What is a Podcast? – A Great Business Opportunity

Many of you may not have heard the name “Podcast”. And in countries like India, where the Internet Infrastructure is very poor, people don’t know much about “What is Podcast?”

But let me tell you that, there is a great Business Opportunity hidden in the podcasting. First of all let us understand in layman’s language that What is Podcast and why it is the future of the Internet?

Well, in simple words, Podcast is the Combination of 2 words – iPod + Broadcast = Podcast

Those who don’t know anything about iPod, let me tell you that it is the MP3 product by Apple. You can hear Music in it. Click Here to learn more about iPod.

Now in Podcast, you can record your own Audio file by recording your own voice and put it on your Blog or website as a Download Link. So anybody can hear your Audio File.

Here is the Example of Podcast File: Choosing a Business from Yaro Stark of Entrepreneurs-Journey.com This is 18 minute audio file by Yaro.

Podcasting is the future of the internet. Right now you are listening your favourite radio channel. But in future, all of this world will listen podcast only. Not only this but you can subscribe Podcast just like RSS feed for content. Means whenever a Blog owner will release a Podcast, your iTunes will automatically download it for you.

The Best part about podcasting is that, you can only hear those podcasts which are interested for you. In traditional Radio, you have to listen all the broadcasts. Another advantage of Podcasting is that, it will reduce the entry level of Internet Entrepreneurs in Entertainment & Broadcasting Industry.

In the future, even a School Going Internet Entrepreneur will compete the famous Radio Channels from his home by launching his own Online Podcasting Company.

So the next decade is of Podcasting. Think that weather your Business fits into this Business Opportunity or not?
