If you’re not yet using Skype for your business, you definitely want to read this post!

Skype is a very useful application for calling people on their computers or phones all over the world, for FREE in most cases. You can also make conference calls, instant message, transfer files, and share screens, among many other features. Skype also offers pay services like Skype to land line phones and mobiles for very low rates. (You can, however, use the Skype app on your phone to take advantage of the free services!  I’ve tested it on the Driod and it works great!  So, in essence, you can make a Skype call from your phone to a PC or another mobile using the Skype app without using any minutes!).

Why Skype?

• Cost Effective – Prices to use Skype range from free for computer to computer use to some very cost effective plans for calling both landlines and mobile phones. Credit plans can be bought as a pay as you use option or for regular users there in the option to subscribe.

• Your Business can seem like an international enterprise – Even if you run a home based business it is easy to give it a global look and feel with the ability to purchase international phone numbers.

For some reason, many small business owners feel the need to have a website without really understanding how one is used and why you should own one.

The reason for this can be traced back to web designers, who themselves, don’t fully understand the purpose and use of a web site and mis-educate prospective buyers.
