Webinars

What the heck IS an expert, anywho? One definition, as it relates to knowledge management, states: "a person with a high level of combined education, experience, and skill."

We all pick up skills and talents as we move along day by day. It's inevitable, but what makes the difference between those skills being useful or just another step down the road? The difference is awareness. If we're aware of the learning process, aware of how we find ourselves listening to someone else's experience, even in the simplest daily task, we become aware of our growing arsenal of knowledge. We become capable of managing that knowledge, harnessing it into the proverbial "gift that keeps on giving."

Webinars -- an internet movement gaining steam. They're exciting. Contagious. Viral. And very, very important to a generation of folks becoming more aware of a mobile world. While many still, and probably always will, work in traditional offices, keeping a standard Monday-through-Friday schedule, others are tiring of that. It's restrictive to people who want to earn a living by not only picking up a paycheck every two weeks, but by picking up a paycheck earned through their own creativity and the knowledge they've collected through a tapestry of pipelines.

Webinars are online web meetings. Seminars via your keyboard. What a brilliant concept! And while you'll find many, many internet offerings on a vast array of topics, you want to be very careful as to where you go to learn the specific skills you need to further your home-based business, your art, or even your favorite hobby. You want to learn from the experts.

Web Page One Designs offers a monthly creative menu of skills and detailed information via their monthly Business Empowerment Webinars. All in one spot, you can chat about using public speaking as a way to publicize you and your business, how to have fun while you raise funds, start a business with no capital, what the IRS doesn't want you to know, start an ezine, or even learn about Testosterone Free Marketing (want to know what THAT means? You'll have to check out the webinar!) Topics are, literally, limitless and they expand each month. All are led by people with extensive experience in their topic, learned through "combined education, experience, and skill."

Their bios are prominently displayed for your review and you can take one webinar every few months, or you can take them all, every month. They're held in a chatroom on Web Page One's site, they're interactive -- heck, ask as many questions as you'd like, it's a great way to learn -- and there are NO sales pitches.

Oh, one more thing about these fantastic expert-driven webinars. They -- are -- free! Yep, free, as in . . . they cost you nothing. Visit the site at: http://www.webpageone.org/seminar/ and roam around. See how it feels to settle in for a bit of fun learning. Check out your fit. The next round of webinars are scheduled for January 19 and 20, 2005, so get on over there and check them out. And remember, they're monthly, so once you're hooked, you're likely to come back for more.

You have absolutely not a thing to lose, and much to add to your daily skill set. Give Web Page One's webinars a look-see!
