In this business podcast, you will meet someone whose DOG blogs and podcasts for them!

Kim Bloomer, of Aspenbloom Pet Care, is our business podcaster today. Kim has gained so much from podcasting, including a book deal, print magazine column, sponsors, and much more.

Kim is a perfect example of how podcasting on a consistent basis has a huge effect on the number of listeners you have.

She has successfully branded herself, and is now well-known within her industry.

Her originality is another thing that sets her business podcast apart.

Having her dog blog for her was a great idea, and wins over listeners in a unique way.

You can find Kim at http://www.AspenbloomPetCare.com and also on CoolCast Radio, http://www.bark-n-blog.com/, and http://www.AnimalTalkNaturally.com

Join us again next week for the 1st Business Podcasters podcast, here at Podcaster Central.

In today's business podcast, we will discover how podcasting can revolutionize your business and your customers!

Join me today as I interview Paige Eissinger of 2 Smart Chix, podcaster of View from the Coop and assistant producer of Jammin' With Slam on Cool Cast radio. Paige, a web designer and talk-show host, is a self-described podcasting addict now. She can't get enough of it (as you'll hear in the podcast).

There are several great reasons for businesses to podcast...

Your network expands as your meet other podcasters, and podcast listeners. You interview them, they interview you, you exchange podcasting tips and tools and everyone benefits.

You give potential clients an opportunity to "take you with them" and learn about you "on the go". They aren't chained to a radio and/or a time frame. They can download you and listen to you in the car, on a walk, wherever they choose. And they can listen to you "hands free".

Present and future customers will be more predisposed to believe you are an expert in your field, and treat you as such. (Listen to the story about a client of an entrepreneur whose whole outlook changed after listening to the entrepreneur's podcast!)

Your target market comes looking for you - not the other way around! If someone responds better to audio, they will go the route of podcasting. And when they want information, they will come to you if you offer what they need.

You can't always get across your passion for your subject solely with written words. People get excited about a subject when you are excited about it, and your voice is the most effective tool for igniting that passion in others.

So sit back (or run, or drive, or whatever you're doing while you are listening to this!) and enjoy!
