For many small business owners, web conferencing is becoming a valuable resource. Using webinar, screen share and video broadcasting to connect with clients and colleagues is saving companies both time and money.
If your small business has been reluctant to add web conferencing to your business strategy, here are 6 common myths that may be holding you back.
Myth #1 – Web Conferencing Packages Are Too Expensive – When looking for a web conferencing company for your small business, it pays to do your research. There are web conferencing companies designed specifically with small business need in mind. Small businesses do not need to pay corporate pricing. There are companies that provide web conferencing for free or as low as $9.95. Choose a web conferencing that grows with your business needs.
Myth #2 – Web Conferencing Is Difficult To Use – This is no longer true. Web conferencing should be as easy as a click of a button. If the company you are using is difficult to use for either the host or the participant, you will likely choose not to use the tool. Look for a company that allows you to start and record your web conferences with one click.
Myth #3 – Web Conferencing Requires Expensive Equipment – As technology has evolved, most laptop computers now come with built-in cameras and microphones. If your computer does not have this technology built in, you can easily purchase a web cam and microphone for around $20 at your local office supply store.
Myth #4 – Web Conferencing Is Time-Consuming – Most web conferencing providers allow you to share Power Point, PDF, Excel and Word Documents. These are documents you may be sharing in person, however web conferencing allows you to easily upload them and share these documents over the web.
Myth #5 – Hosts and Participants Need To Download Software – When hosts and participants are required to download software to use web conferencing, often problems arise. Choose a web conferencing provider that uses a 100% browser-based solution. Doing so provides instant access to live and recorded web conferences and prevents computer errors.
Myth #6 – Web Conferencing Isn’t Personal – Using video broadcasting enhances the entire web conferencing experience. Video allows participants to see the presenter as they speak. Transferring host control and using chat makes web conferencing very personal. The beauty of web conferencing as a business communication tool is that it allows small business owners to cast a wide and global net. Web conferencing levels the playing field between big and small business, allowing small business owners to expand your business to new territories without travel and time expenses.
If your small business hasn’t embraced web conferencing as a communication tool, these myths may be holding you back. There has never been a better time to begin using web conferencing to connect with clients and colleagues. Look for a web conferencing provider that fits your business needs and jump on board.
Web Conferencing technology has never been easier to use, more affordable and more accessible; so why are so many small businesses not getting the most out of their web conferencing?
Interestingly, with 89% of organizations having employees that work remotely, it has never been more important to implement web conferencing technology such as webinar, screen share, video broadcasting and chat. Web conferencing can truly save small businesses both time and money.
In a recent survey, 70% of business leaders that travel 1-5 times per month have video conferencing available at the office. Unfortunately, many small businesses do not understand how to implement web conferencing into their business strategy and do not realize the cost-saving benefits associated with web conferencing.
Small businesses that implement web conferencing communication have the potential to save up to 50% of travel costs. At a time most companies are looking to increase sales and cut costs while expanding globally, web conferencing is the perfect solution.
In the early 2000’s Broadband Internet started to become available to consumers. As Internet speeds have become faster and faster, more applications are becoming available for businesses, as well as consumers.
One of those applications is online education. The Internet has truly changed the face of virtual classrooms. In the 90’s, satellite learning became a way for rural school districts to provide upper level classes to their students.
Due to the Internet, virtual classrooms have found their way into our homes through webinars, screen share and video broadcasting. These virtual classrooms are providing an endless opportunity for learning. In 1989, the first online learning courses were offered through the University of Phoenix. Fast forward to present day, the online education industry is $34 billion and growing.
Online learning can be free, through blogs, YouTube and Wikipedia and webinars, as well paid courses. Many corporations are creating virtual classrooms making online education commonplace.
In her May 14, 2011 blog titled, How the Internet is Revolutionizing Education, Courtney Boyd Myers writes “The world’s encyclopedia is as weightless, free and instantly accessible as Wikipedia, which is quickly gaining legitimacy in the education sphere. Using the Internet, you can learn a new language or delve into the depths of metaphysics with just a click of a mouse. The Web has unlocked the keys to a worldwide virtual school, potentially leveling the playing field for students around the world.”
