I’ve heard the man in action and seen his written work…,
…on his website, shownotes, and podcasts. He practices what he preaches, and his own podcasts are a model for quality audio, intelligent and unobtrusive use of music, clear structure, and being enticing, yet informative. His online material on getting started in podcasting puts a lot of useful material in one place, just what the doctor ordered to do the most important thing: diving in and turning out a quality product from the word go.
His forté is promotion, to make yourself known, for developing niche credibility, product recognition, etc. and doing so using internet technology and information based services/products. As such, the name of the game is proper presentation of that most critical information: who you are and what you have to offer. Jason Van Orden models how to do so professionally, compellingly without being annoying. No overuse of exclamation points and superlatives, here.
I’ve been using his information to get my own personal and professional fledgling podcasts off the ground. Cannot recommend his work enough.

|The most USEFUL podcasting book I’ve read,
If you are a podcaster, or even thinking about being a podcaster, get this book. Also, subscribe to Jason Van Orden’s blog and podcast, “The Podcasting Underground”. You’ll thank me later for this sound advice. Why? Because this tome is chock full of explicit, practical, hands-on, darned useful advice for how to publicize your podcast effectively, and build a growing community of real fans for your show. This stuff really works. I’ve been using Jason’s recommendations for a few months now on several corporate podcasts that I produce, and we’ve seen an immediate and marked increase in the number of listeners and subscribers, as well as those that want to contribute back to the ongoing success of the show — a solid base of participating fans, not just passive listeners. What I love best about this book is that Jason isn’t afraid to tell you precisely what kinds of tools you should use, and how to best use them. He puts many generally held beliefs about podcast promotion into proper perspective, and helps you focus on those specific actions that can produce real results. I’ve read almost a dozen books on podcasting over the last few months, but this is the one that I find myself pulling off the bookshelf over and over. It *is* that good. Highly recommended.

|Grow your podcast audience in a single-step…,
Here is Don The Idea Guy’s one-step guide to successfully building awareness and audience for your personal or professional podcast — BUY THIS BOOK NOW!
As a marketing and promotions consultant, I’m working with a growing number of clients who’ve created online programming in an effort to build their respective businesses. The problem is, many think that the hard part is creating the content itself, and once recorded the work is over. WRONG! The biggest challenge is yet to come…
Challenge #1: Making your audience AWARE of your program
Challenge #2: Getting those who are aware to actually CHOOSE your content over the hundreds (thousands!) of other podcasts already out there — with new ones being created daily. Jason Van Orden provides real-world strategies for successfully overcoming these two greatest challenges.
Every hard-earned lesson and every bit of advice on what works (and what doesn’t) that I’ve learned along the way seems to be inside this book.
“Promoting Your Podcast” is the book I wish I could have read before creating my first client podcast, and it’s the book I would have written had I thought to record all those lessons along the way.
An excellent resource on what to do AFTER you’ve made the effort to create your content. I’m going to start giving copies of these to all of my podcast clients.
