How Businesses Can Lower Travel Costs With a Video Conference
Posted in Communications on 02/23/2010 03:41 am byTodd Duan asked:
Every business is looking for ways to lower their costs and provide a greater profit to their bottom line. The day your company is no longer profitable is the day you will be out of business. One must constantly look for new ways to achieve higher productivity inexpensively while at the same time maintain profitability. If you are spending a lot of money on your travel and entertainment expense you might be able to lower your costs with a video conference.
If you or your employees are constantly spending ample funds to have meetings you will want to investigate getting this setup for your office and other branches and locations that you have. The more that you spend traveling the more you will save. No more spending long lines at the airport. No more car rental expenses. No more lost luggage. And no more delays at the airport while your flight is cancelled due to inclement weather.
If you have conference calls now this is different as you will actually get to see the other people that you are talking with. It is nice to actually be able to look at people instead of staring at a phone. This is not a video phone call either as they aren’t setup for groups. Usually, video phone calls are done on a one to one basis. This isn’t what you need. You will want to ensure that every person has the ability to get in on the call. A video conference can accomplish that.
What equipment is needed? A video camera, computer monitor or projector, microphones, speakers, and internet or LAN (local area network) access are the simple tools that are required. You will also need to be able to either pay to get this setup or use one of your capable computer personnel to set this up for you. They are already on your company’s payroll so getting this completed by someone that is already working for you now will cut down on your expenses.
You will have two way video and audio transmissions in all your meetings once this is installed. Your employees can’t fake their attention. They can’t leave the room without you not knowing or do something else while the meeting is going on. It will also build rapport with other workers that have never met. You can actually bring people together from thousands of miles with this technology. You will be able to take the money that you are saving from travel expenses and reinvest it back into your business, build up your cash on hand, or pay off some debts. The choice is yours.
Video Conferencing is the latest technology to help companies lower their immediate costs of doing business. It is much better than a phone call and a lot cheaper. It can be easily set up by personnel that are already working at your company. It will revolutionize how meetings are run. It doesn’t matter where people are located they can be included on the call.

Turn Your Article Into a Video in 4 Easy Steps
Posted in Internet And Businesses Online on 02/18/2010 02:22 am byJay Jennings asked:
One way to reuse the content you’ve already written is to create a video article. That way you can take advantage of traffic from video sites such as YouTube — plus, some people learn better from video so you can reach an entirely new segment of your target audience with your information.
Many people think a high degree of technical skill is necessary to create a video article, but I’m going to show you only 4 steps are required, and while there is a slight learning curve, none of the steps require more “technical” knowledge than that needed to use a word processor.
Any article can be turned into a video, but for your first try it’s probably better to pick one that’s on the shorter side. While the process is exactly the same for a short vs long article, it just naturally takes longer to create a video from a longer article.
1. Create an audio version of your article. Okay, some people are going to suggest this one step should be an article in itself, but it’s not that hard. You can use something like Audacity, which is free software, or if you’re using a Mac, fire up GarageBand. In any case, all you need to do is start recording and read your article out loud.
Here’s a quick tip about that — if you write in a casual manner you’ll usually have an easier time reading the article without it sounding like you’re reading. Ideally, you want it to sound as if you’re talking rather than reading. One way to accomplish that is to practice reading the article out loud. You’ll quickly spot the areas where you need to use a contraction so you don’t sound so formal, or maybe a sentence is so long that you run out of breath, etc.
It may take you several tries before you get a recording that sounds okay to you, but don’t be so super-picky that you take hours to do this step. After the article has been recorded, save it as an MP3 file.
2. Mark up the article. Go through a printed copy of the article and highlight the most important parts. If you were reading the article for the first time, what parts would you underline? Those are the words that will show up on the video, not the entire article.
3. Layout the video. In this article I can’t give you step-by-step instructions because I don’t know which software you’ll be using, but whether it’s MovieMaker on Windows, iMovie on Mac, or something else entirely, the process itself is the same.
Import the audio file you created in the first step. Now you’re going to use the “title” ability of your video editing software to create titles that match the words you marked up in step 2. Line them up to match where they appear in the audio file so when the video plays the words magically appear as you speak them.
Be sure and add the article title to the front of the video, and end with a URL that’s part of your call-to-action in the resource box of the article.
4. Export the finished product. After you’re done laying out all the titles and the video looks the way it should, export the video to a format that can be uploaded to YouTube. You will probably have many export options to choose from, but look for anything with “H.264 encoding” — that should give you good results.
After those four steps you’ll have a video that’s ready to be used by YouTube and other video sharing sites. In the video description area be sure and include the URL that’s mentioned in your resource box — giving people good information in the video is a must, but unless you give them an easy way to click through to your site you won’t see the increase in traffic that you want.
Writing articles is good, but turning them into video articles can increase the reach of your content far beyond what you originally envisioned.

Web Conferencing – A Strategic Requirement For Business
Posted in Communications on 02/14/2010 11:07 pm byRangoo Srinivas asked:
Web conferencing enables people from different locations to meet on the Internet and share information and discuss ideas. In this set up teams can work together viewing the same things on their computer screens at the same time adding the power of visuals to an otherwise conference call. Web conferencing saves time and expenses on travel and gets the work done faster or helps to offer better customer service. The web conferencing tools enable the participants to interact with each other by sharing documents and applications through online collaboration.
Web conferencing is increasingly becoming commonplace worldwide as it helps in reducing travel related costs and saves time. The other advantage is that the marketing reach is vast and beyond geographic restrictions. Web conferencing services enable the host to conduct powerful multimedia presentations during interactive meetings.
The requirements for an effective web conference are a computer with Windows 95/98/2000/XP, MAC OSX or Linux with minimum1.2GHz or a faster processor, at least 256 MB RAM, Internet connectivity of 240kpbs or faster and a browser such as Internet Explorer, Netscape, Safari, etc. with Flash Player 7 plug-in.
Web conferencing helps business owners and managements to perform the following without traveling and meeting in person:
- Conduct hands free presentations online using PowerPoint with synchronized scrolling, hold group meetings of teams, share statistics or images, discuss strategies and provide customer service
- Conduct training for teams and workforce
- Demonstrate applications aided by real time audio and video
- Hold staff meetings to discuss budget, view and share spreadsheets and documents together to plan strategies
- Recording and playback the web conference proceedings
Various web conferencing solutions are available that are flexible, reliable and easy to use. Reservations for the web conference are made online or over telephone, extra features, like, recording or transcription, question and answers and feedback make sure to ensure the success of the call. Usually participants dial designated number and are placed them into the conference by an operator. Automated conferences without the need of an operator are also possible.
An in-house conference call system has become a strategic requirement to be competitive in the fast paced global business scenario. The web conferencing expenses can be reduced significantly by owning the Audio conference bridge as outsourcing the web conference service can be expensive or inconvenient and not secure.
There are many features provided by web conferencing companies. Some of the main features are desktop and application sharing, remote control, multiple presenters, power point and document sharing.
Today it is easy for anyone with a broadband Internet connection and a browser to participate in or host a web conference, a webinar or a web and video conference using affordable web conferencing software. A computer with multimedia facilities and Internet connection is all that is required for web conferencing.
There are many web conferencing companies providing more efficient as well as cost effective ways to meet, train and market products to remote customers and partners. They provide web conferencing as well as video conferencing solutions to small, mid sized business as well as world’s leading enterprises.
