Musicians Discover Right Now How to Quickly and Easily Create Streaming Audio and Video Like a Pro

Streaming Audio and Video has always been available to the large corporate sites and techies. Now you can use inexpensive software to produce your own streaming audio or video just like the professionals with no knowledge of programming required. Lets face it when a person comes to your website what would they rather do listen or read.

Hint - You are trying to get people to listen to your music?

Best of all no special servers, monthly fees or additional costs….

With the web surfer becoming much more "web savvy" than they were a year ago, they are expecting not only information, but an entertaining web experience.

Why Add Streaming Audio or Video to Your Website

*Credibility - Anyone can add some text and graphics however music is a very emotive medium and if your visitors can hear samples then you will find they will have a much more positive response. If done properly you can also generate some good sales if that's what your wanting.

*Auditory - Statistics show that 30% of surfers are auditory and so if you do not have audio then you are loosing out on a lot of traffic.

* Stickability - Our customers have proven that audio has dramatically increased the time people spend on their site. So many people are now able to get traffic to their websites using Pay Per Click advertising however the next main consideration is keeping them there so you get more from your advertising dollar.
Tip! Unlike P2P file trading, P2P video streaming can be used to broadcast live video content using several encoding formats and is supported on various computer operating systems.

* Current Marketplace - is awash with TV and radio programs so people are already used to the concept and are expecting it on websites. With the average computer being multimedia enabled they almost feel dejected if they can not utilize all the functions.

* The Wow Factor - At present only around 5% of sites utilise any form of streaming media so it creates a wow factor and delivers a lot more word of mouth traffic than any other form of web page functions.

* The Online Population - Streamies, those users who watch or listen to streaming online, represent 44% of all Internet users and 27% of Americans overall. By far, streamies are the most valuable consumer group on the Internet. Streaming media consumers are far more interactive, are more oriented to e-commerce and spend more time online compared with Internet users who don't stream." (EdisonMedia Study, Jan. 2001)

You do not need any technical ability. The latest programs are so easy to use that anyone can add streaming audio or video to their website and stand out from the crowd.
Tip! The best thing about this is you can have a wireless car with all the video streaming from satellite and then WiFi'ing it throughout the car. Forget tearing up seats and floorboards or buying special head rests, not any more, wireless pure and simple.

Marketeers and business people have always known that a well-placed audio stream can increase sales and signups to their products and services. The problem has always been that the average person could not afford the high cost of special servers or programmers to be able to use this technology. This has all changed with Streaming Audio and Video software available on the market today.

Audio's power comes from its ability to engage more of your visitor's senses. The more senses you engage, the easier it will be to effectively communicate. Instead of just reading your words and looking at your picture, you can communicate with your voice or music? and the voices of your clients.

Your site has been sending non-verbal messages for years; now it's time to break free and let it send a message everyone can hear. Adding audio to your website is not only easy to do, it can help you gain the trust of your site's visitors, thus increasing your conversion rate. So stop wasting your time and money, and start getting the sales you may be missing.
Tip! If you run a large company or have staff in more than one place, then video streaming becomes a real boon. In addition to the options available to small businesses, you can use it for corporate communications.

Streaming Video Revolution!

This year will be remembered as the year the Internet Video Revolution has taken over the Internet and simultaneously left many people wondering what streaming videos are all about.

For the first time in history, advertisers are spending more money for Internet advertising than for Television advertising. With the advent of Google Video and Mac Video websites, the Internet has now provided a way for individuals, businesses and video techies to showcase their videos via the Internet.

159 million Americans own cell phones with video capabilities. 58 thousand Mac Ipods are being sold every day and we are spending twice the amount of time on the Internet than watching TV.

I always tell my audience when I give a lecture about this topic to go into an Apple store and see who is in it! Take a good look around and watch what technology is being used and who is using it. And that technology is streaming video. I am amazed at how many business owners, expo promoters and webmasters are up in the air when it comes to this subject of streaming video and how it is changing the way we do business and how website are now being converted into their own TV sites.

A great indicator of this is to see what companies are using streaming media and how they are using it on their websites. So the next time you log on, take a good look around and learn from these companies if you have not done so.

And just a quick note, a streaming video commercial about your product or service can help increase your sales by as much as 85%.
