STEP 1. COMMUNICATION

First, we need to be able to communicate with one another…
I use 5 tools to communicate with those interested in me helping them. Create your account on each of the following communication tools. It will make it easy to communicate with me & much easier for you to learn.
Skype is a free communication VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) platform which extremely functional which will enable us to communicate over the internet much easier than sending each other emails. I refer to e-mail as “Snail-Mail”. Skype did to email what email did to the United States Postal System (USPS). Skype allows us to go direct to each other’s desktop & mobile phones. If I send you a message when you are offline, Skype will store my message and deliver it to you the next time we are online at the same time. My suggestion is to leave skype open at all times.
[A word of caution: Under no circumstances do you open a file that is sent to you other than someone you know AND only open it when the person sends you a file when you are both online. Further, you want to insure you KNOW you are communicating with the person you think you are communicating with. If you are unsure, ask a pertinent current question that only you and your friend share.]
Facebook (FB)
I like to use FB these days because everyone checks into their FB page frequently & do most of their online socializing. You can text message me when you see me online or if I am offline you can send me a message through the FB email system and FB will send an alert to my email account I connected to my FB profile. Your email will follow me wherever I am by forwarding your message to my iphone inbox!
Crossloop is a D2D (Desktop to Desktop) conferencing tool which enables us to come on to each other’s desktop upon permission of one another. We will communicate over the telephone while we navigate on each others desktop. This facilitates the ability to demonstrate how to do whatever it is we are trying to verbally explain to one another. “A picture is worth a Thousand words!” Crossloop is my choice of D2D conferencing tools. I also use Skype Screen Sharing as well.
There are many others free D2D’s: Teamviewer, Yuugu, Yugma, Skype’s Mikogo, Vyew, ShowMyPC, Glance (cross platform- PC/Mac) and many more. I prefer Crossloop. It’s simple to install & user friendly.
There are Paid D2D’s as well: Go2Meeting, WebEX & others.
Telephone
A mobile phone or a landline will be used if the conferencing tool we are using does not offer an audio feature. If you use your mobile phone make sure you know your plan. I personally ran up a very large invoice on my mobile phone bill because I thought I was on the unlimited plan. Even if I was on the unlimited plan, the international calls I was making to a Canadian telephone number were not included. Further I was unaware I was calling Canada!
Also you will notice on my site here there is a place on the right side of each page where with a scrolling message “Application is Temporarily Unavailable”. I have a tool I use which enables me to stream LIVE on all my website pages. You will know if I am on LIVE and we can TALK FACE to FACE right here on my site!
