How To Record Interviews With Experts For Free
At some point you will probably want to hold teleseminars or just simply record phone interviews with experts in your idea subject area.
Most use a service that charges them a fee per call – sometimes a flat rate or sometimes based on the number on the line.
Some marketers use a free software product called Skype to make free phone calls. The problem is that Skype doesn’t allow you to record the phone call.
Now… there’s a new free software product called Gizmo that let’s you make free phone calls AND record the call.
Perfect for marketers holding teleseminars or doing interviews.
Go to: http://www.gizmoproject.com/
Download the free software, install it on your computer and then purchase the number of minutes you want.
Call Recording
At the bottom of the call control drawer on your Gizmo, you will find three buttons: Record, Hold and Mute.
After a call has connected, you can press the rec button, and Gizmo will begin recording the call. The file is placed by default on your desktop, but you can specify a location in your software options/preferences.
The file is a .wav file and should be playable from any media player like Quicktime or Windows Media Player. When you begin recording the call, the other party will hear an announcement, “Call being recorded.”
You will not hear the announcement. When you finish recording, the announcement will tell the other party, “Call recording stopped.” If you want an MP3 rather than a WAV file, you can import it into Audacity and save it as an MP3.
NOTE: Recording calls is legally restricted in certain countries, states and localities around the world. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with any laws that may apply to you or the person you are calling.
