Changing Jobs in 2012 – The Skills to Make it Happen

Posted on by

Are you thinking of changing your job next year? Or even switching careers completely? Before you make a move, research carefully what skills employers will be looking for over the next couple of years.

Of the highest in-demand skills for 2012: computers, the Internet and information marketing. All the skills we teach at the Internet Marketing Training Center. Here at IMTCVA, we know that marketing on the Internet: blogging, website design, online video, e-commerce and more, will be growing each and every year. Businesses look towards Internet Marketing as a cost-effective and powerful way to reach their customers. Compared to traditional marketing: television, radio and print, the Internet gives companies a huge advantage of reach without blowing out their budgets.

The problem with marketing on the Internet is that businesses are having a hard time finding enough qualified people to do the work. Internet marketing is relatively new. Because of that, few people possess the exact skills and training to do the job. What that means for the ones who know how to do it is a huge in-demand skill set. You could even work for a number of businesses from the comfort of your own home. That's what we call a “virtual assistant” and there is no shortage of work for those who know how to do it. In fact, we believe that “virtual” jobs and “tele-commuting” is the wave of the future.

Where can you learn everything you'll need to know to be in high demand? Well, right here of course. Check out or free downloadable career guide and list of the classes we teach. You'll be glad you did.

Webinars and Teleseminars

Posted on by

Webinars and teleseminars are great resources to get information out to an audience or email list. They can be used to teach new information or to promote a new product, or both. Some people are hesitant to put on a webinar or teleseminar because they think it's too difficult. That's not the case. With a small learning curve, teleseminars and webinars are both easy to implement with little planning. Webinars seem to be a newer, hotter thing with marketers and business people right now. Probably because their audiences appreciate being able to see the screen and images that the presenter is talking about. With certain webinar software, it's possible to show images, provide live audio, answer questions, chat, take a poll, and a whole lot more. Also, some webinar software will record your webinar into a format that can be replayed over and over again. This is very helpful for guests that want to get the information presented but couldn't attend the live event.

Some people believe that they don't have anything to talk about in a webinar, which is why they don't do one. If that's the case, all you need to do is find an expert in the field you wish to have a webinar, and interview them. That can be the whole webinar. This works out great for the expert because they are getting publicity and it also works out great for you because all you have to do is come up with a set of questions. At the end of the webinar, be sure to promote a product or service that you are selling, as this will be the perfect time to get your audience to buy. There's many other nuances to having webinars and teleseminars that you need to know. To find this information and much more, you may wish to get a proper education in Internet marketing. The Internet Marketing Training Center is the best place to learn how to run your own webinar, but that's not all. IMTC teaches you everything you need to know about Internet marketing.
