QUICK UPDATE: Stay tuned as on Friday I will be sharing with you my niche selection process in relation to the Niche Website money making challenge Pat Flynn and I am doing. In the meantime here’s my new post below:
————
You’ll probably find it interesting to know that I’ve been sharing with you the posts you asked for. Meaning, I’m answering all of your questions on a day to day basis and through these series of posts or tutorials, it makes everything easier for you to cope up with what I’m successfully doing online. Alternatively, these are great hints for me too to help you straightaway!
So for today’s video, I’m going to share with you the best teleconference and webinar tools that I use in the business. If you want to know the reasons why my mastermind program has been successful when it comes to communicating with my students, consulting and coaching with them on a regular basis watch this…

Hi, it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. In today’s video tutorial, I’m going to be answering a question from one of my subscribers and they ask me what is the best teleconferencing service or webinar service that I use.
Now, there are two of them that I recommend to use. The first one that I recommend is Calliflower and the second one is GoToWebinar. I’ll show you in this video inside exactly the two differences or the main differences between both of them.
So let’s firstly jump over to Calliflower right here. You’ll see Calliflower, it’s quite easy to spell. It’s Calliflower.com. Calliflower, I specifically use it just for teleconferencing services. It’s like as though I have a hall meeting room or lecture room where I can just hear the audio and I can hear people raise their hand and also speak to me in the teleconferencing service. I use this specifically for all the members inside my mastermind group so if I have say 50 people who are interested in attending the call and have questions to ask me, they are able to log in to the service for free using Skype and basically be able to raise their hand and ask me any question they want or be able to convert with me in a conversation.
Now, this does cost a little bit of money per month. It’s about $50 per month to be able to use this software or this tool online but it is well, well worth it because you can host up to I think 200 people inside teleconference all at one time. The beauty about this is that you can manage everyone all inside the control panel. So let me just log in just to show you what it looks like in the sample of how my solution works.
All right so if you have a look inside Calliflower, what you’ll find is that this is my Call Dashboard and whenever a meeting starts, there’s a scheduled meeting with the scheduled time. When you scroll down to the bottom here, what you’ll see is there are confirmed participants and if you come down to here where it says “Participants on the call”, when we’re on the live call, I’ll be able to see participants participating in the call. Usually, at the top of each participant’s name, it has the call button and also raise hand button. If the person has raised a hand, I’ll usually mute their line and they’ll be able to speak to me.
This is how a teleconferencing service works within my teleconferencing area and this is really powerful when you’re holding a teleconference between multiple people because people are going to be able to listen to you ]at the same time and communicate with you while you’re talking to and answering questions to your students. So that’s the software and the tool that I use to do and hold my teleconferencing services which is Calliflower.
The next one that I want to show you is GoToWebinar. GoToWebinar is slightly different to a teleconferencing service. The powerful thing about this particular tool is that it allows you to have same again, hundreds of people to be able to log in at the same time. But instead of just being in audio, you’ll actually see a visual presentation. What you could do is to be able to capture what you’re currently doing in a presentation way and be able to broadcast it out to numerous people who are on the webinar and be able to see what’s going on.
Just imagine or picture yourself in a lecture hall within a University kind of setting and you’ve got a one board or one slideshow presentation at the beginning and you’ve got someone running through that presentation and you’ll hear them talk about through their notes and presenting as well. GoToWebinar is all like that and it’s just all online. Same thing again, it doesn’t cost a little bit money to buy this but once you have this setup, this GoToWebinar is very, very powerful and it allows you to record everything that you do. Furthermore, if you’re like me as online Internet marketer, once you recorded these, you can put these webinars into product which you can sell later on down the track.
Sometimes you can sell these products anywhere between $97 up to $200, $300 per product as long as you have the right material and it’s got the right wordings.
So this is the next software that I use and it’s very, very powerful. Once again, it’s something that would be able to create and generate nice presentations for you online inside the Internet web-based setting.
All right, those are the two pieces of software that I recommend to use and this is in answer to a question from one of my subscribers and I hope that it helped you to give you a clear idea of how to go about holding teleconferences or webinars online. In my opinion, these are one of the cheapest or the most affordable solutions online for teleconferences. All right, if you have any feedback or any questions or comments, simply leave them down below. I love you to share this on Twitter and also FaceBook as well. If you can do that right now, that’d be great. Hopefully, if you’ve got further questions, I’ll be able to answer them in the next few videos.
So stay tuned for the next tools that I’ll be sharing with you as well. Well, that’s it for today. My name is Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. Have a great day and I’ll catch you in the next video.
Great! I hope you’ll also find these tools excellent for your business soon. No worries with setting up your own physical conference room anymore because there are lots of easier and affordable options to talk with your private audience online and all you have to do is register. So, thanks very much for your time today and I’d love it if you share your comments below and also spread the word onto your networks. Talk soon!
Have a look at http://www.gomeetnow.com. GoMeetNow is an affordable and alternative web conferencing service to more expensive solutions like GoToMeeting, WebEx etc.
Great Post as always! I always enjoy the bits of great information you always provide!
I see in the post above that Jean had mentioned GVOConference, I also use It. It is really great! and At a price that is going to rock the webinar Business World! $8.97 for a 50 seat rm!! You can check it out in the link above. In the name link ?maybe?
I love the way you make it all look so natural and effortless.
Teleconferencing and Webinar Services are certainly the way to go for the future. It’san easy, affordable way to get your message out to the masses with very little effort, but even so, for the small business owner or entrepreneur, the money charged for Calliflower and GoToWebinar, which are great services, may be too much, especially these days.
Have you heard of GVOConference?
It’s a really affordable powerful alternative, easy to use and works on any computer platform with no downloads for the viewer.
I use it to communicate with my autistic son who doesn’t speak. It allows me to see him as well as be able to show powerpoints, videos, upload files,etc.
What I really like about it apart from the price, is that it’s in five different languages – English, German, Portugese, Russian and Spanish, plus it’s soon to be compliant for the hearing impaired!
You might want to check it out sometime, after all, everyone wants to save money especially if it doesn’t affect the service, right?
Thanks! Yes I’ve heard of GVOConference, though have not tried them. How much are they charging per month and what do they offer?
Cheers.

