Creative Audio Idea

by Scott Woodside
16 replies
Hey, I did this audio a few hours ago and thought I would share the idea. This isn't an affiliate link, and I am keeping the client confidential. I just want you to listen to the audio and see how you can apply audio to your site.

Its not about me. Its about you and the way you stay creative and one step ahead of the competition.

The audio is on my blog and doesn't link to my client's site. It is totally confidential. Just wanted you to hear the concept behind what he/she is doing to generate conversions.

I'd like to know what you think!

    Very clever, Scott. People need to be more imaginative, but I guess that's why they come to you.

    Nice! I always dig your productions, Scott.

    My favorite was that blooper reel you posted a while back trying to get through that article... : )

    Great idea Scott,

    The audio sounded great, very professional... now do a few more of those, put together a 'portfolio' of these little gems, and offer this specific custom audio widget service to all the marketers here, and you will have people beating down your doorstep. No doubt.

    Thanks for the listen guys! I have two of the same to compare. Can you guess which audio widget the client chose?

    Two totally different sounds. The voice is faster on version two and the music is slower.

    I like your idea Jared! Great idea! I've got a bunch of samples on my blog as well as my site! Brian, you can still hear the blooper sample if you go and pretend to check out. There's a link that appears. The same one you thought was hilarious.

    Anyway, have a great weekend, and thank you for listening.

    I like the more mellow version -- puts the listener in a more laid back mood. On the other version I wondered exactly which two people the announcer was shooting -- and maybe I might be next, if I don't buy.

      I can see why the segment would convert well-very professional and not a run of the mill idea.

      However, my cat would like to claw your eyes out right now as she sleeps near the speaker!

      I'm with TW... I personally liked the second version... the first with the gunshot at the beginning drew me away from your offer...

    If you want to pique people's attention with some sfx, and you want to emphasize the time-limit aspect, how about...

    a metronome

    or the classic stop watch

    or a dramatic tympany going boom-bum boom-bum boom-bum [etc.]?

    Smooth Jazz generally creates a higher response rate

    Slow tempos are great when you are wanting people to stay on a website and browse.

    Heavy beats are best for instant action items like a squeeze page.

    Your mileage may vary. offer void in Nebraska and South Dakota, prices slightly higher on the West Cost, No hamsters were harmed in the creation of this post.

    Might I add that Scott has the very best prices and he does excellent work! I was very impressed with the work he did for me (and quick too).

    Scott's service is definitely a No-Brainer!

    Wow, I'm getting some great feedback. At last. I really appreciate your input and never had any idea, Mark, that smooth jazz worked better for conversions. Where have I been? and Mike, thanks for the nice words as well as all you guys above this message, you to Jared.

    I just posted another audio widget that I recorded today for a client and used easy listening. You can listen on my blog...newest entry on the link below! I just added it!

      Scott,

      I should say the in the tests that I have performed, slow smooth jazz wins,

      As always test test test!

      Here are 2 examples

      Stay Long and Buy

      Click Away and Run

      Scott... great idea for you... put together a batch of 'generic' multi-purpose audio clips... you could categorize them by different niches... make money, lose weight, etc, all the top selling niches.

      People would eat this up... breakfast, lunch, dinner, and then ask for leftovers for a midnight snack... I'm tellin ya~!
