As more and more websites are adding audio features, you may find yourself bitten by the audio bug, too. It is a fun, simple thing to do, and it can add a lot of value to your site and help you connect to your readers in a new way. Podcasting is a great place to start, and just about any business can incorporate a podcast into their format.
When deciding what type of podcast to create, take a moment and think about your target market. When you developed your website, you probably thought about it for a long time and maybe you even tried a few different formats before you found one that stuck.

Some possible choices would include interviews with decorators on how to create a great nursery, a q&a session where first-time moms could ask more experienced moms questions, or you could just speak directly to your audience and give them your advice or feedback on products you have tried, books you have read, etc.
If your market is catered towards people who enjoy home repair, you would apply the same techniques mentioned before, but focus on the home repair market. If you conduct an interviews, hold answer sessions, or give information, you can include info about home repair specific targets.
If you find yourself stuck on what to put in your podcast, just ask your audience. You can set up a form on your website where people can tell you what they want to hear about. Include very specific questions, as the more detailed your feedback is, the better you can tailor your podcast to your target market.
Not only is this a great idea for coming up with podcast topics, but it will also help you develop your information products, and increase your profits and your website traffic. If you can work towards giving your audience what they want to hear, they will come back again and again.
