Do you listen to Podcasts? If so you now have a chance to give something back to your favourite hardworking Podcasters.
Votes are being taken for the 2011 Podcast Awards which you can find here.
All you need to do is fill in the name of the podcast and its URL in the boxes on this page.
There are two main awards, the Peoples Choice and Best Produced. You can nominate in one of these two categories and if you wish then re-nominate the same podcast in one other category. Hurry the closing date is 30th September -thats this Friday.
I would like to share with you the podcasts that I nominated and why. I am not suggesting that you should vote for these but you may like to go over and check them out as I listen to them regularly.
Peoples Choice: The Smart Passive Income Podcast by the amazing Pat Flynn. I nominated Pat because his podcast and website have so much helpful content and he teaches you how to use tools and use the web for your online business. He does use affiliate links but often his recommendations are for free resources which he has used himself.
Business: Defining New Media Podcast by Scott Scanlon. Scott maintains a daily podcast of current issues in new media marketing. His content is right up to date and nearly every podcast either teaches you something you want to implement or helps you to understand another aspect of new media marketing. He also offers a free consultancy opportunity on his company’s page over at You Brand Inc.
Best Produced ; Six Pixels of Separation by Mitch Joel, the Twist Image Podcast. Mitch has great interviews and discussions with a wide range of marketing experts. He also has a regular verbal tussle with Joel Jaffe who is never short of an opinion. When not doing this, the Media Hacks (a round table discussion) episodes are also very engaging.
General – Virtual Business Lifestyle by Chris Ducker. Chris’s approach to outsourcing your work, using virtual assistants (he is based in the Philippines) and organising your work life balance is inspirational and full of great information and ideas. His energy is infectious (in a nice way :)) and his interviews captivating. I nominated him in the General Category only because I could not find a more suitable niche for him. Entertainment, certainly!
The other categories cover a wide range of subjects, in which you may also want to propose nominees. These include; Best Video, Comedy, Education, Food and Drink and many more. Go over and have a look.
These awards are prestigious and really help the winners and nominees to become better known and get more listeners. I would exhort you to spend five minutes submitting your once only nominations. Hey, if you like my podcast recommendations, vote for them too but only if you think they deserve your vote. Don’t forget that nominations close on Friday at 2359 (US time).
