“RawVoice has been diligent in working toward establishing itself as the No. 1 source for global podcasting data,” RawVoice CEO Todd Cochrane said. “No one in the industry has more direct measured data.”

RawVoice analytics are based on actual — not interpolated — information, giving content creators and media buyers the most accurate picture of who is consuming their content as well as how it’s being consumed.

Over the past 90 days, RawVoice Podcast analytics has recorded the following trends in clients consuming podcast media. This was a sampling of 69.7 million audience listens/views across 17 genres.

• Desktop applications, such as iTunes, 36.7%
• Smartphones and mobile devices, such as iPhone, iPod and Android, 30.3%
• Web browsers, 18.3%
• Tablets such as the iPad and Nexus 7, 8.8%
• Mobile applications, 3.2%
• Smart TV / OTT set-top boxes, 2.7%

Percentage of consumption by client:

• iTunes (desktop applications), 27.4%
• iPhone (smartphones), 22.8%
• iPad (tablets), 8.7%
• Android (smartphones), 7.1%
• Firefox (Web browsers), 4.8%
• Google Chrome (Web browsers), 4.1%
• Internet Explorer (Web browsers), 1%
• All others (100+ other clients), 24.1%

Percentages by platform:

• iOS (iPhone and iPad), 30.9%
• Mac OS, 16.5%

• Linux, 2.5%
• Other, 7.4%

“Podcasts are being listened to and watched on all devices today and trends are evolving; it’s imperative for podcasters and our media buyers to stay abreast of the most effective means to reach new media audiences,” Cochrane said. “Because of the growing popularity of mobile devices, our data indicates that if you want to reach mobile consumers, you should advertise on podcasts.”

RawVoice keeps close watch on trends in the space. “For instance, the fastest growing podcast mobile application has been “Downcast” a mobile application for Android,” Cochrane said. “Downcast currently is the No. 1 podcasting application outside of Apple’s mobile podcast and iTunes apps.”

Since 2005 RawVoice has been measuring Podcast statistics for media buys and buyers to include some of the biggest podcast networks in the space. RawVoice, parent company of Blubrry.com and TechPodcasts.com, has unparalleled insight into how podcast media is being consumed. For more information, contact Cochrane at ceo@rawvoice.com.

Today the planning we put in place years ago paid off, and critical never fail service switched into fail over mode. Our backup media statistic redirect server took over just a few minutes after the primary one went offline. Our primary CDN had no issues and hosted media continued to be served without the need to fail over to our secondary CDN.

A Harris Poll published Oct. 28, 2010, found that traditional print and broadcast media are waning in popularity, with more than half adults online predicting its demise within 10 years. While viewers and listeners might not have abandoned print media or network television completely, Americans are turning to the Internet and other media to get their news.

The poll found that of Americans who use the Internet to look for news:

• 46 percent say they go to local television news all the time.
• 35 percent say they go to local newspapers.
• 31 percent turn to network television news.
• 42 percent of online adults say they never go to national newspapers such as the New York Times or weekly news magazines when they are looking for news.

Although cable television currently stands as the desired means of receiving entertainment, it too stands to lose viewers with the introduction of digital media to over-the-top (OTT) television boxes such as Roku. These OTTs allow audiences to hear and view media by thousands of content creators such as those in the RawVoice communities.

The audience response to these new media platforms has been remarkable. “I would have been happy with 25,000 additional views among the community in the first month after introducing our networks shows on the Roku box,” RawVoice CEO Todd Cochrane says. “It was more like 250,000.”

With the introduction of Vudu apps and others, the reach of digital media will continue to expand. Because consumers are creating these new consumption trends, advertisers should follow suit. “It only stands to reason that if the audience is turning to digital media to receive its news and entertainment, that’s where the advertisers should be as well,” Todd explains.

