Are you on Skype yet? You should be!

Today you can go to Skype.com and download FREE application to turn your laptop or desktop into a Video Call center, plus the call is FREE through the internet. Talk Face-to-Face with your regional, president, mother, sister and friends on Skype. You can read your little girl a bedtime story from your hotel room on the road, Doug and I often share dinner together on Skype and enjoy real-time conversations. I took this screen shot not to long ago. Doug Skyped American Idol on one computer and then set up an Ichat with me on the other so we could watch Idol Gives Back together. He made a sandwich and I ordered room service and we were online for free for a couple of hours enjoying a meal and TV. This is an amazing tool and I am having a BALL!!!!  I am excited to begin to use this program to share training, inspiration, motivation and ideas with my clients and industry professionals.



 You will need a built in or web cam for your computer. I went to PCMag.com for the best reviews on equipments and found Editor Choice web cam from Logitech. Anytime you have to purchase an electronic devise I recommend you check first with PCMAG.com. I was then able to search for the best price on the best devise and found it at Best Buy on sale.

Anne Sadovsky just purchased this one and we are Skyping away! It is so much fun sharing ideas and it's a great way to look at her jewelry!  It is always best that you are hard wired in for your Skype experience however, I have been successful with WIFI too. I love being able to join a meeting I otherwise could never have attended. Twice now I have Skyped in as a surprise to an audience with great results!  If are not using Skype yet - you gotta try this. When you do, look me up and let's Skype.


If you have a built in camera on your computer you could be Skyping in minutes with no cost at all. Oprah has been Skyping people into her show for months. Here she Skypes with Josh Silverman, the president of Skype. This is not a high tech devise for only the young, this is a great tool for anyone in any business to be available for real-time conversations and face-to-face interactions. We all know the word seminar, I am scheduled for a Webinar with Multifamily Insiders on May 20th - are you ready to book a Skypinar? We are!!!!!  :  )

I am loving Skype. My sister in Carmel is hooking up her camera, and I have done a couple of Fair Housing follow up sessions with Q&A. This is such a fun and exciting concept. Toni and I Skype in our PJs and no make up, but I doubt you will get to see that!!! Skype sessions need to be planned so you don't catch each other in awkward moments...schedule ahead. Get Skype and don't miss out on the opportunities that Toni and I are offering. Trust me, if I can do it, you can do it!
