Hi there, I just want to take a minute to
personally welcome you to our first
LearnOutLoud.com E-Magazine. If you find you
don't have the time to read every book you've been
meaning to, or you want to bone up on a subject
you've become enamored with, we are the resource
you've been looking for. |
 |
On June 28th, 2005 Apple released
iTunes 4.9 which now features a Podcast Directory
with thousands of free podcasts to browse and
already the number of downloads for these podcasts
is in the millions. |
 |
We've launched the LearnOutLoud.com Podcast Directory
which is the ultimate resource for listening to and
downloading free podcasts you can learn from. We've
listened to every podcast featured in the directory to
assure that they have good content and quality
audio. |
 |
I heard a great new phrase recently (while I was
listening to a podcast of course!): "Dead Time
Learning." Dead Time Learning refers to your
ability to learn during times that would normally be
unproductive. |
 |
It had been rumored for months now but even as
this Apple's "...One more thing" event approached
this week most people still weren't sure. Would
Apple finally launch the long-awaited Video iPod? |
 |
Well, we've been working long and hard on it but
we're proud to announce that our online
store is officially up and running. We
would like to be your one-stop destination for all
of your audio and video learning needs. |
 |
Audio books make great holiday gifts! Rather than giving someone a book they may never read or another piece of clothing to stuff an already full closet, why not get them something you know they'll use. |
 |
Wow, what a year it has been! It's kind of hard to believe that LearnOutLoud wasn't even around a year ago this time (we officially launched back in late January 2005). Less than 12 months later our Catalog has over 10,000 titles, we're getting thousands of visits a day to LearnOutLoud.com and our membership has doubled in the last two months. |
 |
It's hard to believe that we launched LearnOutLoud.com only a year ago. We've been working our tails off here to try to find you the best in audio and video content that's both educational and inspirational. We're really excited about a lot of the things that we have in the works for 2006. |
 |
The download revolution is well under way. Apple has now sold more than 40 million iPods and it seems that you can't look anywhere these days without spotting a pair of those ubiquitous white headphones. One of the common questions that we get here at LearnOutLoud is when we will start selling audio downloads. Our answer? Now. |
|
One of the most common questions we get from
visitors to LearnOutLoud.com is "Where do I start?"
Having 10,000+ titles on our site sometimes makes
it a bit intimidating to find something suited to
your tastes. We've been listening to your feedback
and have launched something we think you'll love:
Recommendations @ LearnOutLoud.com. |
|
We're very proud to announce a brand spanking
new downloads
section at LearnOutLoud.com. We've been adding
downloads to our site for a while now but with
10,000+ titles on the site they tend to get lost in
the shuffle. To help you easily find downloadable
titles we've broken them out into their own section. |
|
After a lot of hard work and a few teases here
in the newsletter we're happy to announce that we're
officially taking the wraps off of TeachOutLoud. |
|
Since we started LearnOutLoud we've had a core
mission: Do everything we can to promote
life-changing audio. We believe in the power of
audio to improve your life through education and
inspiration. |
|
We've been working to make new titles
available for you to download from our site. We've
added a bunch recently and eclipsed the 200+ title
mark. Check 'em out! |
|
A while ago I blogged about my "
Broken
Records."
These are audio learning titles that contain such
wisdom that you can't really listen to them too
much. Indeed they are great to listen to over and
over again and will change your life in incredible ways. |
|
For those of you who haven't heard, Dan Millman's
best-selling book Way of the Peaceful Warrior has
been made into a movie (titled "Peaceful Warrior")
and is opening today in select cities around the
United States. I had an opportunity to attend a
preview screening of it a while back and I would
highly (highly!) recommend it. |
|
We've been hard at work the last couple of
months on a new subscription service and I'm happy
to say it's ready for you. When you sign up
you'll receive even bigger discounts (up to 40%
off retail price) and free full-length
audiobooks to listen to. |
|
I'm incredibly stoked about the fact that
some of the sessions from this year's TED
Conference are now available for free on audio and
video. Kudos to all the folks at TED who helped
in making these available. |
|
Summertime is in full swing. It's a great time
for traveling and relaxing of course but it's also
the perfect time to start audio learning. Listening
to books and podcasts is an excellent way to pass
time while you're at the beach or in your car on the
way to Grandmother's house. |
|
We're doing a special feature for an upcoming
newsletter entitled Change Your Life for Under $100.
It's a collection of the most life-changing
audio content on our site that can be purchased for
less than one Benjamin Franklin. |
|
A generation of people is being mislead by
some glitzy marketing. They are buying music and
other media off of services like iTunes thinking
that they "own" this media. But unlike the
generation before them was able to do with all those
CDs they purchased, this new generation probably
won't be able to enjoy their music and other media
for many years to come. |
|
Millions of people are going back to school this
week. If you're one of them and looking to brush up
on a subject or if you're not and just curious to
learn more in a given area we've created a series of
"101 pages" just for you. These consist of audio
and video introductions that we've compiled for most
major
academic subjects. |
|
Over the next several months we're going to be
adding hundreds of new titles for you to download
from LearnOutLoud. We're particularly excited about
two new companies we'll soon be posting titles for:
Sounds
True and Hay
House. |
|
We're very happy to announce that we've
partnered with Hay House to
bring you audio downloads of many of their
most popular titles. Hay House is one of the most
successful and respected publishers of
self-development and spirituality audio content. |
|
Our good friends over at Hovel
Audio have given us some new titles to make
available to you. Hovel Audio is a publisher of
classic Christian audio books that are thoughtful,
devotional, and inspiring. |
|
Every week at LearnOutLoud we add new titles
that you can download and listen to. One of the
best parts about anything you buy from LearnOutLoud
is that it's guaranteed to be compatible with any
MP3 player that you own. |
|
Why are audiobooks such great gifts? Because
they don't require the recipient to take any time
out of his or her day to listen to. They can just
pop the audiobook on while driving to work,
exercising, etc. and each time they'll think of you
and thank you for making their commute or workout a
little more interesting. |
|
Last week we announced that for the first time
in history we were making Integral Institute audio
content available a la carte (to see the complete
list of titles click
here). |
|
We wanted to offer a quick reminder to those of
you purchasing audiobooks from LearnOutLoud.com
for
holiday gifts. And if you're buying someone an iPod or a Zune
or
any sort of portable audio player for Christmas, why
not load it up
with some audio books they can learn from?! |
|
LearnOutLoud.com has teamed up with Effective Learning Systems to
bring you downloads of their unique self development
audio programs. |
|
