Make Your Website Announcements Page Even Better

Your website announcements page is important. But sometimes you really need something to stand out, and more importantly, you need them to do something. Often times there's something you need people to sign up for, to join or even just review a permission slip. Whatever it is, an audio redirector can help you improve the number of people who actually accomplish the task.

Another great reason to use an audio redirector is when your announcement is really complicated. Isn't it easier just to tell someone what's going on sometimes? An audio redirector will allow you to "talk" directly to your people - and avoid figuring out how to write it out.

So how does an audio redirector work? Well, first you need a microphone. Most of the time your laptop has one built in. And often times your desktop came with one. Otherwise, you can get one with headphones so you can use it with Skype or just buy a simple one. Either way, we're talking about $10 or so.

Now, don't get frightened, this is really easy. Windows media player will record what you say into the mic, as will RealPlayer - so you don't need new software. Just record your announcement "This is Dan Morris, I wanted to tell you about the banquet, where we need volunteers and what your kids need to do. blah blah blah. . . "

Then, and this is the good part, you use an audio redirector on your website to load up the .mp3 file you just recorded. The audio redirector will ask you where you want to send the "listener" once the .mp3 file has finished playing - automatically. So you can have the sign-up page, the order page - - - whatever page you want to pop up right after their done listening to your explanation.

Website Streaming Audio Uses

Streaming audio is becoming more and more common with successful websites that are able to draw a considerable amount of visitors and most importantly, retain them in the long term. With streaming audio, you are literally providing the visitor an option to consume or use the content through their choice. Today's world and the market that we each and everybody are a part of is all about choices. Your use of streaming audio is only limited to your imagination and in case you are a little short of ideas or needs some brainstorming to start anew, then have a look at some scenarios where you can employ streaming audio for your benefit.

1. Personal Introduction - You have a personal website or a blog where you want to introduce yourself which includes but not limited to your name, where you live, what you do and what all are you interested in. Is it wonderful when you can speak a little bit about yourself and the whole world can listen to it?. It also facilitates a direct interaction between you and the visitor whom you do not want to lose. You might be thinking that a video is more appropriate, well, you need to sit in a good background with proper lighting, well groomed and dressed and also add along with this the effort towards a well edited clip. You can record an audio introduction about yourself even in your underwear and nobody is going to know it unless you boast it.

2. Give an Interview - You have in course of time, became an expert in your field which each and every one should be looking at, and you are requested to give an interview. You can give a written transcript of the interview BUT there is an enormous amount of authenticity if visitors can listen you speaking out on their favorite topic.

3. Welcome new visitors to your site - Nothing can be as impressive, inspiring, unforgotten and confidence boosting as a welcoming streaming audio message that you can put on your site for new visitors. You can simply put a "Thanks for visiting http:// www. yoursite.com" in text but imagine the difference that makes when you see a "Thank you" message pasted on to the door of a store and when the store owner comes to you and thank personally for coming to his store. An audio message can be the difference between a one time and a loyal visitor.

4. Customer/Fan testimonials - Many a time, you would want to sell products like software or e-books which is how most monetize their sites. A customer testimonial is an indispensable, inseparable, inevitable yet the most forgotten part of a sales copy. Consumers throughout history have relied upon the recommendations and reviews of others while arriving at decisions and when they hear a voice form a real human who says that the product is good or effective or does what it claims to be, then it subjectively assures him and provides the confidence to buy the product.
