Trying to delve into the Google Hangouts realm in hopes of growing your online business, but aren't quite sure where to start? You're not alone. Unlike some of the more prominent online social media sites, it seems that Google Hangouts hasn't quite caught on when compared to its competition. However, don't let its slow social media start fool you: Google Hangouts can deliver invaluable resources to online business owners by allowing them to easily record and share online group presentations. From live streaming to quick YouTube uploads, there are ample rewards yielded from this still fledgling online resource. Best of all, Google Hangouts are free, making them a financially savvy solution for online business owners everywhere.
Four Great Ways To Utilize Google Hangouts For Your Business
If you haven't yet tapped into the potential benefits of Google Hangouts, it's time to start. Consider these four Google Hangouts strategies to ensure that you're maximizing efforts and results from this potentially potent online resource.
Conduct Virtual Team Meetings: One of the toughest challenges facing online business owners is that internal employees all telecommute. Conference calls can feel too impersonal, while traveling to a joint meeting venue can prove impractical or financially impossible. Using Google Hangouts for an online meeting can prove to be an ideal solution. You and your team will get the face to face engagement required to brainstorm and connect, as well as efficiently manage and execute as needed.
Provide Live Consulting Services To Clients: Of course, internal employees may not be the only long-distance consideration an online business has; many of your clients may also be out of your geographical home range. Google Hangouts minimizes this by allowing you and your clients the invaluable chance to see each other for consultations and presentations. This provides a critical opportunity to engage and connect!
Offer Online Webinars: Want to share invaluable industry information with your prospective client base and prove that you're a leading expert in your field? Hosting a webinar on Google Hangouts is a great (and easy) way to do it. Once you install the Google video chat plugin/app, users simply need to start and name a Hangout. From there Google takes over, recording and uploading your session for you for quick and simple sharing.
Hold A Company Press Conference: Have some exciting internal news you'd like to herald out to the masses? Use Google Hangouts. Not only will you have the opportunity to share your noteworthy tidbits, but you'll also be able to give your guests an opportunity for a question and answer session to maximize your time together.