With the use of webinar, screen share and video broadcasting, college students can now take courses and earn their degree, online. As the cost of higher education continues to rise, online learning is quickly becoming a solution, particularly for those who might be short on time or money.
Home schooling communities are also taking advantage of online learning. Virtual classrooms now provide a learning environment, as well as expanded learning opportunities by connecting students in online classrooms.
The Internet is also changing Continuing Education. Physicians, Nurses and other professionals that are required to stay updated through CEUs, are finding more and more opportunities to complete these hours, online. Webinar, Screen Share and Video Broadcasting are making it possible for professionals to maintain their continuing education from home.
There is no doubt the online learning industry will continue to boom. Check out this Infographic from OnlineEducation.net about how the world of online learning has evolved and grown over the years.
Can you remember life before Facebook? I clearly remember my husband telling me, “I signed up for a Facebook account.” My only thought was, isn’t that for college kids? I held out awhile, and finally, reluctantly gave in and signed up for my own account.
I just stumbled across this Infographic titled A World Without Facebook. It really got me thinking about how Facebook has changed not only our personal lives, but the way we network and conduct business.
Currently there are 700 million Facebook users from all around the world. If you are a small business owner, you can be certain your current and future customers are among those Facebook users.
How do you find future customers on Facebook? The average user has 130 friends that you don’t know. When your customers like you and your brand they become spokespeople for your brand, spreading the good news! 70% of local businesses use Facebook for marketing. Are you in the 30% that doesn’t?
Did you know the average person spends 23 minutes each visit to Facebook and creates 90 pieces of content per month. This content may be status updates, notes, sharing videos or sharing recorded web conferences. Each time a user creates content they are sharing a little more about who they are and what they like.
One of the best parts of Facebook is how seamless it is to communicate. With the click of a button you can immediately share news, photos, recorded webinars, videos and more. As a small business owner, Facebook allows you to connect with your customers and create a commotion in your business. If you’re not embracing Facebook, what’s holding you back?
Web conferencing is the perfect solution for connecting with customers, clients and colleagues at a distance. Web conferencing for small business saves both time and money, and is quickly becoming a useful tool in building a global business!
Web conferencing can include webinar, screen share and video broadcast. As the host, it is important to decide which method will be the best to present your message. So how do you decide which tool to use?
I’m going to focus on screen sharing and webinar. Each of these tools can be highly effective communication tools and have a very specific purpose.
Screen Sharing vs. Webinar
Screen Sharing allows the host to share what is showing on their computer screen with one or more participants that are remotely connected by the Internet and home or office computer. Screen Sharing requires large amounts of bandwidth and therefore it is best used when all participants are using a high speed Internet connection.
The Most Effective Use of Screen Sharing is for How-To instruction such as “How To navigate a website”, “How To fill out a particular online form”, etc.
AWebinar is a web-based seminar that allows the Host to share a presentation with their audience. Hosts can upload their presentation prior to the webinar, which saves time once the presentation begins. Participants view the webinar and listen over their computers using VOIP.
The Most Effective Use of Webinar is to share Power Point, PDF, Word Documents or Excel Spreadsheets with your participants. Webinars are the perfect solution for large presentations, tutorials and large conference-like meetings. Webinars are interactive allowing the audience to participate and ask questions using chat.
Using web conferencing to connect and collaborate allows small businesses to reach a wider audience. Screen Share is the perfect solution for website demonstrations. Webinar is the best option for sharing documents. Keep in mind, using Video Broadcasting with both Screen Share and Webinar will make your presentation feel more personal as your audience is able to see your expressions as your present.
Is your small business using webinars and virtual events to create lead generating content? In a recent study by Focus Research, instructional and educational content such as webinars and virtual events were rated most valuable for directly supporting the B2B marketer’s objectives.
Webinars and virtual events are simple and affordable solutions for both B2B and B2C lead generation and marketing objectives.
Webinars allow you to share important information with your customers or business contacts, such as new product releases, how-to trainings, specials you are running and more. Webinars can be live or recorded.
Virtual events combine webinar, screen share and video broadcasting. Virtual events allow for your participants to see both the presenter and the material being presented. Chat allows participants to ask questions and interact with the host.
A great way to use webinars and virtual events as a marketing tool is to create an event, such as a weekly live demonstration or monthly guest speakers that discuss relevant topics for your customers.
