HAPPY ANNIVERSARY WISDOM A love letter from Graciela Moore. WHAT IS WISDOM? One might think that the word “wisdom” implies a milestone that requires years of personal experiences ranging from trauma to tragedy, failure, bankruptcy, homelessness, or a plethora of other complicated scenarios that may change our lives forever. That may have been the case in the past but now we have an app for that. In the fall of 2021, a new Social Audio app was released to the world.

TRY THESE SOCIAL AUDIO PLATFORMS FOR BETTER ONLINE NETWORKING A Guest Blog Post By Jerry Nolan There are so many platforms now that it could take months to check them all. At the last count, there were almost 100 different Social Audio apps to choose from. For that reason, I am only going to concentrate on some of the main platforms. Twitter Spaces Clubhouse LinkedIn Audio Events Wisdom Limor (My Personal Favourite) TWITTER SPACES “Spaces” are Twitter’s version of Social Audio. This is a great platform for meeting people, the membership with audio here is huge and you will find they like to engage a lot. It’s still in mono and the sound isn’t very good, along with the fact you can’t use a microphone that’s USB is annoying. There is no desktop version you can chat in, however you can listen to spaces on the desktop and enjoy them as a listener only mode. As you start a space you can record the room, start as host but you can only get 2 co-hosts , no more. You can have up to 10 speakers in total as well as your team. There’s a chat option in some spaces and a clips option in others and some even have both, but Twitter is selective of who gets theirs and every space is different. The community is active and supportive for most and I find it’s the best option for having fun and enjoying some excellent chats in spaces. It leads the way with so many involved here, this is the best part of Twitter...

Twitter Spaces are a fantastic way to grow your online community. They allow you to connect with other people who share your interests, and they provide a great opportunity for networking. In this blog post, we will discuss how to use Twitter Spaces to grow your online network and connect with more people. Look for Twitter Spaces that are relevant to you Twitter Spaces are audio-based chat rooms that can be joined by anyone on the Twitter app. They’re a great way to connect with like-minded people, learn new things, and grow your Twitter network. Here’s how to use them effectively: There are Spaces for all kinds of interests, from cooking to politics, from social media to fashion. If you can’t find one that’s specific enough for your interests, try searching for broader topics. For example, if you’re interested in photography, you could try searching for “technology” or “social media.” Once you’ve found a few relevant Spaces, start listening in on the conversations. You don’t need to participate right away; just get a feel for the discussion. When you’re ready to jump in, start with small comments or questions. Don’t try to hijack the conversation or sell anything If you contribute valuable insights and make connections with other Twitter users, you’ll quickly grow your Twitter network as well as being a trusted resource in your industry.

HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN PODCAST SERIES USING TWITTER SPACES An Interview With Annemarie Cross www.AnnemarieCross.com How Do You Record Twitter Spaces? At the moment I am using a Rodecaster Pro and I love it. Rode is an Australian company so I love them even more. I also have one of their microphones as well. Rodecaster Pro I’m running that through to my computer and I’m recording Twitter Spaces via Audacity. I’m also recording via StreamYard to the various platforms that allow livestreaming. How Do You Edit Twitter Spaces? Now that the file is recorded in Audacity, we edit using Audacity. It’s a fantastic solution for PC users. I also know that Mac users can use Garage Band for a similar effect. There’s a number of different platforms you can use to edit, but I primarily use Audacity. You can download that as a free resource, and it’s got all of the functions that I need. It has some very simple features enabling the files to be edited quite easily. Where Do You Host Your Edited Twitter Spaces Files? Great question. I remember a mentor of mine when I first started my business. I was mindful about where you build your brand, your reputation, your assets, and I use and have always used Blubrry.com. They are a paid hosting service. Libsyn is another one that I have heard lots of great things about. There’s a lot of other sites that I know that others have spoken about as well. Just be mindful that, on some free sites, you don’t own the content being shared and if they suddenly disappeared, what happens to all that great content? Something to consider if you are doing your podcast for business purposes. How Do You Promote Your Podcasts? There is so much opportunity to your podcast before you push record. Think about the marketing strategy for beforehand, during, and after the show. Identify some key things that you want to do and get those working well. Then continue to expand so that you’ve got lots of different things working together. Do What You Can With What You Have If you try and do too many things at once you will end up getting overwhelmed. Just a couple of things done really well will make all the difference. You create incredible video campaigns, small snippets of video & the questions as graphics. You then share those out to your community and that’s what we can all do as well. “HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN PODCAST SERIES USING TWITTER SPACES” https://t.co/ZmSAXxq51o Featuring @AnnemarieCoach#TwitterSpaces#SpacesHost #Podcasting #Success #VirtuallyUnlimitedAudio cc @Kyriakixt #NewYork pic.twitter.com/Qpfc1XhT0u — Keith Keller (@KeithKeller) December 9, 2021 When you...

