Over the last few years I have noticed a large amount of my
downline, sponsors and clients often have terrible phone calling
plans depending on where they live. One of the top skills we as
sponsors in our programs continually teach our teams to pick up
the phone and call their downlines in an effort to help those
people achieve success.

If you live in a good part of the country or a country that
offers great phone calling plans you don’t have much to worry
about. However if you are unfortunate to live where the plan is
very expensive, you may not be in a position to call your team
properly. Keep in mind that a phone call can make the difference
between getting an active member or losing that member for good.

So how do you solve this problem if you are an online marketer
or business owner but you’re one of the unfortunate people who
cannot afford to call as much as you should? I may have a simple
solution for you that will not break the bank. VOIP is Voice
Over Internet Protocol. In other words you use your PC and your
internet connection to make telephone calls for free or low
monthly plans. You can even pay as you go in some cases.

Google Talk: If you don’t mind registeting for a free Gmail
account at Google they offer free VOIP service that enables you
to call or send instant messages your team, family and friends.
Offering a quick download it should only take you about 3
minutes on a modem ( files size: 900K). One notable item is that
it requires Windows XP/2000 with a minimum of a 56k (broadband
recommended) connection. Dial up will work however broadband
will be easy to talk and IM your friends. iConnectHere |
Broadband Phone: What’s nice about iConnectHere is it’s low
normal plans starting under twenty dollars. They will help you
“Hang up on High Prices” as their slogan says. iConnectHere
Broadband Phone offers low calling rates maybe the lowest in the
world for your local, long distance and international telephone
needs. Imagine being able to call that lead from Austailia!
Their plans could save you up to 80% when compared with
traditional phone service according to thier sites information.
Plus their plans include bundled features at no extra cost.

As you can see just from the two services above you do now have
a way to connect with your new referrals, sponsors, customers or
even your family and friends can use free VOIP to cut costs.
Using these types of services will help improve your support to
your downline and won’t cost you like it does when you use a
land line phone system with their high cost calling plans.

If that’s not enough for you here are two more services that
will make it easy for you to contact the important people in
your online business. This service is called Skype where the
whole world can talk for free according to the Skype website.

Using the service Skype provides, you can call ordinary phone
numbers all over the world. if your downline member has a bad
calling plan as well Skype is a little program that allows
anyone to make free calls over the internet to anyone else who
also has the Skype software which is free, easy to download and
to use. It also knows how to play nice with most computers
available today.

Skype also offers Voicemail which lets you direct your incoming
calls when you’re busy or offline to your voicemail. Your
downline will be happy they can get in contact with you when
they have questions.

NetZero also offers you a service where you can call people
anywhere in the world from your computer for free. NetZero Voice
makes calling as easy as instant messaging, except instead of
typing (chatting) you are talking over your Internet connection
for free.

Simple to use as with other similar services you just download
the software, sign-in with your NetZero member ID and dial any
NetZero member ID to begin talking for free and it works with
dial-up or broadband.

Either way you look at it, now you can and really you should
select one of these types of services so you can enable voice
communications with your new referrals and customers. It just
makes sense as people buy from people not websites or buildings.
They buy from you, if you call them! Get VOIP and get in touch
with them today!

The following key points to consider when you are deciding which
laptop to buy.

Size

In general, laptops are classified into three broad categories -
one, the subcompact or ‘thin and light’ type, which are very
portable, do not weigh much and have the most compact overall
dimensions. The next size is the type that is also very
portable, but will have a larger screen and keyboard. The size
that is one bigger than the previous type is what is called the
‘desktop replacement’ type. This will have an even larger screen
and an almost desktop-size keyboard. It will be more versatile
than the smaller systems.

Screen

The size of the screen is also a consideration for the type of
laptop best suited for you. Those who prioritize portability
over other factors will prefer the smallest screen. Generally
the size of laptop screens ranges from 12″ to 17″. For those
working with graphics or video, the bigger the screen, the
better the performance. Display with a widescreen format is best
for working with spreadsheets, multimedia and of course watching
movies.

Processors and memory

It is sensible to invest in a state-of-the art processor even if
you are a basic user so that it is good for the coming few years.

A good, value-for -money proposition would be the Intel® Celeron
™ if your computing needs are basic. The Pentium® 4 would handle
your needs even better. Intel ® also has a specialized notebook
processor tailor-made for mobile technology, called the
Pentium M.

As for RAM, 512MB is a must, considering the sophisticated
applications that are available today. A laptop with
upgradeable RAM would be good if you anticipate running short of
RAM in the future. Buy the maximum RAM capacity that you can
afford, as the amount of memory that a laptop can handle is
limited.

Hard Drives and Optical Drives

The drive size depends mostly on how much you plan to use it.
Today, an 80 GB hard drive
with a 5400 RPM speed would be optimum, if you can afford it.

As far as removable storage goes, optical drives are the choice
today. CD-RW/DVD combo drives are available economically. They
are ideal for data storage as back-up.

Networking

Intel Centrino ® Mobile Technology, combines mobile processing
power with built-in wireless networking capabilities. Computers
that are equipped with this technology can easily connect to
wireless networking areas in the house or office and an
increasing number of locations all over the world. This
technology also saves battery thus prolonging battery life.

Computers are one of the most interesting and complex machines
on the planet. They have the ability to intrigue anyone who sits
down and attempts to use it. On the other hand though, they also
have the ability to confuse the heck out of you! When I think
about computers, I think about the internet, Microsoft Word (for
school), and games. What sort of computer I buy should be user
friendly in all three of these aspects.

First you have to make a big decision… Apple or Windows. They
both have great features, and are both more user friendly for
each individule user. Windows is compatible with several
computer manufacturers, including HP Pavilion, Compaq, and target="_blank">Dell.

Now, in my case, I need to take a close look at each option, as
I have specific uses for my machine. When purchasing a computer
you should be aware of what your main purpose with it is. For
some it is business, others gaming, and for many, it is used for
school. Make sure you test each version, Apple and Windows. If
Apple seems the most compatible with your purpose, then
congradulations! Your choice is made. But if you decide Apple is
not right for you, take a look at all the operating systems that
there is for Windows. There are several, each with different
features, and you should choose the one that is right for you.

As you can see, the purchase of a computer is not always black
and white. What’s it going to be for you?