Be sure to ask participants to register to attend the event. By asking participants to register, you will collect important contact information for later follow-up. I recommend that you choose a web conferencing service that allows you to ask custom questions of your participants, as well as use security settings such as password protection.
Recording your webinars and virtual events allows you to share the recordings with participants that weren’t able to attend the live event. Look for a web conferencing company that provides detailed reports, so you know who is planning to attend as well as who viewed the recording.
Keep in mind, creating an archive of recorded webinars and vitual events is a valuable resource for your customers, as well as a way to create searchable content for inbound marketing.
Another feature to look for in a web conferencing service is social media integration. I recommend that you choose a web conferencing service that allows you to share webinar and virtual event invites, as well as post recordings directly to social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
If your small business isn’t currently using webinars and virtual events as a marketing tool, there’s never been a better time than now to start!
Web conferencing for small business is becoming a commonly used business tool. So why do so many web conferencing companies make it so difficult? And why do so many small businesses accept and use web conferencing companies that are difficult to use, heavy and expensive, without doing their research?
If you are a small business owner that uses web conferencing to meet with customers and collaborate with colleagues, it pays to do your research. You don’t have to settle for a service just because you recognize the name. Web conferencing for small business shouldn’t difficult.
Here are 8 features your web conferencing service should provide to make it simple for you to use!
Start web events with the click of a button – plugins, software downloads, too many choices make it difficult
Upload presentations for future use – makes it seamless to begin a presentation without having to wait for files to upload.
Record and store recordings – create an archive of recordings and store them for easy access.
Share recordings with one click – Participants should simply have to click a link to view recordings.
Integrate with social media seamlessly – share recordings to social media sites, such as Facebook. Friends can view recordings without leaving their News Feed. Also, web conferencing services should allow you to easily embed recordings into your website so participants can view them without leaving your website.
Use Webinar, Screen Share and Video Broadcasting in synchronization, and have the ability to pick and choose which features you’d like to use.
Provide affordable service that allows for scalability – your web conferencing service should grow with you!
Contact customer service easily – There need to be multiple ways that you can contact customer service such as live chat, by phone, by email and through social media.
If the web conferencing service you are using doesn’t provide the 8 features above, it’s time for you to make a change. Just because a service has name recognition, doesn’t mean it’s the right service for your small business. Many web conferencing services provide free trials accounts, which give you an opportunity to try the service and compare.
With the end of Summer nearing, and the re-birth of Fall quickly approaching, now is the time to test out some web conferencing services that may be a better fit for your company. I have no doubt you will find a service that is simple to use and priced affordably for you small business needs.
Social Media is an incredible tool for small business. Developing an online presence takes time and consistency but the benefits are so rewarding.
Examples of the types of relationships that can be developed through Social Media are all around. What I have found is the contacts that I have made through Social Media can truly be life and business changing.
One of those contacts is Sweetie Berry. Sweetie and I met on a #leadfromwithin Tweetchat early this year. Sweetie has not only given me incredible business advice, she is quickly becoming a very dear friend.
Sweetie Berry is a skillful wordsmith and ghost writer. Her background in learner behaviors and love for writing combine to provide entrepreneurs and creatives effective support systems for their projects. Beyond writing, she is a creative marketing strategist. She is known for her out of the box successful sales and product marketing. Sweetie has worked with start-ups as well as projects that received a multi million dollar bank evaluation within eight months of its launch. If a client requires content media production, web development, or implementation of product delivery tools, her team will develop the product as well as the e-commerce and marketing components for implementation.
Sweetie and her husband Les recently began a new journey with the launch of www.basicsmatter.com! Basics Matter was created to help folks focus on keeping first things first at home and in business. Inviting folks to The Front Porch, an online gathering to share Reliable Resources #RR and what works for each of us as folks helping folks.
My WebEvent is a Reliable Resource #RR at Basics Matter. My WebEvent provides a simple to use, affordable web conferencing tool for small business. Webinar, Screen Share and Video Broadcasting are a perfect solution for connecting and collaborating with customers and colleagues.
My WebEvent and Sweetie Berry recently had a conversation about My WebEvent and how it can be used to grow your small business.
