10 Great Conferencing Apps for Freelancers

FreelanceFolder: Conferencing can be a great tool for freelancers. You can get on a conference call with a prospect to walk them through a proposal. (Whenever I do this, the prospect gets excited to work with me). You can also use telephone or video conferencing to collaborate with clients and other outsourced staff on joint projects, such as a website, an article, or even a logo design. You can even set up training through a conferencing application.

All of these features sound exiting, but there are really too many web services out there, and as a client I'd be hesitant to join a non-mainstream service for conferences. I've never heard of these services, and imagine that they're fairly small. Another account on some website that requires learning a new UI is only productive if you use it a lot. For that reason, I'll stick to services from Google and Skype. The phone services that don't affect the client are fine, although google voice is a good one too that's reasonably cheap.
