Podcasting is a terrific low cost marketing strategy that can assist you in build buzz about your brand, providing great information to your potential clients, position you as the expert in your field and help you attract more clients.

However if implemented without care, your business podcast could in fact damage your reputation and not build equity in your personal brand.

If you are considering establishing a business podcast, make sure that you embrace these 3 tips to help you build your personal brand and reputation:

• Quality content – with the increasing number of podcasts, make sure that the content you create in your podcast is relevant and compelling to your audience.Your clients and potential clients are time poor and have many choices available to them for free information. Do not waste their time or your resources producing a podcast that is not rich in quality content.The listeners of your business podcast are not going to be interested in hearing all about the details of your personal life – get to the point fast.
• Quality delivery – your personal brand is expressed in everything you do and that includes how you express yourself in your podcast.Even if you have great content if your recording is poor and difficult to listen to, you can be sure that your podcast listeners will not persevere no matter how much they love you.Ensure that you have a high quality recording – Skype is wonderful but not the solution to  record and create a high quality podcast if you want to position your business as a premium brand.Investing in editing your podcast will also enhance the delivery of the podcast.
• Build your traffic – if you are just getting started in podcasting there are some terrific low costs and no cost solutions available including hosting your business podcast on no cost and low cost platforms.These are ideal if you want to try podcasting and see if it podcasting is a medium that you enjoy. However if you are serious about business podcasting to build your personal brand, I highly recommend that the “home” of your business podcast is your own website or blog.You can host the audio with a third party, but your goal should be to build your online identity and online brand, therefore driving traffic back to your blog or website where you host your business podcast is imperative.

Creating a business podcast is an excellent low cost marketing tool that can build your reputation as an expert in your field, enhance your personal brand with an engaging high quality content and attract more clients.

But as with all tools it’s how the craftsman uses puts a tool to use and and the quality of the raw materials that creates a work of art or something for the trash can.
