are busy? The costs can add up if you are serious about streaming and providing your customers with valuable audio information. Make sure you know up front how much you are paying for "the bandwidth transferred" and the storage of...

    Comment
    Multimedia E-books
    What Is A Codec Running Time: 20 Minutes Description: This is about as technical as it gets! A Codec’s is the software built into your computer that COMPRESSES your raw audio files when you encode them and then DECOMPRESSES the audio file when your customers play your audio files with. For example if you use RealNetworks Helix Producer Basic, you will be encoding your raw file with Real Networks Version 9 CODEC. When your customer listens to the audio file with the RealONE player, the RealONE player DECOMPRESSES the audio file and the customer hears your audio. The bottom line is that your customer’s machine must have a player that has the "same CODEC installed" as the one that you...

    Multimedia E-books
    How Can I Capture Phone Calls? Running Time: 25 Minutes Description: Recording phone calls and TeleClasses has to be the fastest way to create an audio e-book. This is an absolute no brainier. I show you a simple process that even lets you double end a phone call where you can earn money when you create the audio e-book, and then when you encode it, and embed it in your exe or pdf.

    Multimedia E-books
    What Are The Exact Steps? How Do I Create My Audio E-book? Running Time: 10 Minutes Description: Here’s an easy to follow recipe. Follow these 4 steps and create as many audio e-books as quickly as you want. In fact, I created 52 Products in 52 Days using this exact formula. While it all starts with creating your audio project, the way that you create your initial audio can affect how quickly the audio e-book is ready for sale. My preference is to skip the edit and encode steps by creating raw content that is professional enough for distribution. This allows me to create audio e-books quickly and get them ready to distribute in only minutes.

    What Is A Firewall? Running Time: 10 Minutes Description: If you decide to stream your audio files, you might run into problems with users who have a firewall.

    What Do You Need To Know About Security? Running Time: 8 Minutes Description: Pay attention! This small session could affect your bank account. You need to decide up front if you want to give people your audio files, or at least provide download access. If you allow physical downloads of your audio work, you lose complete control of the distribution. Which might work out well for you – think of flooding the market with your audio messages, or, it might stop money from entering your bank account when all your hard work can be downloaded for free on "Kazza".
