Scott Whitney’s Summary
I am an Internet broadcaster that specializes in podcasts and live streaming video productions.
I solve the problems traditional websites have created by combining 25 years of media experience with 15 years in the sales and marketing trenches. I work most effectively with folks that allow my company to plan, produce, publish and promote their content to either make them money or motivate their audience to take action on their behalf (or both).
Today, I am the founder of PodWorx. Many folks know about me because I developed an easy-to-follow podcasting methodology called the Four P’s of Podcasting®. I'm a public speaker on a wide range of subjects, including website development, email marketing, search engine optimization, blog implementation, social media, podcasting, live streaming video strategies, and sales techniques.
Prior to the launch of PodWorx, I developed a sales and marketing technique that helped me sell over 35,000 copies of my own music CDs. This lead to the creation of TimbreWorx Music, Inc., which has gone on to sell over 100,000+ branded music CDs performed by the best undiscovered artists in the country.
Prior to my entrepreneurial start in 1998, I was director of financial services & electronic commerce marketing for Compaq Computers and director of channel development for NetFRAME Systems.
