Web conferencing offers high-quality voice and interaction on almost a real-time basis so bidders can participate in your on-line auction just as they would in a traditional auction. Further, auctions through web conferencing can expand your market as well as your product base.

Bit of History

Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.

—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

Because web conferencing with video capabilities is relatively a new development, one way of earning money with the technology is by becoming a reseller of conferencing services. Although, web conferencing is a thriving new form of communication, smaller organizations have yet to take advantage of it. This means that there is a huge market out there waiting to be introduced and hooked up to web conferencing.

4. Become an affiliate - For example you can become an affiliate for web conferencing services or other products and earn money from referrals. These programs are usually simple to take advantage of, as it requires only your having your own web site. You simply sign up for a program and get an affiliate code to paste onto your web site and begin earning money by referring potential clients to the particular service or product.

5. Become a reseller - The best way however to sell a product is if you actually use the product or service and know its ins and outs. Thus, if you have more experience and training with web conferencing, you can become a reseller. Although there may sometimes be an entrance fee, resellers will earn more than affiliates because instead of only referring a service, they will actually go a step further and sign up the client. Reselling gives you a higher percentage of the signup and monthly subscription fees, giving you continuing income for as long as your clients continue to subscribe to the service.

Whether you feel more suited to be an affiliate or a reseller, you will need to conduct research in order to maximize your products. You need to know the product or service well and present it convincingly to your audience. Also you have to take advantage of the timing and position yourself in the market before the service becomes common place and inundated with competing affiliates and resellers.
