Using Skype to Share and Learn

Talking and sharing
I highly recommend using Skype to keep in touch with your trainers  online, or with any new affiliate members in your business/es.

It is a very useful tool for training. Once downloaded from Skype.com and installed, with your new Skype name created, you can use the Share Screen button, not the Share Video button, which makes you visible to your viewer, not always a good thing, especially first thing in the morning!

Far better to 'Share Screen' and show your trainer what steps you are doing, so they can help you. The person on the other end can also share their screen with you at the same time, or separately, so that they can SHOW you the steps as well. This brilliant tool has helped sort out problems for me, as I like to watch and follow, apart from the free calls that come with it. For newbies to the internet, it is a great way to untangle any technical issues you may meet along the way.

To download Skype and make free calls to other members of Skype, you visit http://www.skype.com and download to install to your computer, as instructed on the website. You will need to have a Skype name too.

Tip: Don't forget to turn off the 'Video Share' or 'Share Screen' buttons after use, just before ending Skype call, as you certainly don't want to be caught unawares the next time you use Skype!
