Want to host a webinar? Great! There are three things you must do in order to successfully hold a webinar… 1. Host a webinar 2. Conduct a webinar 3. Produce a webinar

Host a Webinar The first place to start is to choose a company to host your webinar. Some of the better known ones include GoToWebinar, WebEx, Omnovia, Adobe Connect, etc.

Be aware that webinar hosting companies will ask your viewers to sign up for your webinar. The company will allow you to decide what kind of information is necessary for this, and here\’s a free tip. Ask for FULL CONTACT information because then you can send a reminder email to your viewers on the day of the webinar. You could even give them an automated phone call using VoiceShot. This is pretty amazing!

And if you have required their address as part of the registration, you can send them a piece of direct mail after the webinar to encourage more sales. You could even pick up the phone and call a few of your attendees to generate more sales!

In addition to registering your viewers, webinar hosting companies also handle the technology behind your webinar: your computer presentation and your voice, whether by phone or computer mic.

Conduct a Webinar After you have chosen your hosting company and gotten all the details set up, you will next conduct your webinar. Most people use a powerpoint in either slide show or presentation mode, but you can also use a spreadsheet, web sites on the internet, or even a video.

Here\’s a warning about videos. Full-motion video will lag on most webinar hosting platforms, but the sound won\’t. So if you have a testimonial from a successful student or client you want to show, go for it! The video portion may not be in sync with the audio, but they will see the person and hear his voice and that is very powerful for sales.

Another tip when conducting a webinar is to use the \”polls\” feature. Your attendees will love the interaction and you will get a good sense of where their obstacles are. If you identify their problem and then offer the solution, you will have a VERY successful webinar!

Produce a Webinar From your live webinar, you cna make a recording for a replay. This is not only courteous for those who could not watch your webinar, but it\’s also strategic. Those who did not originally see it, can watch it and can even share it with others. By making a recording, you can increase your sales.

So, to produce a webinar replay, you need to record the webinar on a separate computer using a software called Camtasia. The second computer logs in as an attendee, hit the record button and away you go.

As you record, keep the chunks short, only 8 to 10 minutes each. This will help you avoid buffering issues. Save these chunks in a swf format. Camtasia will let you do this and even let you arrange them into an easy-to-read table of contents for replays

So there you have it…host a webinar, conduct a webinar and produce a webinar. It is really not that complicated and can make you a ton of money if you do it right!

What would prevent you from conducting webinars if there was a way to start planning and implementing them into your business immediately? In planning webinars you open the door of knowledge to reach hundreds of people worldwide without having to leave your home. You can also learn from others around the world and open your business to a variety of new contacts and potential customers.

Despite the pros of webinars, there are a few reasons that some folks shy away from planning and conducting webinars. They close the door to making money online because of the following:

1) The initial expenses that are associated with running and planning webinars are too high. It is true that an initial investment is necessary and that time has to be set aside to learn how to get started, but I should point out that the outcome will be well worth it in the long run. Based on our experiences, my wife and I have never made less than $3000-$5000 when we have hosted a webinar unless we have less than 50 people on the webinar itself. (We always target to host about 50 people on our webinars.) After you have conducted your first webinar, you will see just how your investment has been paid for over time.

2) Only big-ticket items will be worth the effort when planning webinars. This is not true. It is possible to make a good amount on money by selling small ticket items such as e-books that cost $29. These are excellent for those that have very little start-up capital. My wife Kerry planned a webinar with her “Raising Leaders, Not Followers” ebook, which only costs $37, and she was able to make $16,000 on that webinar alone. Therefore, it is not workshops nor expensive courses that will generate high returns.

3) It requires a great degree of technical knowledge. I will not deny that planning and running your webinars requires some level of technical consciousness. However, there is nothing out of the ordinary that you cannot learn. There is a high-demand course that I have available that offers step-by-step instructions about planning webinars. However, if you do not want to learn the content yourself, you can ask someone else to do that part for you. You are free to concentrate on preparing the presentation.

These are the reasons that most skeptics use when discussing webinars. However, if your excuses are not holding out anymore as to why planning webinars is not for you, then it is time to take action. You will be glad you did when you see the results.