Nice Video. Always find your content useful. I plan to host my first webinar soon. Quick question?
How do you record your videos with that small extra screen of you in your webcam? I’m talking about that added screen at 3:17, it just pops up. And at the end you make it grow bigger and become the main screen. I really like how it’s put together.
Thanks! What you’re asking is a function all built into Mac’s. Firstly you need a MacBook Pro and Screenflow software. Inside screenflow it allows you to record your video inside a little screen shot. Here’s a video I did here: http://www.tyroneshum.com/how-to-capture-video/
Was wondering if the pricing is a little more affordable on your webinar package than say GotoWebinar. I bet there are others on this comment wondering the same. Thanks
Thanks so much for posting this. I had never heard of Calliflower and think that “raise your hand” function is a great benefit. I’ve participated in a lot of GoTo Webinars (via internet and phone), but am looking at hosting some events and the futre and really appreciate the experience you share with both products as I gear up for more outreach.
Yes, the raise your hand function is very powerful and I’m glad that Calliflower offers this. I checked out other softwares and that was the thing that limited the calls and made it difficult to manage.

Thanks Tyrone,
I liked your intro….any tips on websites who can help me with videos?
I didn’t know calliflower. What are the advantages compared to gotomeeting.com?
I will host my first webinar within 2 months, and will use gotowebinar. Now if you record it, will this be done straight to my harddrive? I cannot find that info on their site.
Really liked your presentation on these webinar and teleconference tools Tyrone. Even though they cost some money, they are low cost and a good investment if you are monetizing those efforts while on the call – aka selling products or acting as an affiliate.
Really good info. there, isn’t there like a cheap tool that allows you to teleconference up to 100 people until you are ready for bigger calls as well?

Thanks Abrham. I still prefer Gotowebinar as it’s been very reliable for us and it’s not too expensive for us.

Hi James,
That is quite cheap for that many seats. How much would it cost for 500 seats I wonder?
Thanks.

Hi Tyrone,
Just thought I’d introduce myself. I’m the CEO of iotum, the creators of Calliflower. We loved your video!
It looks like a lot of your readers are entrepreneurs. If so, they might also find our affiliate program of interest.
Cheers, Alec.
Hi Alec,
Thanks and we’ve met before. You actually helped me setup Skype for Calliflower and that’s why I’ve been impressed with the service.
Any new developments by the way?
Shoot! So I did!
We’ve got some interesting stuff for running webinars coming down the pipe. Send me an email (alec@iotum.com) and I will get you set up on the beta.
Cheers!

Hi Remco,
Thanks. Have you downloaded Gideon’s Rapid Video Blogging report? (It’s got all you need inside to help you with videos): http://www.tyroneshum.com/rapid-video-report
Also Calliflower’s advantage is it’s lower cost of $50 per month and the ability to have a “raise your hand” function.
Usually with Goto Webinar it records it on their server first then you download the file from their system.
Thanks.

Hi Dwight,
Yes there are and they are also free. Though they don’t have the extra functions I was talking about inside the tutorials.
It really depends on what you need to do and how many people you will be hosting inside your calls.
