ASI’s Radio MP3 Download Instructions

Filed under: asi radio show

For well over a year, ASI has been broadcasting a weekly Internet radio show that can be heard anywhere on the planet so long as you have access to a computer. For 30 minutes a week — Tuesdays @ 10:30 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. EST — we stream the show live from our studios in lovely downtown Trevose, PA. And if you’re unable to listen to the live show every week, we have an archive of each and every show on our Radio Archives page.

But what if you’re one of the many who prefers to download the archived file as a podcast and listen to it at your own leisure on your personal MP3 player? Well, you can do that too!

Here are the instructions for downloading MP3s from ASI’s Radio pages:

  1. On either the main Radio page or Archive page, you will see small, orange MP3 icons next to each archived show (image looks like this: )
  2. Place your cursor over the show icon in which you’d like to download, and “right-click” your mouse for a list of options
  3. From the list of “right-click” options, choose “Save Target As …”
  4. Choose a directory on your hard drive that you’d like to save the file to and click “Save” - you will have to wait a few seconds before the file is fully downloaded.
  5. Now that you have the file on your hard drive, you can import the file into your digital media player application — like iTunes — simply by importing or adding the file to the library.
  6. Sync your personal MP3 player (iPod) to your digial media player and the file is now ready to be accessed!

And if you still have any questions about this process, please feel free to email us at feedback@asicentral.com anytime.

Tip of the Day: Succeed With Twitter

Filed under: Tip of the Day

First it was MySpace, then it was Facebook, and now the latest social media phenomenon is Twitter. For many, the idea of “tweeting” thoughts written in 140 characters or less is intimidating or, at first glance, even silly. Still, there are numerous advantages to being active in social media.

Boundless Network (asi/143717) at press time had 200-plus followers, while the company’s president, Jason Black, himself had about 400. Whenever Black sends out a message, he is communicating with all of these people who have opted to hear what he has to say. In his opinion, his personality helps give Boundless “some flavor and color.”

Tonia Allen Gould, president of Tag! The Creative Source (asi/341358), says she has just start Tweeting. And she now encourages all of her sales reps to use social media “to cast their net out. I’m a big believer in, it’s not what you know – it’s who you know,” she says. “You can use it to have a dialog with people in the industry.”

Better yet, Black says, “Marketers are the ones who are driving Twitter. It’s smart to try and make relationships with these people.”

Twitter, though, shouldn’t be used as an overt sales channel. There needs to be more of a personal element to your posts on Twitter. “I’m not looking to whore myself out all of the time,” says Black. “My tweets are about sports, politics, family and stuff that I observe that has zero to do with promotional products. People appreciate authenticity.”

Consultant Patrick O’Malley says, “Tweet only quality items. The goal should be to only tweet something that is valuable enough to be retweeted.” This means people will cut and paste your message into their entry. Join ASI’s more than 1,100 followers on Twitter. – Kenneth Hein