Unlike typical news outlets, the majority of media creators consistently focus on specific topics, such as emergency medicine, GLBT issues, politics, etc. This draws audiences uniquely interested in these areas. “Because of this, advertisers can be assured they are reaching their target audience,” Cochrane stresses.

To find out more about digital media, check out Blubrry, Pro Med Network, Tech Podcasts Network or any of the other communities at RawVoice.com.

Millions of consumers have followed the Tech Podcasts Network (TPN) coverage of the Consumer Electronics Show throughout the past five years – in part because of its unique presentation style. TPN coverage of CES provides the latest technology information, featuring real tech personalities in the thick of the event, jostling among the crowds, seeking extraordinary, innovative and unusual products.

Consumers eager to see what new tech toys and trends set the pace in 2011 will follow TPN’s coverage of CES, returning for authentic insight into products and tech trends that they have come to trust and depend upon since 2005.

Video Track Record: The past four years, TPN has produced more than 600 CES on-floor video interviews, reaching an average of 12 million unique viewers each year.

Live Streaming Success in 2010: In 2010 we were invited by NBC Universal to produce two live streaming events on their main stage. During those one-hour events we interviewed 10 separate companies and had a live active audience of more than 10,000 viewers. See the recorded coverage here http://bit.ly/nbcuni1 , http://bit.ly/nbcunib.

What’s New for CES 2011: Tech Podcast Network will have a live broadcast booth in the heart of the exhibit hall, where we will stream more than 35 hours of coverage of the show.

Even More Exciting TPN News for CES 2011

Set-Top Box Media Distribution: Since early 2010, Techpodcasts.com has been listed as a top tier channel on the Roku set-top box. We have similar placement on Boxee’s directory and are creating apps for other platforms such as VuDu and Samsung. Next up? Google TV.

Exposure Potential: In January 2011 TPN will launch a dedicated TPN-CES channel on each platform (Roku, Boxee and others) where we will release CES 2011 coverage segments during and after the show, guaranteeing exposure for vendors and sponsors for a full year.

Even if your company is not exhibiting at CES 2011: This is an opportunity to reach tech savvy consumers throughout the course of the show and ensure web / media distribution of the content with your message following the show.

Added Value: Vendors we interview at CES also help by highlighting the coverage of their segments. Since your sponsor message is embedded in the video, you are guaranteed brand exposure on a variety of corporate sites. Coverage from the 2010 event is still seeing strong view activity nine months later because of the product tagging and SEO strategy we employ on each interview release.

The Show Coverage: TPN coverage includes five video elements – Live Stream, “Pick of the Day,” product interviews and a high interest back channel.  Update: We will also be doing several segments from the NBC Universal Live Stage again in 2011 on top of our live broadcast booth content.

Live Stream: TPN will stream live from our broadcast booth, during open show hours interviewing four to six high profile guests each hour, simulcast on multiple TPN partner sites as well as rebroadcast after hours. All live show coverage will be broken into segments and post published on the web, and available as podcasts.

TPN Pick of the Day: (TPOD) Each day, we produce a single 10-15 minute video covering five to seven product or demo highlights. Only the most interesting products of the day are featured. The four 2010 Pick-of-the Day TPOD videos averaged 155,000 views each within 72 hours of release.

Product Videos: (PV) TPN show hosts will also produce on average 120 product interviews from the show floor and at evening “Press Only” events. The product videos are then professionally post-produced and released after the show.

Backchannel Videos: (BC) Backchannel videos show the process we go through to plan and execute during the event. They keep viewers and listeners emotionally engaged in the struggle to cover such a massive event. Backchannel videos highlight the hard work, boredom, excitement, challenge, aggravation, frustration, and exhaustion faced by the team. In 2010 we released nearly 40 hours of unedited back channel content.

How the Sponsorship Plan Works

What it isn’t: This is not an opportunity for a single spot appearance, companies never pay for access to our audiences. All interviews with companies that are covered at the show are independently determined and at the sole discretion of the show hosts.

