As many of you know I help solopreneurs utilize the internet to market their business. One of the most useful tools I have in my online arsenal is Skype and a valuable extra to Skype, Mikogo.
I’ve set it up for a non-profit organization so they can hold their physical, or as I like to refer to it, terra firma meeting along side a virtual meeting for the attendees that can’t make the terra firma meeting.
Skype, in my humble opinion, is a fantastic tool. You do need to let the other person finish speaking, but all in all, it’s a great tool. Mikogo only enhances Skpye and extends it one step further.
Switch presenter – let a meeting participant share their own screen. (awesome feature)
Access remote keyboard and mouse control – the current presenter may grant control of their screen to another user at any time.(great for tech support)
Transfer files – the organizer and guests can send files of up to 200MB to each other (whooo hoooo so easy)
Select applications - Got an open application which is not required for the meeting? Select to hide it.
Pause transmission – take a meeting break and suspend the transfer of screen data.
Now, Mikogo has gone one step further and created a fantastic tutorial to help you install and use Mikogo.
Once you have it installed, skype me at northsandiegobusiness so we can play!!

Conquering The Digital Divide presented an online webinar sharing why adding audio and video to your site will help bring and keep visitors. Adding multimedia adds stickiness to your site. What I mean is that when your visitors land on your site, with audio or video they have something to do, keeping them on your site longer. That’s a good goal for your site, keeping them glued to it.
On Friday, June 6th Barbara Eldridge, Mind Masters was my special guest in Conquering Digital Divide, presenting "Strategic Planning for Your Business, Part One".

Online Marketer Helps Entrepreneurs Tap Into Wealth of Web Tools
By LIZ WIEDEMANN
San Diego Business Journal Staff
Online resources offer small business owners access to “the free stuff,” according to Debra Simpson, and everybody likes free stuff, she says.
Simpson is owner of Magic In Words, a Carlsbad-based Internet marketing business designed to help entrepreneurs increase traffic to their Web sites.
“I spend a lot of time with my clients teaching them online social networking and how to incorporate those Internet tools into their businesses,” said Simpson, who also produces North San Diego Business@Large, a blog dedicated to North San Diego County business news.
“Most people just need to be shown what the tools are and how to use them, and I think I fit that need,” she said.
In regular podcast interviews with local business professionals and as a guest speaker throughout Southern California, Simpson said she teaches low-cost and no-cost forms of marketing online, while creating passive income via sale of information products.
