Data Conferencing - How to Stay in Control

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 03:14:19 -0500

Have you ever called your internet company and told them about a problem with your computer? You tell them what it is, and then, as if through sorcery, unbeknownst to you your mouse starts moving around. The woman on the other end of your line was using data conferencing to fix your internet. This type of conferencing is the technological bridge between audio and video conference calls. Using this, two or more people can hold a meeting through their computers with easy access to each other's files. This entails purchasing or downloading interactive software that acts as a conferencing bridge between lines. When you need to share files, reports, spreadsheets, or whatever you need someone else to see or have access to, data conferencing is an invaluable tool. Say you need your second in command to guide you through the yearly sales reports. The fact is you just can't seem to make heads or tails of anything you see. After she guides you through the charts and reports step by step, with her mouse controlling your curser, you understand completely. It's always easier to do business when you're in control. **End Summary** Topics: data conferencing]]> web conferencing]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jason Jantzi writes for www.ConferencingReport.com and is a specialist in researching audio and video conferencing solutions for business.

How to Use Web Video Conference in Your Business

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 03:07:39 -0500

The internet has changed how business is done. It is no longer necessary for everyone to be at the same place for a meeting. Phone conferences were possible, but not always effective. It was hard to show something over the phone. It is more difficult to read a person's voice then body language. Doing a phone conference had limited uses. Some companies did have meetings using phones to save money, but not many. These same companies quickly embraced video conferencing when it first came out. It was a much more effective way of communicating then getting everyone together at the same place, or over the phone. These companies were instrumental in supporting the development of the web video conference technologies we have today. Now, people all over the world can participate in a web video conference. They don't even have to be at their computer to do it now. Some cell phones have the ability to let people be part of a web video conference on the go. It is simply a matter of taking advantage of current technologies to run a business more effectively and cost efficient. **End Summary** Topics: web video conference]]> web video conferencing]]> internet video conference]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jason Jantzi writes for www.ConferencingReport.com and is a specialist in researching audio and video conferencing solutions for business.

How to Choose the Best Video Conferencing Cameras

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 03:02:11 -0500

Until a few years ago, the term web conference was conjuring up the image of small framed and badly viewed videos that remind us of cartoons and funny videos; we could hear voices speaking, but the image was either not moving at all, or it was too slow and would freeze. Normally, meetings could not be held online with this kind of technology, because the delay in image and the several problems of the software would be rather too disturbing and frustrating for professionals. The new advanced and evolved video conferencing cameras brought a new era to web meetings, as combined with the new and developed software allowed people to communicate and hold online meetings that had nothing to envy from regular face to face meetings. Participants do not have to draw on stores of patience anymore, waiting for image and sound to adjust; web conferencing cameras have made web conferences a viable option for online meetings, online learning, tele-seminars, benefiting from the proliferation of broadband connections that also pushed the trend of web meetings, allowing participants to stream rich media to their computer. **End Summary** Topics: video conferencing cameras]]> video conference cameras]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jason Jantzi writes for www.ConferencingReport.com and is a specialist in researching audio and video conferencing solutions for business.

How to Make Video Conference Equipment Cost Effective

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:52:11 -0500

I have just acquired some video conference equipment for individual use. I had this idea that it was going to require a lot of complicated equipment and education to learn how to use it. I work from home and am going to have to participate in weekly meetings. So, I got a new computer and a headset to plug into it. That was it. Now, mind you there is a built in web cam in my monitor. That is about the only difference I can tell from my old computer to my new one. I was lucky. The company had someone for installing the video conference equipment, which consists of my computer and its software. Now, I have to learn how to use it. I have to log into the website we hold the conference on and sign in for the meeting. That is about it. We are going to have our first meeting in a few weeks. It is just a matter of getting all the new video conference equipment to everyone. Not everyone has to upgrade their computers, but most of us do. **End Summary** Topics: video conference equipment]]> video conferencing equipment]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jason Jantzi writes for www.ConferencingReport.com and is a specialist in researching audio and video conferencing solutions for business.

Conference Bridge Selection and Why It Matters

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 03:22:57 -0400

What businessperson hasn't been on a conference call? When immediate calls to multiple employees or co-workers is vital, there can be no doubt this type of call can be a lifesaver. Without the seemingly ever-present telephones with a conference bridge that connects two lines at once, modern business would be at a standstill. The conference call is exactly what the name implies. It is a telephone call - usually a meeting - that acts as such. Say the Santa Fe branch of your company is expanding and you need to talk with all of the branch employees. With a bridge, each employee's phone line is connected to your telephone. Now you can talk, and all of them can listen. The phrase, "you're just a phone call away" takes on a whole new meaning. So, what is this mysterious and magical conference bridge? Like the Brooklyn Bridge, connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn, a bridge takes two separate calls and connects them. The bridge is the device, usually inside the telephone, that acts as that "line bridge." The bridge has been around for decades. Since the inception of conference calls, the technology used to connect the lines has evolved. **End Summary** Topics: conference bridge]]> conference bridge equipment]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jason Jantzi writes for www.ConferencingReport.com and is a specialist in researching audio and video conferencing solutions for business.