What it is: This is an opportunity for your company to have your product or service message integrated into our coverage as if you were buying standard radio, broadcast, or new media ad spot. All Sponsor messages will be clearly designated in line with mandated FCC disclosure rules.

It’s simple: You pay a flat rate and get your company’s brand and message integrated into TPN live and recorded content. We agree on message length, talking points and product features to be emphasized throughout the entire week. Banners, text links with hyperlinks and social media exposure are always included in all sponsorship levels.

Distribution: All media, whether streamed live or recorded from show floor, will be published on the web with SEO strategies, and made available for podcast download. All media will also be published into our set-top-box channels on Roku and Boxee, and available for embed on your web site and product pages.

Available Sponsorships

Live Stream: Your company will receive one or two mentions per hour during our live streaming event, either a live host-read spot or a 30-45 second canned commercial. There are four (4) total sponsorship slots available for the live stream with one being designated the bandwidth sponsor.

Product Video: Your company will receive one, 15-30 second ad spot in all of our 2011 CES Show Floor Product Video Interviews. Estimated Exposures will be 12-15 million uniques.

Back Channel: Your company will be the exclusive sponsor of the 2011 back channel coverage at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show. With an estimated 30-40 hours of back channel Coverage.

Cochrane: Get visual

Bloggers and podcasters, restart your engines! Keep moving ahead or get left behind was the message Todd Cochrane, CEO of RawVoice, shared with about 70 blogging and podcasting enthusiasts Oct. 16 at BlogWorld and New Media Expo. Survival of the fittest, he said, dictates that content creators continue to evolve their media using the The Triple Play: Streaming, Podcasting and Blogging as a Way to Accelerate Your Show’s Growth and Distribution.

In the natural course of things, a content creator might start out simply with a blog . . . and that’s great, Cochrane explained. But the audience growth and monetary potential extends far beyond. Next up? Podcasting. And then? Well, he noted, many podcasters hit a mid-life crisis — sluggish audience growth, if any at all, and audience numbers even dropping off. The cure? Let us see . . .

The past 12 months have seen an evolution in media distribution and growth. By providing video or by streaming shows on television set top boxes such as Roku, Vudu (soon to be found on every television sold by Wal-Mart), Boxee and the soon-to-be-released Google TV, audience numbers have already rocketed.

Um, don't do this! Keep your sites simple.

“Streaming your shows is the gateway to over-the-top TV,” explained Cochrane, host of Geek News Central. Cochrane grew an already large audience by 150 percent in nine months with the “Triple Play.” Cochrane’s growth is common among media producers whose shows are accessible on over-the-top (OTT) boxes. That is, if your show is visual. Among 200 shows seen on Roku during a 90-day period, visual media growth was 23 percent. Audio was only 3 percent. “You need to get intimately familiar with OTT,” he said. When the Blubrry podcasting community was introduced on Roku, Cochrane would have been happy with 25,000 additional views among the community . . . it was more like 250,000. “You’ve got to get busy,” he said. “You have to be on this device.”

A few years back, the notion of citizen media creators being viewed across the glob on television was unfathomable. Not with the big cable companies in control. Now, content accessible on OTT boxes bypasses the need to go through a cable company for distribution. “It’s leveling the playing field with the big boys,” Cochrane stressed. “This is the way we beat the Man. We go over the top.”

Start with blogging, evolve into podcasting, then segue into streaming, he said.

Mandato walks participants through the quick and easy steps.

That transition doesn’t need to be rough.

In fact, in the next BlogWorld and New Media Expo session, RawVoice CIO Angelo Mandato and Creative Director Brian Yuhnke walked bloggers through the process using the PowerPress plugin for WordPress. About 40 people took part, took notes and took home a simple yet spectacular suggestion for moving ahead their media.