“TWITTER SPACES 101” TO SCIENCE WITH LOVE Guest blog post by Jason O. Zackowski Twitter is used by a vast array of people from every walk of life. Among those on Twitter is a multitude of scientists, experts in their field, who know in amazing details the science behind some of the most profound things in our universe. Squids, Bees, Black Holes, Volcanoes and Dogs, you name it, there is an amazing someone, somewhere studying it. Twitter Spaces could become that audio place that, for free, you could listen and learn from these amazing people. Inclusive and Powerful, with a good host Our account, @bunsenbernerbmd jumped in on the ground floor of spaces and we are blown away at the power of this audio space. We have been inviting scientists each week to speak about their area of expertise and the engagement, respect and amazing questions the audience has for these experts has been truly heartwarming. In this time of science misinformation, it is remarkable to bring a human side to those who have devoted their life to a specific area of knowledge. Not only that, but Spaces is inclusive. Anyone with a Twitter account, which is free, can join these spaces and interact. Science Communication Takes a Leap Forward Our account uses our dogs, Bunsen and Beaker, to teach science everyday. We sneak in the science alongside cute pictures of the dogs, which has been shockingly effective. We have found that in Spaces, due to the interaction that people can have, science communication has become even easier. No longer does a scientist...

WHY TWITTER SPACES REALLY COULD BE THE NEXT BIG THING Guest Blog Post By Dr. Prash Shanbhag So what are Twitter Spaces and why could they be the next big thing in marketing? Twitter Spaces are basically audio chats on the Twitter platform. Think of them as a conference call between people using Twitter. Another way to think about them is a live seminar using only sound. There are many similarities one can draw from it and that goes to show that it has been a long time coming.

Twitter has decided to take a shot at the trend as well so in this post we will a closer look at Twitter Spaces: What are Twitter Spaces? How to use Twitter Spaces? How to add speakers?

CREATING AN ONLINE CONCERT EXPERIENCE A Guest Blog By Phoebe O’Brien 2020 has been dubbed “the year of postponed events.” More than a thousand events were delayed or cancelled because of the coronavirus outbreak. “While some musicians opted to reschedule concerts, the pandemic forced others to abandon their tours. Concerts and festivities will be among the last events to be allowed after social distancing rules are relaxed, so music fans will have to wait a long time to attend these big gatherings. Musicians may also have to manage their expectations if they wish to perform for their audience over the next few years.” Alister Clare of Credit Capital. Instead, some musicians have resorted to virtual concerts to try and compensate for missed performances. Virtual concerts and engagements offer various income sources. Here’s how you can tap into virtual concerts and thrive through the pandemic. Ticket Sales Musicians can sell their virtual concert tickets online in a variety of ways. Whether the artists categorize their virtual performance as an event or digital material will determine the best ticket sales strategy. To gain revenue from selling tickets for your virtual concert, you need an e-ticketing or event registration application that helps you to personalise your receipts and message to ticket purchasers. The app should also provide links to your virtual content. You may also want to utilise a system that generates and sends unique URLs, so each ticket purchaser only has access to the material. If the technology does not provide this feature, you could generate unique URLs using your email marketing platform, like Mailchimp’s custom URL tool....

MULTISTREAMING MADE SUPER SIMPLE Guest Blog Post By Dr. Prash Shanbhag We set out to test multistreaming software and evaluated each based on the number of platforms they streamed to simultaneously, functionality, user-friendliness, and value for money.