Audio Conference Calling Methods - How to Choose the Best

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:42:30 -0400

Audio conference calling is absolutely necessary for modern businesses, especially the ones that wish to sweep the board and overcome the competition, hence becoming more efficient. These calls can be made in two basic ways. Let's see what the most common ways are, and how can a company use them in the best, and the most beneficial way. The first way to use audio conference calling is the most typical and known one; the organizer, or the person who arranges the conference, provides the participants with specific numbers, the so called call-in numbers, which give all the participants the chance to dial into some sort of Communication Bridge, a conference meeting. This type of telephone used is, of course, specific one and has the ability to support numerous simultaneous calls, and multiple speakers, allowing people to participate in a conversation with as many people as possible or needed. The second method is a little more advanced; the organizer sets up a particular phone number, used only by a conference. The person who arranges the audio conference calling and the participants have separate pin codes that they need to dial into. **End Summary** Topics: audio conference call]]> audio conference calling]]> voice conference call]]> teleconferencing]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jason Jantzi writes for www.ConferencingReport.com and is a specialist in researching audio and video conferencing solutions for business.

Outsourcing Your At-Home Internet Business

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0400

At first glance, it may seem surprising: why would you outsource your at-home internet business? Isn't your home-based business supposed to involve you? Aren't you supposed to be the main worker? The answer lies in this one simple fact: nearly all at-home Internet business startups fail within the first year because they fail to make any money. The reason they don't make any money is because either (a) the owner doesn't know what to do, or (b) the owner knows what to do, but doesn't do it. Outsourcing can solve all of that. First of all, in a home-based Internet business, there is a lot of work to do. Much of it is technical. You cannot possibly be an expert in all of these areas. If you are expecting to produce a top quality product or service as the output of your business, or an effective website and marketing campaign to promote your business, you need to tap into some expertise that you don't have yourself. You have to. If you try to do it all yourself, some aspects will suffer. Perhaps you'll end up with a sub-par product that will fail to impress your customers. **End Summary** Topics: internet business]]> website marketing strategy]]> outsourcing]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jason Jantzi has used outsourcing to drive his Internet business for years.

Outsourcing Article Marketing: The Easy Way to Make Money Writing Articles

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0400

Article marketing is one of the most effective yet inexpensive forms of marketing available to online entrepreneurs. By writing articles and distributing them through article directories, you are able to get your message to your customers using other people's distribution networks. This is an incredible amount of leverage that allows you to reach large numbers of readers that would be too expensive to reach any other way. In addition, the medium of an informative article is much more likely to establish you as an expert on your chosen topic, which in turn makes readers more likely to accept what you are saying, and then to buy what you are selling. This is the basis of how you can make money writing articles. But the value to you as an online entrepreneur doesn't stop there. In addition to reaching customers and presenting yourself as an authority, you also gain authority in the eyes of the major search engines. The Internet is like a giant voting machine. Every link inbound to your website from another website is like a "vote" for you. **End Summary** Topics: Article marketing]]> writing articles]]> make money writing articles]]> easy way to write articles]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jason Jantzi has used outsourcing to drive his Internet marketing for years.

Free Website Traffic in 90 Minutes

Tue, 27 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500

Here is a website traffic strategy that takes less than 90 minutes to implement, but generates free website traffic on an ongoing basis - potentially for years. It operates on the principle that "long tail" keywords have very low competition, so your ability to rank on the first page of the search results on Google, Yahoo and MSN is not only easy, but fast as well. Here is how you do it: Use a keyword research tool like Wordtracker.com to research keywords related to the topic of your website. Use their "competition search" function in order to find out the number of competing websites on Google. (For more details on how to do this, click the link at the end of this article for a free resource guide.) Browse through the keyword results and look for keywords with a predicted 24-hour search volume greater than 10, but with a "google" competing pages count of less than 1000. Why a competition rate of 1000? Isn't that a lot? Well surprisingly enough, the number of supposedly-competing pages is not really representative of the true number of pages actively trying to rank high for any given term. **End Summary** Topics: free website traffic]]> free web site traffic]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jason Jantzi has used SEO to promote over 50 digital products online.