In Blogging and Podcasting Sitting in a Tree … Optimizing a WordPress Site for Your Podcast, Mandato and Yuhnke demonstrated the PowerPress plugin for WordPress, a simple means to get audio and video media on your site. The plugin is simple to install, simple to access and makes it simple for your audience to get your cutting-edge shows. And it should be kept simple, they said, noting noisy and overly-busy sites will be a turn off for viewers . . . literally.

To find out more about or view the sessions, go to the BlogWorld website; they’ll be up soon. To find out more about the PowerPress plugin, go to Blubrry.com.

You embrace your love of podcasting and you’re whetting your lips at the thought of its marriage to blogging.

Until now! Coming soon, to a session near you, on Oct. 16, 2010, at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas (drum roll) is Blogging and Podcasting Sitting in a Tree … Optimizing a WordPress Site for Your Podcast!

With all the ID3 tags, iTunes formatting, RSS feeds and XML code involved to ensure a properly delivered podcast, setting up a website for distributing media can create issues and even seem (gasp) divisive. . .  Lo! This exciting, alluring RawVoice/Blubrry production, starring Angelo Mandato, chief information officer at RawVoice.com, a seasoned web developer, applications programmer and server administrator, and Brian Yuhnke, creative director at RawVoice.com and an instructional technology and web media coordinator in Denver, examines awesome plugins and some basic design knowledge that can eliminate those barriers! This is precisely the counseling and support you need to gain the skills to conjoin your WordPress blog and podcasting!

RawVoice: Are you in this picture?

The past 12 months have seen an evolution in the blogging, podcasting and streaming media space. In this session Cochrane will lay out a game plan to growing your audience and will talk about the new distribution platforms.

“I will share trade secrets and strategies of podcasting that only my six years of experience behind the mic can impart,” he announced. “I will tie this all together and you will walk away understanding the importance of streaming your shows and how that streaming is the gateway to over-the-top TV.” Cochrane, host of Geek News Central, grew an already large audience by 150 percent in nine months with the Triple Play. In this session, he will map out how content distribution channels such as the Roku, Boxee and the upcoming Google TV are changing new media and what you need to do to score.

“This will be the most important session you will want to attend at the show. I don’t say this lightly because some of the things I will reveal are going to make you re-think your media strategy for the next 36 months.”

The media space is changing at a rapid pace, and The Triple Play: Streaming, Podcasting and Blogging as a Way to Accelerate Your Show’s Growth and Distribution will get you dialed in on where it is headed and show you how to stay on the playing field.

If you’re an advertiser, you can reach tech savvy consumers both throughout the course of the show and after the show through web / new media distribution of the content with your message . . .  even if your company is not exhibiting at CES 2011.

Look what we’ve done: In 2010 by invitation of NBC Universal we produced two live streaming events on their main stage. During those one-hour events we interviewed 10 separate companies and had a live active audience of more than 10,000 viewers. See the recorded coverage here http://bit.ly/nbcuni1 , http://bit.ly/nbcunib.

So get ready to be exposed! If you’re a consumer, hold tight. These next four months will fly by. If you’re an advertiser who wants to know more, give RawVoice CEO Todd Cochrane a holler (or an email) at 808-741-4923 or ceo@rawvoice.com.

Our CEO Todd Cochrane sums it up like this: “Advertisers are confident in us delivering a healthy return on investment. Advertising with RawVoice enables them to expose their brand to audiences that are consuming media on a variety of devices in the home and on the go.” 

Audience growth has been and will continue to be fueled by the increased quality and quantity of podcasts available within the RawVoice community — Blubrry.com alone has more than 5,500 shows available for advertising. Also attributed to the growth is our expanded media accessibility on multiple platforms, such as Roku, Apple iOS and Google Android-based smart phones.

“Our strategy of multi-platform distribution is exposing new audiences to our content creators on venues that accommodate their lifestyle needs,” says Cochrane, host of Geek News Central. “We are the only advertising medium that can guarantee they are reaching their target audiences,” Cochrane says.

Viewers and listeners in turn gain exposure to great products and services matched to their needs. The end result is that hosts are able to sustain and grow their shows “ultimately resulting in more ad deals for our content creators,” he said.

As Quarter 3 gets under way, we’re confident the advertising and audience growth will continue to the benefit of media creators.

“We are continuing to focus on multi-platform distribution for the shows that are part of the network,” he said. “The show producers are reaching millions of people monthly we want to continue to take the lead in finding ways to help content creators maintain sustainable incomes for their shows.”

Podcasting industry leader RawVoice has recorded a phenomenal 31 percent increase in revenue for the second quarter of 2010, which ended July 1. The increase reflects new advertising buys on 27 percent more shows within the RawVoice family, including Blubrry and Tech Podcasts Network and other network partners compared to the first quarter.

“Advertisers are confident in us delivering a healthy return on investment,” explains Todd Cochrane, RawVoice CEO and host of Geek News Central. “Advertising with RawVoice enables them to expose their brand to audiences that are consuming media on a variety of devices in the home and on the go.”

Audience growth was fueled by the increased quality and quantity of podcasts available within the RawVoice community — Blubrry.com alone has more than 5,500 shows available for advertising — and expanded media accessibility on multiple platforms. “Our strategy of multi-platform distribution is exposing new audiences to our content creators on venues that accommodate their lifestyle needs,” Cochrane said.

Digital media content technology enables viewers and/or listeners to subscribe to, receive and consume their favorite podcasts how they want, when they want on any number of mediums, including the Internet, over-the-top boxes such as Roku, Apple iOS and Google Android-based smart phones.

“Advertisers are accessing exactly the audience that they want,” Cochrane said. “We are the only advertising medium that can guarantee they are reaching their target audiences.” Viewers and listeners in turn gain exposure to great products and services matched to their needs. The end result is that hosts are able to sustain and grow their shows “ultimately resulting in more ad deals for our content creators,” he said.

The RawVoice Generator network services measure a show’s reach through its media statistics platform, helping creators to monetize their shows and guaranteeing that advertisers reach their delivery and branding goals. “We get direct input from content creators on their audiences and we can cross validate that data with listener and viewer survey data,” Cochrane explained. “Without this trifecta of data, we would not be able to execute such large campaigns effectively.”

As Quarter 3 gets under way, Cochrane is confident the advertising and audience growth will continue to the benefit of media creators. “We are continuing to focus on multi-platform distribution for the shows that are part of the network,” he said. “The show producers are reaching millions of people monthly. We want to continue to take the lead in finding ways to help content creators maintain sustainable incomes for their shows.”

In 2010, RawVoice is focused on content distribution via the growing number of alternative content delivery platforms, allowing online media consumers to receive its publishers’ content without having to go exclusively through cable operators, satellite networks or TV affiliates.

LAS VEGAS – NAB Show – April 8, 2010 – RawVoice,a leader in new media distribution, trend tracking and content monetization, announces the availability of the first two customizable, branded distribution apps for media via the Boxee and Roku new media players. RawVoice will demonstrate its multiplatform channel at the 2010 NAB Show April 12-15, booth # SU9506S. The company’s latest move further demonstrates its commitment to enabling the proliferation and consumption of quality, independently produced content anytime, anywhere.

“We’re offering ‘branded distribution’ for content creators on these two devices and more to come this year, providing an all-inclusive pipeline to their content that was not possible before,” said Todd Cochrane, CEO of RawVoice. “Imagine having your own TV channel without the barriers to entry that exist today. We are one stop shop based on how the consumer accesses media.”

RawVoice currently supports more than 5,000 content creators on its family of sites powered by its RawVoice Generator media network platform — TechPodcasts.com, Blubrry.com, TravelCastNetwork.com and ProMedNetwork.com

The popular Roku set top box, and soon to be launched Boxee device is where custom content channels, powered by the RawVoice Generator represent a tremendous opportunity for content owners and publishers to reach an already large and growing audience of new media consumers.

