Author : George RaymondTeleseminars are a means to reach out to people you would like to teach, inform, educate or sell a product or service to They are great for building or expanding your business and creating a client list for future enterprises

Here are a few uses for a teleseminar all businesses should consider

1 Education - You are able to educate with a teleseminar in different ways You can educate your target audience about specifics in your niche, you can inform the public about your service or product or you can have a meeting to train your employees or teach your students Using a teleseminar allows you to get information to a select group of people who have indicated they want to learn more

2 Promotion and Selling - If you have a product or service the teleseminar is a great way to get your product on the map People who are interested would sign up and call in to learn more about your product or service and learn how to purchase it

3 Business Meetings - Many corporations these days have employees living throughout the world A teleseminar is an easy way to get all of those people together in one place to discuss important issues within a company Not only is this a smart way to get everyone together, it is also very economical since there is no traveling involved or meeting rooms to rent

4 Reputation - Establishing yourself and your company in a good light can sometimes be difficult when you exist solely on the Internet A teleseminar will give you the chance to introduce yourself and your product or service to the world Putting a voice to a brand or a product is the best way to win over perspective customers; they now have someone they can relate to as a real person, instead of a faceless name on a website

5 Interviewing and Orientation - One way a teleseminar can be utilized at its best is in interviewing potential clients or employees You could set up a time where you have a question and answer session to have all of the potential clients or employees questions answered You could also do group orientations for employees This is a great way to meet with them and to get to know how they will fit into your company

That being said, Murphy says, ‘Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong ‘ Another good saying is, ‘Expect the best, plan for the worst ‘ Teleseminars are no different from anything else in life, mistakes can happen However, there are things you can do to avoid some common teleseminar mistakes

1 All About the Mute - Almost every phone made in recent years has a mute button, but it’s not used often in person-to-person calls In a teleseminar, it’s vital Make certain you and all your participants know how to mute and unmute their line Encourage everyone to mute themselves when not speaking It reduces background noise, and ensures good audio quality

2 Asking Questions - If you are avoiding mistake number 1, then most everyone will have muted themselves while you speak Keep this in mind when you ask someone a question Instead of, ‘What are the quarterly numbers, Bob?’ Ask like this, ‘Bob, I’ve got a question for you What are the quarterly numbers?’ This lets Bob know you’re talking to him specifically and gives him a chance to unmute his line to answer you

3 Do you understand? - In a teleseminar, you can not ask for a show of hands Sometimes though, you need to take a vote or a consensus Don’t ask the group a question most will answer - like ‘Does everyone understand?’ Instead, ask your question in a way that would get the least responses As in, Who doesn’t understand?’ This eliminates unnecessary confusion and repetition on the phone lines

4 Environment - While it’s usually advisable to use a landline over a cell phone, if possible, for top audio quality, location can be sometimes just as important You want to avoid noisy or public places, even if you plan on being muted through most of the teleseminar A quiet, secluded place is best

5 Budgeting Time - Time flies when you’re having fun It is easy to spend a lot of time on answering questions and having good - but off-topic - discussions Planning and distributing an agenda is always a good idea to stay on track You don’t want to do a great teleseminar only to rush through your conclusion and the Q&A Over the past 10 plus years, George has developed a series of sites: Solutions For…centered around the Internet Marketing Niche.

Author : Jane DawsonIt’s best to think about your domain name before you get started but, even if you have already established a domain name, it’s possible to either change it or establish a second, more effective name that links to your primary site

Domain name 101

A domain name is the address that is used to access your website Your actual address is an IP or Internet Protocol address, a string of identifying numbers; the domain name is an easier way to remember an address The entire area of domain names and IPs is governed by a body called ICANN The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers

Every domain name is accompanied by an extension, com for commercial sites, org for not-for-profit sites, gov for government sites, edu for educational sites, co uk for UK commercial sites, org uk for not-for-profit UK sites and so on There are other extensions for commercial enterprises such as biz and net which are often used if a com domain name has already been claimed

Domain names can be top level (TLD) or secondary level (2LD) A top level domain name sits at the top of the domain naming hierarchy with a name and extension such as com A secondary domain name is represented by a second extension such as co uk , for example representing a company as a commercial enterprise in the UK

Some domain names are actually subdomains, names that are attached to already existing domains Subdomains are typically established by the domain owner to represent a separate function or content area Or, they are created by a hosting service that adds websites as subdomains

A domain name must be registered by one of the on-line businesses that keep track of domain names Please note you don’t have to host your website with the company from which you purchased the domain name You can register your domain with one hosting company (eg the one offering the cheapest domain name prices), but host your actual website with a different company This can be easily setup by changing the DNS settings of your domain name to your hosting package DNS settings (ask your hosting company for assistance on this matter if required)

Domain trademark infringement

A number of countries including the UK and USA have passed laws to prevent ‘cyber squatting’, that is, infringing on a trademarked name by including that name as part of a domain name

Domain name selection

When choosing a domain name, you should make every effort to be sure that your domain’s name is descriptive of your product or service Even if your company’s name is Toby Jones and Sons, Ltd, you may not want to name your site as your company name, because that name does not help product seekers to know that you sell fly fishing equipment It makes more sense to select a domain name that search engines will identify easily as a sports equipment site

Using Toby and Sons as an example, you may want to think about words such as sports, equipment, fly fishing, reels and tackle It is of course, reasonable to add Toby to the name list, especially if your company’s name already has recognition

The best way to select a domain name is to enter your wordlist into a domain generating tool such as Makewords, Bustaname or Instantdomainname These tools will generate alternative domain names for you as well as identifying which names are available to register

A word of caution here These tools often generate hyphenated domain names in order to include as many keywords as possible However, you need to strike a good balance between name relevance and ease of use Many people simply don’t remember hyphens and you can end up driving a would-be user to a competitor site if the only difference in domain name is your use of a hyphen In addition, while domain name counts as a search engine tool, it is only one of many factors so don’t make the mistake of overcomplicating your domain name to attract more traffic; this strategy can easily backfire

Name purchase and registration

Once you find a name you want to use for your website, you must purchase and register that domain name There are plenty of registrars, many that also offer a variety of other services including web hosting, website design services and so on You can find a complete list of registrars that have been approved by ICANN at their website

Bottom Line

Your domain name is your first introduction to users; name it well eSources is the Internet’s largest wholesale directory of verified wholesalers, distributors, dropshippers, manufacturers and importers.
