takeITon video

Posted in Web strategy on: Monday, October 13, 2008 by Paul Boag

I recently teamed up with takeITon to produce a series of videos for small business owners on how to get the most from their websites.

takeITon is a agency initiative to promote the use of IT among small owners. A big part of that is promoting the benefits of the web.

takeITon have produced a business IT guide and decided to promote that guide through a series of interviews.

Below is an embarrassing promo they made me do.

The actual interviews are much better and you can check them out at takeITon TV. Hope you find them useful.

Be warned there are more to come. If you are foolhardy enough subscribe to the podcast.

    It’s a great walk through on takeITon tv though it sounds like the questions were voiced over.
    Frozen meals for old people! What an example.

    The presentation was not too shabby! Alex, I think the example Paul gave was in reference to Wiltshire Farm Foods.
