Thanks for an inspiring thought. I’ve been struggling with how to enrich the content on my blog beyond simple links and images, but had wondered how to proceed.

I have recently been conducting some depth interviews to research industry feedback on the course I teach at City Univeristy (Book Marketing module on the MA in Publishing Studies). I had started to think about using some of the contacts made to do a talking heads on particular topics I won’t have time to cover in the teaching sessions.

This makes me think that the handheld digital recorder I used for the interviews, could easily be marshalled for a podcast Q&A. Will keep you posted as I’d appreciate any feedback once posted.

[...] An interesting article/video surrounding how to use podcasting in coordination with books. I’d skip the video probably. there’s some interesting stuff towards the middle. [...]

Thanks, Leesa – glad the video has been so successful; I shall look forward to the next ones! I do think video is really going to take off as a way of promoting books next year – and is something I shall be doing a lot more with myself.

Excellent ideas, Jon. And I’m glad you noticed the tactic I’m using to promote my own book. Seems like it’s working. Since launching the video on YouTube, my list has grown 32%. I’m releasing a few other videos over the coming weeks, so I’ll report more numbers to you in the next couple months.
