The great thing about doing business online is that you have an array of ways to promote your business and products, among other things. If you want a really nice and easy way to promote or sell your products though, you should start thinking about webinars. Think of a webinar as a viral video, they are like phone conferencing, but with added video options. Many different people can end up seeing this webinar, and they will reach out to you when they need your services. You can also choose to promote your webinar through targeted audiences as well by choosing specific keywords and sites to put your webinar on.
While a webinar is a great way to get clients to buy what you are selling or to use your services, you can also use them for other aspects as well such as product presentations, live demos, how to topics, tech talk, and social meetings. Webinars can be utilized for a variety of tactics. While this is a really nice way to increase sales, you will still have to put some marketing behind it. But, as with most other things online you have about one hundred ways of going about this.
You can either put it on a website and blog about it, you can get someone to do article marketing for you, post links on your website domains, contact various people you know and customers. Many people are using social media like Twitter and Facebook to promote as well. Make sure if you do post it on Twitter, Facebook and those other social sites, that you make the account from which you are posting the link relevant TO the webinar,this will allow you to target your audience.

If you have a Smartphone and you truly feel like you aren’t using it to its fullest, you are probably right! Most people that own Smartphones only use about half of what their real potential really is! In order to use your Smartphone to its fullest ability, one of the best things to do is get involved in some of the APPS available for your phone. Here are a few suggestions for your Android, Blackberry or iPhone:
- Get Free Turn-by-Turn GPS on an iPhone: When Google originally brought turn-by-turn GPS to the android phone, iPhone users were envious to say the least! In March, iPhone users gained their own app that allowed turn-by-turn GPS abilities courtesy of none other than MapQuest. You also have turn-by-turn with voice if you are an iPhone user with the MapQuest 4 Mobile app.
- Communicate with everyone using Fring: If you love Social sites like Myspace, Google Talk, AIM, and Twitter, you are going to love this app! It allows you to use the application as a hub which allows you to talk and use ONE place for all your Social sites rather than having to visit and use each one individually. HUGE time saver. Fring is available for iPhone, Android, and Nokia devices.
- Find Wi-Fi in Your Area: Apple might have cut wifi stumblers out of their own App store, but you can still turn to a variety of wifi directories, in this case JiWire’s Wi-Fi Finder. This Wifi finder has well over 280,000 hotspots in its directory!
- Compare Prices With ShopSavvy: You can find an array of APPS available that can turn your phone into a bar code scanner, but one of the best apps I have seen thus far that always allows you to do a price comparison is ShopSavvy. You can use these either at local stores or at stores online. You can also set up wish lists as well based on the prices of the scanned items. Pretty cool!
- Slip Away With Fake-A-Call: Sometimes when you are on the phone and having an awkward phone convo with someone, you just WISH someone would call in on the other line and interrupt. Well, now there is no more wishing with Fake-A-Call. This is a free app that lets you schedule or create a fake phone call. Just a fun little app to use.
Some of these apps available, besides the ones above, are for fun. Others are a little more serious – great for travel or business people. Either way, if you don’t use apps, you are definitely not getting the most out of your phone! Most all of the apps available are 100% free. Even if you find one you really like and its paid, chances are someone else offers the same thing for free so make sure you check different ones out.
