Discovering New Digital Tools for the New Economy

April 29, 2020 by Henry Griner Leave a Comment

Interesting to see how many people are trying out new ways to do conferences and training now that it looks like we will be in this “new economy” for a few months longer. Business people need new tech skills today.

I just saw Viveka von Rosen trying out a Zoom + restream.io meeting setup. Others are popping up on my LinkedIn and Facebook channels all day long.

Even as various states and cities begin to open up and allow businesses to get back to work, I believe it will take a long time before conferences and large meetings take place again. What are your thoughts on that?

  • What digital tools are you learning to use now that you have not used before?
  • How often a day are you using video tools for meetings?
  • Are you doing online conferences or attending conferences online that were planned for in-person events?

Please post your response in the comments area below
so we can see what others are doing.

I started using a couple new tools to help with my video production and promotion work in the past month or two. I use ManyCam.com for video. This gives me the tools I need for recording video or living streaming to multiple sites at once. It includes lowers-thirds for titles, picture in picture and many other features.

I also found one of the tools that YouTube producers are using for making those video thumbnails that POP the look of their videos. I use TubeBuddy.com for those. Besides the thumbnails there are lots of stats and other useful features.

(Note: This page includes links to several tools and resources that I use for my business and to help others. I am an Affiliate or Re-seller of services for these businesses and I receive commission income when you click on these links and place an order. Most have Free get started options. I just wanted to be upfront with you. Thanks for using these businesses.)

Free WordPress Website Training

When was the last time you dreamed?

I don’t mean the kind of dreams you normally have at night… I mean the ones you probably have had in the past while sitting at your desk at that job, the one you may not be able to go to now.

Because of the Coronavirus Pandemic and the resulting lock down and closure of many businesses, perhaps the one you work at, life as well as health has taken a sharp downturn. However, this can be the beginning of new opportunities for those willing to look, listen and learn.

There’s no denying that the current situation has knocked us back on our heels.

If you are like most people the thought of starting your own business has occurred to you. Perhaps you thought that a skill you have or a hobby you enjoy might be something that others would like to learn about, even pay you money to learn.

I have some good news for you… For all of you out there who are considering starting a business, I want you to know that you can do it. I did it several years back. If I could start my own business, you can too.

STOP! Don’t believe all the negative stories you read in the national and local media. Not everyone is getting sick and dying from the virus. Get out of that mindset and move forward. Your family needs you. You can overcome the negative and find success.

I was working as the IT Manager for a family owned furniture store and I was feeling less and less fulfilled with what I was doing. There was little opportunity for me to be creative and less chance for any advancement. When I started to look around I found many people who seemed to be making money working from home in the Internet Marketing World, so I decided to see what that was about.

But let me backup a little in my story. I had already built my first websites in the mid 1990’s for my local bank and a Minnesota suburb. I was paid for doing those so I guess I proved that I could make money apart from working a regular JOB.

In May 2003 the WordPress blogging or content management system (CMS) was launched and soon after that I started building my own WordPress websites, learning how this new tool worked. Later, I discovered that many other people wanted to learn to build websites too… and so I started Mission Springs Marketing in 2005.

Today, I see the need is even greater for individuals like me and you to be in charge of our own futures and not rely on an employer or the government.

Zoom vs Skype, Which Are You Using?

April 6, 2020 by Henry Griner Leave a Comment

This is a heads-up from Techspot.com
It seems like Skype is not going away without a fight with Zoom which has been seeing staggering numbers of new users since the COVID-19 lock downs started around the world.

I just checked my Skype account and found this new Meet Now button on my account. I don’t use Skype that much myself except for family visits so it is something that I have not noticed until I read this article.

I found this new Meet Now button on my Skype account today.

The big picture: Microsoft appears to be seizing a window of opportunity for Skype as rival Zoom struggles to sustain and protect its surging 200 million+ userbase from the recently discovered security and privacy issues. The ongoing troubles have caused New York City to ban Zoom in favor of Microsoft Teams across its 1,800 schools, as the reactive trend for switching to Zoom-alternatives picks up pace globally. Skype, too, is one such alternative, which recently added a new Zoom-like video calling feature that goes one step ahead by letting hosts initiate meetings without signing up on the platform.