Both Roku and Boxee have created a platform for content delivery to the television over the Internet, leveling the playing field for content owners to reach a burgeoning audience of highly educated, affluent consumers. The Boxee represents more than 100 broadcast and streaming channels with more than 1 million subscribers and counting.

By September, I want to find 100 shows that blow me away, give them the attention they deserve and showcase them to media buyers and the journalists we talk to.

The PowerPress plugin has been a hands-down winner for a lot of podcasters for more than a year now. But we have just upped the odds. For the first time podcasters can have an integrated podcast publishing solution while maintaining their own brand on their own WordPress blog.

The new update brings Blubrry Podcast Statistics to the dashboard, Podcast Publishing Integrated with Blubrry Hosting, allowing a simple 1,2,3 podcast publishing process. Heck, we even write your ID3 tags for you now, not to mention multi-language support!

Podcasters, ask yourself: What company is really looking out for you, allowing you to build your own empire?

To see how we have made podcasting easier for new and old podcasters alike check out the blog post at Blubrry.com and, if you’re like me and want to watch the demo videos in a bigger resolution, check out how we have integrated our podcast hosting services.

In first five months of 2009 RawVoice remains profitable and is having a record breaking year in its various business units. We continue to invest heavily in ongoing development of all our podcast and new media platforms.

Our financial outlook 2009 is highly positive and our burn rate continues to be lower than our month to month revenues.

RawVoice has increased it’s staffing by more than 50% since the beginning of the year in order to keep up with growing demand for our services.

Our Podcast Advertising division is delivering millions of CPM- and CPA-based ads each month to millions of listeners across a significant number of podcast properties for our various vendors.  

RawVoice now also provides a number of the major podcast networks the high majority of their advertising revenue. This has further expanded our available advertising inventory that carries no overhead for RawVoice.

We are investing in the future by pressing forward with numerous new projects that we will be bringing to the market over the next 6 months that will further our dominance in not only the podcast advertising space but also in new media.

CEO RawVoice

See our Job listing on Linked in.

If you are a podcaster that has been sitting on the sidelines in thinking about getting in on our advertising deals this is the perfect quarter to consider doing so. Inventory is going to get allocated very quickly so you should not delay in taking action.

You will want to list your podcast at Blubrry.com, fill out the advertising survey in the manage account section and drop me a email to ceo@rawvoice.com immediately tell me your show name in the email and I will pull your data from the advertising survey.

All of our ad deals are run through our podcasting communities. Shows that have been approved for listing at TechPodcasts.com have 100% guarantee of being on the Quarter 2 buy.

Get listed on one of our communities today and start earning revenue for your show.

There are alternatives that don’t lock you, your content, and your earning potential into one company. Here at RawVoice we never require podcasters to sign any form of contract that limits there creativity or where one can go to find sponsorship dollars for ones show.

When you are a member of our community you have the ability to participate in ad deals that you so choose to participate in. You always have the right of refusal. We are also are very generous in that the financial benefits are such that you get 70% of the dollars in every deal.

We have podcasters today that have been in ad deals for the past 4 years earning substantial incomes. These deals range from CPM  Ad deals that have paid as high as $52.00 per 1000 downloads.  We also have CPA buys that outright beat payment rates offered by our competitors in some cases as much as 5X times greater.

Do not be swayed into signing a contract that is going to limit the ability of your show to grow and prosper. The immediate money may look enticing but talk to those in the space that are no longer under these exclusive contracts, and you may sit back and re-consider what you are about to sign.

Todd Cochrane CEO RawVoice

What’s new is that a wide variety of companies want to talk about what we can put together for them and I have been working proposals as fast as I can crank them out.

Current Advertisers are telling us that our podcast advertising campaign implementations are resulting in significant ROI an in some cases we are near the top or top of the chart in conversion, new customers and sales!

