Tonight, we will discuss different ways that you can still host a call on Talkshoe, but have your listeners go to your web site instead! http://www.thenewmediaroundtable.com

Sometimes, support can be a little...shall we say, technical. So, meet the "new" way to get support via an educational angle. We'll talk about it tonight! http://www.talkshoesupportlive.com

In an effort to help hosts to promote their live shows, a small beta program has been put into place starting tonight that will will automatically, every hour on the hour, tweet out what shows are Live at the time the program runs. Here’s how it works:

If your show is scheduled to start at the top of the hour, say 9:00pm EST, and you are on and connected and ready to do your show, the tweet program will, at 9:00pm EST, run and your show, along with anyone else that is running a live show then at that time, will have a tweet sent out to Twitter to a special account.

@TalkshoeLive has been setup for this purpose and it is also setup that when you follow this account, your Twitter account will automatically be followed as well! In this way, you will be able to be easily notified when the live shows are appearing on Talkshoe!

Now, if your show begins on the half hour, say 8:30pm EST, then when the program runs at the top of the hour, and you are still doing your show, your live show will be tweeted along with all the other live shows still running at that time! So, if you have an extremely long episode one night, you might get a little extra promotion going your way!

We have placed a special widget at http://www.talkshoesupport.com that will continually update with all of the live shows and again, give you some extra promotion for your shows.

Each tweet contains the name of show, the call in information and a clickable link to take anyone to your Talkshoe Show Page to join your show!

We will work to add to this program and maybe bring out some other useful programs to help you with your promotional needs. As we do, we will be sure to keep you informed!

When you started podcasting, you probably never thought about having to become a customer service agent in order to please your listeners. The cold, hard truth is, every podcast host MUST give good customer service to their listeners, especially if they want them to come back, time and time again!

Hosts on Talkshoe, have an advantage and they can fill out their show profiles and user profiles to include not only e-mail addresses, but web site addresses too! In this way, when a listener wants to contact a Talkshoe Host, they have several ways to do that. Ok, that’s fine and dandy, but what if you don’t want to post your e-mail address publically for all to see?

One way to offer e-mail contact to your listeners, without revealing your e-mail address, is by using a contact form script that will take care of this for you. You can see an example of such a script at http://www.podcastsupport.com and this is a live, functioning script, so feel free to try it out!

We talked about other ways to offer good customer service as well as reasons why you need to offer good customer service, so listen to the episode in the player below!
