Instant Teleseminar Alternative - where can I store Audio's for playback?

[vertical100]

I do NOT want to pay $50/month to Instant Teleseminar for what I need.

NEED: I want to record (via phone) roughly 10 to 20 interviews (not live). Then I want to store them somewhere where my subscribers can go there and play them - with a player option.

I like Instant Teleseminar... however I do NOT need all the services they have to offer.

My calls are one-on-one interviews that I will record for playback.

Any and all recommendations are very much appreciated.

Also: not as important... where would you store video's for playback other than a public site? I have 14 video's that are a course. Each video is roughly 20 minutes. Once someone pays to watch them, I want to have them stored at a secure place where people can view them. Thanks!

Thank you very much for taking the time to help me.

you can use freeconfrencecall.com they dont charge you its free, and they send you the call via email in a mp3 format..and as far as storing them you should use like a secretive blog....just my .02

Here's what I'd do:

1. I'd record the interviews with FreeConferenceCall.com

2. I'd store the audio and video at Amazon's super cheap S3 file storage service.

(Use the S3 Firefox Organiser plugin to manage file transfers to the S3 servers. You can download that from rjonna.com. Find a free tutorial on how to use the S3 service at askmrvideo.com/public/125.cfm)

3. I'd control access to the audio and video using an inexpensive script like the one at MemebershipEase.com

Bill,

I have been using Freeconferencecall.com happily for about three years, after spending $100 a month to rent my own bridge line. Their quality and service are comparable. It's completely free, though you'll need to convert the files from .wav to .mp3, and for that, yu can use Audacity, which is free.

I store my audio files securely at Box.net | Simple Online Collaboration: Online File Storage, FTP Replacement, Team Workspaces ~ Free Version, which costs $100 for 2 GB. When someone purchases an audio file, an autoresponder sends them the secure link for that file at box.net.

Works wonderfully for me.

You can just sign up to IT for a month, record all your calls, then download the MP3 files which you can store anywhere you like.

I agree with KeywordMarketer...

Amazon s3 is a very inexpensive way to go to host your audios, videos and whatever else you need.

S3Fox from Firefox or BucketExplorer.com allows you to manage those files

Thank you for all your advice. I just looked at Box.net for storing the audios - I believe that may work. I also checked Amazon - it looks like they charge $.17 per Gig of transfer.

Kyle, you mentioned after recording them and downloading them I could store them anywhere - which I'm sure is true... however, I don't know where anywhere is? :-)

Can you list 3 possible places that I could store these 12 audio interviews for playback (with a player would be nice). A service like "Instant Teleseminar" would be great - but I can't find one. I'd be willing to pay up to $10 month

You can put them on your own web host -- $5 - 10 a month -- and use any number of free players to play them.

I use Wordpress for my sites and there are a bunch of free plugins that play MP3's with fancy players for the user.

Bill,

Simple, upload these interviews in .mp3 format to your own site. Then go to odeo and get the code for their free audio player that plays audios on your own server.

If you've already got hosting, 10 - 20 additional audio interviews should pose no
new cost.

Free is good.

p.s. click on my free 'business acceleration template' link below and see the
odeo player in action.

I've used freeconferencecall.com like many are mentioning. Just used freeconferencecalling.com, though, and like it better. It gives you the option of storing several mp3's, gives you the option to get more callers on there, and more.

My thoughts exactly. Keep a set on your computer(s). Upload a set onto your website where your customers can download them from there. Most hosting companies give you a ton of bandwidth... more than often to cover your needs each month.
