You might have heard of Blog Talk Radio…or maybe your a newcomer to the concept.  It’s a great marketing tool, discussion group, networking place, teaching tool, music savy listeners place, and just a great place to talk the talk.

Not to be confused with the infamous Neil Boortz, syndicated radio talk show host, where people either love him or hate him.  He is an outspoken commentator, and author of the book on The Flat Tax,  along with Representative John Linder, in Georgia.  But I digress!  This Blog Talk Radio is for people like us….infamous too, but in our own little world of business, and going about living our lives to the best of our ability and finding a good place to talk about it.

I am a Co-host of a show geared toward Parents and Kids.  We interview author of books, tell stories, teach crafts and the other creater and Co-Host from “The Puddle People Hour” Pam Sargent, will even sing a song occasionally.  It’s a great place for non-profits to talk about their work.  A couple of weeks ago, we discussed teaching signing for the deaf.  This last show, we did a show on Spring Break and discussed things to do and provided many safety tips in lieu of all that is happening to our teens and young adults these days.  The show was well received and the discussion pertinent.

Blog Talk Radio will probably never be a huge money maker place to sell your wares, however, some people do have stores on there…little craft type stores, or music.  But it is a good place to help provide a service, for instance, the Real Estate Market could give ideas and tips on the market.  Interview guests.  Talk to home buyers and sellars. 

Another show on Blog Talk Radio, is a mother/daughter act that just talk about Mom/Daughter stuff.  They laugh, debate and take calls from listeners…it’s a cute show.

Then the music lovers have found the perfect place to listen to hip hop, be bop, or cha cha cha, to whatever they want to hear; they also discuss different topics like bands, concerts, whatever.  It also has some spiritual programming that lends itself to those who wish to discuss their faith or spiritual needs.

Check it out.  It is going to be as popular as blogging very soon…especially when people get wind that they can rest their fingers from pecking on a blogging site and start shooting off their mouth in a talking blog….in good taste of course!
