Interactive Web Conferencing to learn Online Marketing

Today I had a business associate call and talk about visiting me while she passes through Kansas next month. As our conversation progressed she asked if I would sit down with her while she is visiting and teach her some online marketing strategies. As a long time trainer of online marketing strategies I've always used web conferencing to train.


I shared with her that even my own sister who lives only 3 miles down the road from me doesn't come to my house to learn online marketing strategies. I really think you should learn in a real working environment. Our working environment is online so this is the logical place to learn online marketing strategies. If you relate this to learning to ride a horse. You can watch all the video's, read books about horse riding but sooner or later you need to get in the saddle and just do it!


Do you have a team that you would like to share your marketing strategies with? Especially online marketing stragegies? What a better place to teach but in the environment where the student will be doing it. The more I use web conferencing the more I realize I would hate to try to do a conference without it.


Yes there are still many people who teach from tele-conferences, but I'm convienced that they just haven't been educated themselves. It's just like doing anything for the first time there is always a fear of the unknown, or I think especially for a trainer they don't want to show they're weak points. Everyone when they first start web conferencing are a little unsure. The more you do it the better you get. Just like riding a horse... if you ride day after day you become pretty good.


Isn't it time to take the plunge and start web conferencing?