We may not get all the press other companies do that have more resources than we do, but the bottom line is the bottom line and we continue to be a profitable company. Having walked away from an acquisition offer in 2007 it was the best choice we ever made.

Sitting back and projecting what the rest of 2009 will look like is nearly impossible all we can do is keep moving forward.

With that if you have a connection with a company, make an introduction and we will pay you a finders fee for that introduction when a deal is struck. ceo@rawvoice.com @rawvoice @blubrry @techpodcasts

We realized that in these tough economic times, that while many podcasters want to monetize there podcast, a segment of shows are not ready for advertising, but need the reliable accurate podcast statistics data to continue to build their shows that we provide. This was a large factor in us removing the pre-condition for podcasters to fill out a podcast ad survey to get access to the stats service.

Podcasters that continue want to monetize their shows need to continue to update their ad surveys every 90 days so we have up to date information on their podcasts when promoting shows to media buyers.

With a large majority of our community members using the Basic Podcast Statistics service it only made good business sense to do this.  For those not familiar with our Basic Podcast Statistics here are some of the data sets we provide.

• Summary report of latest 10 episodes
• Overall and Monthly reporting
• Printable and PDF reports
• Details in

• Total downloads
• Unique downloads
• Distribution (Podcatchers and Web browsers)
• Clients (iTunes, Zune Marketplace, Firefox, etc..)
• Platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc…)
• Country Demographics

Consider this a small gift from RawVoice. We continue offer premium podcast statistics via the Blubrry Store for a low monthly fee

Todd, Barry, Angelo, Brian & Jeff

RawVoice is the Parent company for Blubrry.com, TechPodcasts.com, PodcasterNews.com, PodcastPromos.com, PodcastFaq.com and partners with many other podcast verticals in the market space.

This is a unique service, thus we are targeting unique podcast that will reach the targeted demographic.

We are looking for a few additional shows that are business service oriented. If you have a show that reaches individuals and business people that have online customer service division or even general tech support type shows you would be a good fit for this campaign.

I am not limiting the shows to those types I am also looking for shows that reach technology oriented people that may be called on from time to time to perform tech support for a friend or family member.

The product offering is such that it will appeal to the occasional user or those that do customer support on a daily basis.

While I know the scope of this buy is narrow we have already lined up a number of shows that fit the audience demo we are looking for but I have some inventory still available. Contact ceo@rawvoice.com

All shows on the buy will have to be utilizing our media statistics service no other online measurement service is acceptable.

Late in 2004 when another podcaster and I came up with the concept of the Tech Podcast Network little did I realize at the time that the ongoing business generated from that property would lead us to developing a new revenue stream that not only profits RawVoice but also profits new partners.

In late 2008 the RawVoice team decided to start seeking out leaders in the new media space in specific categories, to forge a new business partnerships. The first partnership we forged was with a long time supporter of RawVoice and a leader in the medical podcast space.

That relationship resulted in the development of the Pro Med Network under the management of Jaime Davis,while the details of the partnership are confidential Jaime’s company and RawVoice worked very hard to come up with a framework that benefits each company.

By allowing Jaime to focus on building a network, and RawVoice providing the supporting infrastructure and admin support. Jaime was able to secure a a sponsor that is advertising on the family of shows on the network from it’s launch bringing immediate value to those that are part of the network.

While Jaime’s network has just launched it re-validates a model that we know works.Thus we are seeking a limited number of category leaders to work with in building additional verticals podcast networks.

Are you a category leader? Are you serious about building a vertical contact us today

We are very happy to partner with site Manager / Owner Jaime Davis.  RawVoice’s provides the server infrastructure for the website, access to our new media statistics measurement service, and use of our Podcast Advertising Management System and additional services as part of our close partnership with the Pro Med Team.

The ProMedNetwork has launched with an official sponsor as well which validates our knowledge that vertical markets work well in the new media space.

RawVoice is seeking partnerships with other new media vertical leaders. Contact ceo@rawvoice.com for more information.
