Webinar How To - Running Your Own Profitable Webinars

How to run your own webinars ..that is the question. First, you have to put together a compelling presentation that causes your prospective customers to take action. You see, it's not enough to educate your audience. You can be the most beloved "teacher" on the Internet and still not grow your online or offline business through webinars.

You have to walk the fine line of giving really great content as well as asking them to DO SOMETHING at the end of your webinar. That can be visiting your website, picking up the phone or driving over for a visit.

After you create a killer presentation, you have to find a webinar hosting company so you can present your information to hundreds of people at one time. There are several good ones out there including GoToWebinar, WebEx, Adobe Connect and few others. Or you can hire individuals to run your webinar for you.

Also, there are webinar "how to" courses that show you every step and give you the reasoning behind each one. Make sure you choose a course that has lots of step by step video so you don't get lost. Then turn the course over to your techie person, employee, secretary or teenage kid and have them learn how to setup your webinar!

Next, you have to have a way of recording the webinar so you can show the replay. Let's face it, not everyone will be able to attend your webinar "in person", so you can pick up a few more sales by offering a replay.

Now here's a million dollar tip. Always have a reason to "buy now" in your webinar. Either the sale price is expiring in 48 hours ...or you only have a limited amount of appointments left ...or an extra special bonus will expire at the end of the week ...anything to get them to take action immediately after the webinar.

And that's why you want them "live." A webinar is a live event and you control when they see it and what rewards they get for taking action. That is how a webinar differs from a video they can watch any time they want. Even a webinar replay is released with the understanding that a deadline is looming right around the corner.

And finally, you want to follow up with your webinar attendees. If you ask for full contact information, you can send those that didn't buy a postcard, direct mail piece or even pick up the phone and call them.

Think about how qualified a webinar attendee is ...they just spent 60 minutes listening to you on a webinar.Do you think they are pretty interested in your product or service? All it takes is a nudge to get them to buy.

So, these are a few webinar how to's. Webinars are really not that complicated, and the rewards can be VERY profitable!

Re: New SEO Seminar - Hi Jeff, I see you are holding another Webinar on 16th Feb. I will be in an aeroplane for most of that day, so I guess I won't be able to attend. Even so, could you fill us in with some details about the form and content your webinars take and what they involve. I have not participated in a webinar and I guess I'm not the only one. Thanks!

Re: Eng Lit Academic Site Up For Review - Hi Zac, Thank you for the swift and useful review! You can probably guess that graphics are not my strong point. I will take your comments about the header on board. A tag line is also a great idea. I have installed a Wordpress blog with the aim of making the site more interactive and possibly as a platform for other people's articles and essays. Running a reviewing service is also a nice idea. Much appreciated. Thanks, DH
Re: Most and Least Profitable Businesses to Start - I can say something about the "Least Profitable Businesses to Start" when someone thinks about creating a product before knowing what the market really wants. This happens more often than people realize. People often get trapped into coming up with something it might work but if the market doesn't want that kind of stuff, no matter how innovative the idea may be, it'll turn bad. Like I might be able to come up a way to "... store all of my spam emails into one junk box and keep it stored on the web forever!" -- hey, who wants that kind of stuff.
Never give an excuse - [quote="Sebastien":3d3trrkv]I had an issue once with the Tacone franchise. I called a local location about 5 times and left voicemails every time to have someone call me back because I wanted them to cater a little get together I had. Nobody ever returned my call. I went straight to the website (the franchisor site) and complained that if they were not interested in doing business with me, SubMarina or another sandwich shop would probably be glad to. About an hour later I had a call from the Tacone franchise Area Developer in San Diego, telling me he just took over this territory and he was aware of problems at this particular location. He was really apologetic and knew there was a problem. I thanked him for calling me back so quickly and told him I would probably never buy from them anyways (I am a very snobby customer. When I pay for something, I like to be taken care of). A day later, I get a phone call from the local franchisee (whom I actually knew since we had done business together), explaining how busy he was that he couldn't return my call earlier. I was so chocked! What kind of business is that? I thanked him and told him I will never buy Tacone again. Well, I ended up buying Tacone again because it's so good but I never want back to this one location.[/quote:3d3trrkv] Hi Sebastien, I see where you're coming from and I've stopped going to a particular Kelsey's franchise because of their slow service. We waited more than 50 minutes for our entrees and the manager could only tell us that they were "busy". Well to add to your point, retail expert Doug Fleener says "Profitable Retailers always put the customer first. First before the tasks associated with operating the business. First before profits...First in everything the company does...No one is really interested in how busy you are. In fact, giving an excuse can be insulting. When you say, 'I'm just so busy,' it implies that the other person isn't" ("The Profitable Retailer" 69 & 70). The Tacone franchise you originally called should've arranged for at least someone else to touch base with you if they were too busy themselves to do it or suggested a better time to discuss business.
