Webinar How To Tips – Host and Conduct Your Own!
With a few “webinar how to” tips, you can easily host your own. The beauty is they can explode your online or offline business and at a conversion rate that beats almost any other marketing strategy. I have seen anywhere between 10 and 30% of attendees become buyers. Are you interested in this kind of conversion? Great! Read on, and I’ll show you what you need to host your own webinar.
The first step is to put together a dynamite powerpoint presentation. In it, you will want to keep a balance of giving enough content that your attendees feel like their time was well spent but also creating a desire to know more, even leaving some questions unanswered.
Let’s face it. You can NOT teach all there is to know about your topic in a 60-minute presentation. And your attendees can not learn all they need to know in order to be successful from a 60-minute presentation. So, you owe it to them (and yourself) to offer “continuing education” at the end of your webinar. That continuing education can be in the form of a book, a service or a home study course – whatever you are offering.
So as you create your presentation, keep this balance in mind: give great content but leave something to be desired, and that will motivate your attendees to come back.
The second step is to find a company to host your webinar, and there are lots of good ones out there to meet your particular needs. Think through exactly how you will use it. For example, if you will host lots of people (1000+) at the same time, choose to pay by the minute per each attendee.
However, if you will have fewer attendees (less than 1000) and lots of webinars per month, choose to pay a monthly flat rate. Since most of the webinar hosting companies offer almost identical options, you will pay based on the size of your webinar and frequency of use.
The third webinar how to step is inviting people to your webinars. Once you have your webinar ppt created and chosen a company to host your webinar, now you need to think about who to invite to your webinar.
The easiest place to start is your in-house email list. Haven’t been collecting emails? Shame on you! But not to worry. There are companies that can do a reverse email list for you. You give them your customer list with physical addresses and they will return the list with email addresses added!
In addition to your own email list, go to forums, blogs, or even yahoo groups that cover the same topic as your webinar. After you leave meaningful feedback of some variety, invite people to your webinar in the signature of your post. You can also use facebook, twitter, Google buzz, Squidoo, and Myspace as forums to find attendees. Announce your webinar there, and consider using an online press release.
And finally, don’t forget affiliates. Your competitors and other people you do business with would be happy to send their subscribers to your webinar if there is an incentive for them. Promise them a cut of the sales for people that buy using their affiliate link. Or promise a reciprocal webinar – you will send your subscribers to their webinar if they send their subscribers to yours!
These three webinar how to steps are crucial for planning and hosting your webinars. None of these steps are particularly challenging; they simply require a bit of planning and execution. Follow through, and you will see your sales explode like never before.
