SpeakPipe is an online service that allows podcasters to get voice mail feedback from their audience. It's a handy online tool that works in one of two ways. 

1. You can add a snippet of code to your website or blog which will display a widget
2. You can send listeners to your custom SpeakPipe homepage

In this episode of the podcast I play a question that was left for me using SpeakPipe.
The question came in from Ron Hitson and he wants to know how I would send traffic to a squeeze page without using my blog.

Many professional podcasters are using SpeakPipe to connect with their audience by allowing them an easy way to leave a voice mail using their built-in computer mic or smartphone.  When I listen to podcasts I enjoy hearing the playback of questions left by by podcast listeners like myself.

Podcasters Who Are Using SpeakPipe

Here are a just a few examples of podcasters who are using SpeakPipe to turn listener feedback into content for their shows:

• James Schramko dedicated six episodes of his Super Fast Business Podcast (so far) to Listener Comments. 
• Daniel J. Lewis of The Audacity to Podcast features the SpeakPipe widget prominently on his contact page along with his phone number and additional points of contact. 
• Dave Jackson from School of Podcasting gets tons of feedback through SpeakPipe that he often plays on his show. Here's a great example of a message left by your's truly.

Promoting Squeeze Pages

To respond to Ron's question about Squeeze pages I talked about how there are many marketers using YouTube videos to promote their offerings.

I gave three examples of marketers who are using YouTube videos to effectively drive traffic to their landing pages.

• Amy Porterfield
• James Wedmore
• Clay Collins from LeadPages

LeadPages is the number one solution for creating landing pages and squeeze pages. I'm using LeadPages to grow my email list and the folks from LeadPages have a long list of options for you to choose from. Another thing I love about them is that they are masters when it comes to split-testing conversions. They test colors, images, copy - you name it - if there is any aspect of an offer that they can test, they will do it and share the results with all of their customers.
