Xlibris Launches Podcast Marketing Service for Self Published Authors

Bloomington, IN, October 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Podcasts have become a major tool used by musicians in promoting their music online, movie critics for airing their film reviews, technology enthusiasts for sharing instructional videos on the latest tech gadgets and, more recently, as a way for authors to talk about their books.

Xlibris, the leader in the independent publishing industry, introduces their Podcast Marketing Packages. Specifically created for Xlibris published authors, this marketing tool enables them to promote their books while sharing their vision as a writer and the purpose of their work.

With the Xlibris Podcast Marketing Packages, a recorded interview with the author will be spliced into five episodes. These interviews will be saved as MP3 files, which can easily be share with friends, family and the rest of their network.

These podcasts will also be published one episode at a time on a weekly basis on the Xlibris Podcast website at www.xlibrispodcasts.com and distributed to leading podcast sites like iTunes, Zune, Podcast Alley, Odeo and Podcast.com.
