Why Publishing MP3 Can Cost You A Fortune

Written by Louis Allport

Download "MP3Tag" from mp3tag.de/en/. Installrepparttar software, and start it up. Then just choose to "Remove All Tags" from your OGG files. This process takes literally two minutes but is very important.

Now after you've converted and de-taggedrepparttar 146226 OGG audio, you'll need to upload it to your server of course.

Then you'll have to change all your download links. This is fiddly, but needs to be done. For example - you would need to change all your links from:

www.domain.com/folder/audio.mp3

To:

www.domain.com/folder/audio.ogg

Then test every download link to make sure it's working correctly.

Important Note: Don't forget aboutrepparttar 146227 audio you've got in Zip files too. You'll need to recreate those Zip files with OGG audio instead of MP3 audio and re-upload them.

If you're not sure where allrepparttar 146228 MP3 and Zip files are on your websites, here's an easy way to list them:

Now, this only works on Unix-based servers (which covers Linux servers, FreeBSD...etc - ask your web host if you're not sure)...

This is pretty advanced so don't do this if you're not comfortable withrepparttar 146229 process. Or ask your web host to do it for you if they're happy to do that:

You need to Telnet into your server and then typerepparttar 146230 following:

find . | grep mp3 > allmp3

Then type:

find . | grep zip > allzip

This will then give you two files on your server: allmp3 & allzip

Download these files and take a look at them in a text editor. They'll show yourepparttar 146231 path of every MP3 and Zip file on your server so that you can quickly and easily find which files you need to convert to OGG. Dead handy.

Okay - so after you've converted and uploadedrepparttar 146232 audio, you'll need to changerepparttar 146233 text aroundrepparttar 146234 download links. You'll need to take out any mention of "MP3" from your website.

I don't suggest replacing it with "OGG" on a sales page for example since that will probably confuse people. Just replace "MP3" with "downloadable audio" or "high quality downloadable audio".

And then on your download pages mention thatrepparttar 146235 audio is in OGG format which is just as high quality as MP3 and just as quick to download. Then link to a couple of audio players that you know for a fact support OGG.

The audio players I personally mention are Winamp from winamp.com and Quintessential Player from quinnware.com.

Important Note About Winamp: As I write this onlyrepparttar 146236 Full version (notrepparttar 146237 Lite version) of Winamp supports OGG successfully. So make sure to tell your visitors to download and install that version. It's still free though so your visitors won't have to spend any extra money just to listen to your audio.

And that's pretty much allrepparttar 146238 steps needed to convert your published audio from MP3 to OGG, which can save you a small fortune in licensing fees without compromising audio quality or speed of download.

Money Can Still be Made on the Internet

A third option to make money online is through advertising. You can make money online by selling advertising space on your website. The advertiser gives you a banner ad that you place on your website and then you make money online whenever someone clicks through torepparttar advertiser. If you have a website that generates a lot of traffic, you can also make money online by charging a fee for advertising space.

Many websites claim that you can make money online quickly by completing online surveys. Be cautious, though, about anyone claiming that you can make gobs of money online through surveys. Don't pay for survey lists. Do it yourself and make money online instead of spending money online.
