Another item to add to your home office technology tool kit is a webcam. If you have a newer laptop computer it might come standard with it, but if you have an older computer for your home business, you could get a webcam for next to nothing.
Why would you want a webcam for your home office? Video is huge online. You probably already have a website or a blog for your home business, but it would be nice to more than just written text for your online audience.
A webcam is simple to install. They usually come with a usb connector. All you have to do is plug it into your computer and you are on the road to making your own videos for your home business.
The next step is choosing a software for producing your videos. Just check online at some of the top software sites. You will be able to find some good software at download.com
Another benefit of getting a web camera is for video calling. If you have a skype plan, you can talk and see the people on the other end of the call if they have a webcam too.
Web cameras can be vary as far as quality. When you are just starting out, you might just want a simple webcam that gets the job done. You can always upgrade to a better camera later on down the line. A simple webcam that gets your feet wet can give you a glimpse of the possibilities.
I picked up a webcam from amazon for under 5 dollars. It was a generic webcam, but it is easy to use and it even had lights on it. Think about adding a simple technology tool that can come in handy in your home office and home business.
