Three Reasons To Host Your Own Teleconference
By Tom Parker, Thu Dec 8th

Top companies have been doing it for years.

It enables their employees to "be there" without actually beingthere.

Teleconferencing has been in existence for a number of years tohelp people to work at home and still be a major part ofmeetings.

But, now it's taking on a whole new dimension. One that isexploding on the Internet as a new stream of income.

Major Source of Profits for Internet Marketing

It had to happen sooner or later. Some quick thinking Internetentrepreneur thought of a way to harness the power ofteleconferencing to make money.

Now, it's taking off and is a strong, vibrant part of manybusinesses income. And in a lot of cases, it's a main source ofconsistent revenue.

What could be easier. By hosting your own teleconference, orteleclass, you have the opportunity to do more in thirty minutesthan you could in a month of advertising your website.

Wouldn't you rather stay home, pick up the phone, host a shortteleclass (that people paid to attend), and sell some of yourproducts as a direct result?

Many Internet marketers are using teleconferences on a monthlybasis as the optimal tool to keep in contact with their regularclients, website visitors, past customers, and new prospects.Teleconferences give you the opportunity to establish yourselfas an expert on your particular topic like articles, seminars,newsletters, or word of mouth ever could.

This type of delivery of information satisfies the need that isso prevelant to the foundation of an Internet business.

Three Main Benefits of Hosting Teleconferences

With the momentum that hosting teleconferences is gaining amongInternet Marketing top earners, what good does it do? Why arethey so enthusiastic about hosting a class, seminar, orconference over the telephone? There are three benefits thatmake teleconferences more attractive, and productive, than othermeans of sales and marketing communication.

You're Only A Phone Call Away

Ease of use and instant gratification, instead of a luxury, hasbecome a demand. In marketing your name, product, or service,this key development in the needs of the consumers or targetmarket must be kept in the forefront of your mind.

Seminars, classes, workshops, consulting, meetings... they alltake time, money, plans, and travel. It's much easier to be ableto sit in your home, or office, and "attend" a conference on thephone.

Attendees Get A First Hand Feeling Of "Personality"

One of the things that I don't like about formal seminars andconferences is the feeling of "inferiority".

Do you ever feel like that? When the speaker is elevated abovethe crowd, and everyone is listening to what that one person issaying, you feel like you can't possibly do anything the speakeris talking about. You're not on the same level. Most peoplebeginning in any type of business feel this way.

With a teleconference everyone is on the same playing field andinstead of feeling inferior, the person attending the conferencethen feels the speaker's "personality".

The phone has been a great way to keep in touch with people overlong distances. People feel so much better when they have talkedto a friend or relative. In the same way, when you host aconference, each individual person "feels" like they are talkingto you, personally, on the phone.

You are answering their questions, putting aside their fears,telling them they can do it. You're a friend, not someone who is"much better" than they are.

Teleconferences Create Their Own Income

Of course, it has to get to money.

The first two benefits not only create an easy way to stay intouch with customers and ezine subscribers, and websitevisitors, and give you direct access to each "attendee", butthey also create a very lucrative stream of income.

Teleconferences, whether free or on a paid basis (another easyincome stream), save people money, time, and creates trust sothat more of your products, or services, sell.

Plus, the fact that if you are hosting a paid event, you aremaking almost pure profit from the conference. Many peopleoperating on the Internet are now using these events as a mainpart of their income. If you host a conference to 200 people at$100 per, you've just made $20,000. Not bad for a thirty minuteto one hour phone call.

Add to that the opportunity to record your conference,transcribe it to written form and sell it as a package, give itaway for more publicity for other products, or use it as anarchive.

Everyone Can Do It

Teleconferences aren't just for the experts. Do you have anezine? Do you operate a website? Are you an affiliate of aproduct? Do you know how to plant roses? Catch fish? Find greatdeals in antique stores? Whatever it is you can do, you can hostan event. The limits are endless.
