Fit longer recordings onto a CD

Most CDs can hold about 70 minutes of audio without any problem. After that, I've heard of problems.

But did you know you can compress your audio file so longer recordings can fit onto a CD?

If you use just about any major audio editing software, you'll see a tool that lets you compress audio.

However, be careful when you try this. If you compress too much, the file will drop words and sounds. If you've ever been on a bad cell phone call, you'll know the feeling!

Barry Ackerman of GAC Recordings, a company that records live conferences and meetings, advises no more than a 7 percent compression to avoid problems. Of course, you should always sound check your work to make sure nothing was lost in the compression.

If you are running a minute or two over the normal CD length, this could be a neat trick to get all your recording to fit!

Good luck!

Don't Make Your Teleseminars Obsolete!

A client called me the other day to say she got a complaint from a customer about the date stamped on her CDs and handouts which she created from her teleseminars.

The teleseminar was from a year or so ago and the customer was afraid the material was out of date. To make matters worse, she wanted her money back!

For many of us, our material is evergreen, that is, it is relevant from now until about 2,000 years from now. The great info you give out today will be just as helpful tomorrow and next year and the year after that.

So why put a date on your materials? It can only hurt you and it can't help you.

Having given this sage advice to my client, I realized that I made the same bone-headed mistake on my web pages! I put the date of the seminar!

Why?

I can't think of a good reason anymore!

So I'm going to spend a lot of time correcting this mistake and taking the dates of the seminars off my web pages. Why risk sales from people who are concerned about the time-date of the seminar?
