What's your Favorite Webinar Hosting Platform? + Invite to Growth Leader Mastermind Call

A webinar on "How to do Webinars" -- Last week I participated in this awesome webinar hosted by Frances Flynn-Thorsen, the guru of webinar hosting and promotion at Socialebb Strategies and Solutions. She gave some great tips, and also discussed the in's and out's of various hosting platforms. Here's her blog with the replay:

We all know about GoToMeeting, which is probably the top webinar platform that I see. It has some super-cool features. The participants can listen by phone or computer. You can record the seminar for later use. And the best feature is that when participants receiving confirmation of their registration, they can click on a link in the email to ADD IT TO THEIR OUTLOOK CALENDAR -- cool, huh! I like how attendees can "raise" their hands for the host when they have a question. (They also have GoToWebinar.)

WebEx by Cisco has received a lot of publicity, isn't that the TV commercial with the little girl telling her adult staff about her cookie business? Anyway, their product appears to be very good also.

Frances recommended Trulia for online desktop sharing, AND you can change presenters during the presentation. Also you can make annotations and use whiteboard tools, give polls and surveys, and host online meetings.

Another platform she likes is DimDim.com, it's an open source program. The great feature about this software is that it shows the video of the presenter! I guess that can be good or bad, depending on if you're wearing pajamas or a suit! DimDim is also great because you don't have to download any software to your computer. It's one of the greatest ways to host virtual company meetings.

And Yugma.com free web conferencing "allows anyone, anywhere to instantly share their desktop and ideas online with others." It allows you to record your webcast in order to share and playback at any time. Another of Fran's favorites!

I'm a big fan of Skype, although not very formal and not commonly used for business. And if your video or audio goes down mid-meeting, you can always chat instead!

Okay, so here's the Agent-to-Agent Mastermind Call info you've been waiting for! GrowthLeader sent me an email today with an invitation to their ground-breaking Agent-to-Agent Mastermind call. You don't have to use Growth Leader to listen in! So here's the link for anyone serious or just curious:
