Why would a business person want to use youtube? Isn’t it full of videos by teenagers.
Yes, but a number of business owners have realized the power of video. For instance, an enterprising artist who was having trouble selling her paintings. So she started taking videos showing her creating it and discussing how she got her ideas.
Then every week, on the same day and time, she posts the video on youtube with a link under it to the eBay sales page where she is selling the painting. Every week she gets more viewers and her paintings sell for more.
How’s that for thinking out of the box!
I recently found a site that allows you to start your own networking group online. Whether you are involved with a group, such as a charity, or you want to establish yourself as an expert in your field, ning.com is a great tool.
Easy and quick to set-up, you can display pictures and videos, blog, create special interest groups and generate discussion with those in your network. Networks can be public or private and the service is free.
There is a business option and for a small fee, you can use your own domain name and remove any of ning’s advertising and replace it with your own.
