We are quietly beta testing what will become an awesome new tool for WebEx users. It allows you to leverage the WebEx network for your benefit. You can now post your content on the WebEx.com site.
We have another tool that will help you market your WebEx recordings: it's the WebEx Widget. With this little marquee, you can load the recordings you want to feature - along with a custom image - and add this to your web page. We have one here on the WebEx blog (see the upper left). It's pretty darn cool.
Here's a quick step-by-step for trying out these new tools:
1. Load your WebEx recordings on WebEx Channels.
Note the URL for each one so you can easily find them (it takes about 24 hours for the search engine to populate so you'll need to grab the URLs for the short term). We are in early beta so right now, what you post can't be edited. That should change very shortly.
2. Share your links with others.
Posts can be rated and shared so do that! Use the tools to drive traffic to your recording.
3. Be creative. Promote your business!
Here's a great first recording to share. Pick a presentation you've done before, jump on WebEx and record yourself giving it. We find a standalone preso of 10 minutes or less is about right unless you have a really compelling preso. You can load your slides into the WebEx and be sure to use your telephone to call in for the best audio quality. We have a lot of tips in this blog.
Our only caveat: please keep the content appropriate.
This site is open to the general public. Please post content that you would share with your grandmother and your child. Anything you post is available via our search engine, so only post information you want to share with everyone.
Remember, this is a beta and you are absolutely helping us test this. We will be rolling out incremental improvements in the days and weeks to come. If you have comments or feedback, drop us a note via our Facebook page. We'd love to hear from you.
I heart WebEx!
