Communication: VOIP and Voicemail using Skype:
Ebay now owns PayPal and "Skype". Translation... its good and
will only get better.
Go to www.skype.com and download the free
software. This will also you so talk, instant message, or
even use a webcam to see the person your talking to, all for free as long as the
other person has skype
as well. The paid service are great and very inexpensive: "skype-in",
"skype-out", and "Voice mail"
all work excellent. *** As of late May '06, Skype is offering free calls from
your computer to any phone
in the US and Canada, even cell phones!
A little trick: Be sure to always pay for your skype sevices using Paypal
and your received bonuses like
extra minutes and extra free months of Voicemail.
Protecting your valuable business Data
Back-up all of your data.
Do it today! Imagine, tomorrow having your computers total memory crash
and die, never to be recovered. All of your emails, contacts, price
sheets, invoices, photos, contracts, all 100% gone.
How?:
Buy an external Hard Drive: " Western Digital " makes once called the
"Passport" compact, and simple to use.
Just use the included USB cable to connect it. Drag and drop files you
want to back-up, or another method is to
get a copy of "Acronis True Image ". This software can be set to
back-up and restore everything simply and easily.
Do it today!
Get the best anti-virus you can find. All of the professionals I
spoke with recommended the same software: "Kaspersky"
Instant Flash
Audio and Flash Video on your Website:
The easiest way to add instant flash audio and instant flash
video is by using a service.
Kitemare has been successfully using "Audio Generator" and we're very
happy with the service
except for the price. We are now making the switch to
BYO Audio. http://mp3.byoaudio.com/
Surprisingly, with BYO
we're getting many added features, for about 1/2 the amount!
Here is a comparison ( review / test ) of Audio Generator and BYO Audio
services.

Is there an even cheaper way? Yes, you can buy software ( $25-$100 )
and store the files
on the server of your web hosting company. After trying both, the amount
of time saved,
and the long list of added features from BYO, we're sticking with the service.
Using BYO Audio:
Use your phone to record the audio, and then simply copy and paste the HTML code
provided.
Set up multiple Phone extensions so you can separate your recordings:
Products, testimonials,
index page audio, order page instructions, special sales, etc.
Quickly choose from a variety of "click to play button, and choose a color
to match your site.
Track your visitors usage of individual audio buttons to see whats working.
Make change to your audio by simply, re-recorded the message with your phone,
without needing
to change the code in your web software.
Recorded to your own computer hard-drive using a Microphone or
Record by Mic via BYO's website interface. They store the files for you.
Keep ownership of your recordings. Easy to keep copies on your server and
theirs.
Pay monthly or save money by paying yearly.
Instant flash Video for your website:
BYO currently offers this for free, but we haven't tried it yet.
BYO Audio Company Website. Definitely do the 7 day trial, make a note, to cancel
if you're not
impressed after a week. I tested it fully, and its worth every penny.
Outstanding service.
Only downside, is I'm not crazy about their selection of buttons. (minor detail)
Why use Flash Audio and Video? Your vistors computer
will not need to open a media player.
The flash format stream instantly upon clicking.
Visit their website, do a trial, monitor your results, and decide for yourself.

Making your website profitable.
Only promote products and services that you truly believe in or, even better, are
passionate
about. Things that you tell others about all the time without thinking
about profit.
The key.... is to ONLY promote things that you personally use and enjoy.
Its simple: Share your enthusiasm, Make your site 3
dimensional (audio and Video),
and make it easy for your visitors to find what they're looking for.
