Recession proof your business with teleseminars

Why is it that some people are thriving during these uncertain economic times, while others are struggling? Chances are those that are doing well have diversified their revenue streams; especially on the Internet.

It’s amazing how many ways there are to legitimately make money on the Internet. You can sell eBooks, eReports, coaching service, teleseminars and more.

One of my favorite (and most profitable) are teleseminars. Teleseminars are basically training sessions that are delivered over the telephone or through a webcast. As technology has improved, teleseminars have become one of the most preferred ways to conduct business training or promoting products and services.

There are many benefits of teleseminars but the most important one is that participants do not have to commute. You can host or take part in teleseminars from virtually anywhere -- home, office or even halfway across the world. And you can generate great revenues.


Benefits of Teleseminars:

You do not have to leave your office to join a training program. Unlike traditional training courses where you had to consider travel time in the mix, you hardly have any disruption of your day. All you need to do is be right in front of your telephone or computer with fast and reliable Internet connection (with Skype or VOiP) at the scheduled time.

As mentioned earlier, you do not need to travel. Therefore, you have a lot of time at hand to complete other tasks or prepare for the teleseminar. The stress involved with traveling and reaching the venue on time is taken away.

The cost of hosting or participating in a teleseminar is extremely cost efficient compared to other methods of training or promoting a business.

Most teleseminars range from 30 - 90 minutes. This means that they are extremely focused and you can get a lot of relevant information that you can immediately put into practice.

Most teleseminars have a Q and A session. Participants can get instant solutions to certain issues that occur in a business scenario. Based on other people's experiences, you learn which pitfalls should be avoided.

One of the major drawbacks of teleseminars is being a participant on one where the featured speaker is not engaging and uses jargon throughout the call. Keep things simple and you can make it work.

Kathie from Melbourne, Australia - Hello everyone, I've been a contributing author for quite sometime with Evan Carmichael but only recently became aware of this forum - I didn't know it existed. I'm a mother of 5 daughters and wife of Graham. We live in Melbourne, Australia. My business was begun early 1994 fulltime from home so I could be here with our girls as they were growing up. I began a homebased secretarial business which became a Virtual Assistant business and network as the internet took hold in the business world. Today I manage a network of VAs in 15 countries. Blogging became the perfect outlet for me as I'm an avid writer so I write several blogs, have authored some books as well and periodically do articles for printed publications and online ezines and newsletters. Finally I've recently entered the speaking 'circuit' speaking at conferences, seminars and teleseminars, mainly in Australia but have begun to do a few teleseminars and radio shows for the US. I've just been asked to do my first 'physical presence' conference in Canada in 2009 which I am quite excited about.
Re: Internet of the future. - I agree that many people won't acknowledge some situations until and unless it affects them personally. It seems obvious to me that there is a global warming crisis - but how many educated people who have plenty of proof in their hands are denying there is a problem? If you can have the proof and deny something that huge - how easy would it be to deny other things? Chris
Re: 12-Step Foolproof Sales Letter Template - This type of gimmickry might work in the quick hit consumer or internet marketing world, but do you really think this is going to help when you are selling to decision makers at a business? The full proof sales letter in the business world contains: 1. A quote from a customer that achieved results 2. Direct knowledge of the person you are reaching out to 3. A call to action that can give them the option of seeing how your offering makes a difference. This is a simple sauce that makes for great sales dishes.
Teleclasses - I've taken some teleclasses and they can be very effective. A good teacher makes a world of difference too. The flexibility and being able to share ideas with people from a variety of areas is great for brainstorming. I've also been in some of those free teleseminars where you get teaser info - while they hope you'll buy the expensive courses. All useful and open a world of possibilities for people who can't afford the money or time to travel to conferences and classes. ChrisH
Re: Theft in my Store!!! - Hi Tonyguy, I know exactly how you feel after my car was stolen, I know who stole it but have no proof. Like Oscar I suggest security cameras, it may cost you somr money but it will save you much more.
