Teleseminars - do you know which to offer your market?

Many people utilize teleseminars to market their products and services as well as sell on the backend. By far, teleseminars are one of the greatest tools available to accomplish both.

Unfortunately, many people set about to launch a teleseminar without a solid plan in place. One of the first considerations (beyond who your market is) would be to determine what type of teleseminar to offer.

Some of the different types are:

* Preview calls
* FAQ calls
* Expert interviews
* Paid sessions
* Free sessions
* Corporate trainings
* Open to the public
* Private sessions
* Membership benefit sessions
* Affiliate training calls

Many experts prefer a preview call as a way to introduce paid teleseminar programs as well as an introduction to their other products and services.

A preview call is just what it sounds like. People get a taste of what a paid course will be about.

However, to have a successful preview call, you need listeners, a content driven call and a plan on what you will be selling on the backend.

Regardless of the type of teleseminar you host or participate in, many of the steps to create and develop one will be similar. However, how you promote a session is determined by whether it is open to the public, free, fee based or used as an added value tool for existing clients.

Re: need pricing help please - here's my opinion that was derived from the person I heard it from (Russell Brunson) I view internet Marketing products as a Ladder. At the bottom of the Ladder is ebooks and at the top is One on One Coaching. so the ladder would look like this starting from the Top ($$$) to Bottom($) One-to-One Coaching ($$$$$$) Workshops ($$$$$) Teleseminars ($$$$) Video($$$) Audio ($$) ebooks ($) I agree with this methodology mainly because of the convenience factor and value from the customers point of view.
Re: Some free advertisment opp - That is a very generous offer, indeed. What niche market does your website appeal to? How much traffic does it get per day?
Determine Your Target - Ramon - Congratulations on your new venture. First priority is to make a list of the people and businesses who are your target market. Who needs your product or service? Make a list of the things you can offer them. They need to understand the value of your service. Once you have a clear idea of who needs your product and what you have to offer, then you can begin to promote effectively to the right people. Promoting to people who have no use for your product or service or who don't have the authority to make a decision - is a waste of your time and money. One last thing - when you determine your target market - narrow down the options. For example - if you sold a product that could be used for computers, its not good enough to say your target is any computer owner. Would it be best for residential or commercial use? Is it better for teens or adults? Is it better for beginners or more experienced computer owners? Do small businesses or large businesses need your product? The more precise your answers are, the more successful your efforts will be. Shri
General Guidelines to sale - Without knowing more about your market, company, products, etc. all I can do is provide a general answer. Determine who is your ideal prospects, craft an offer or two that you believe, based on information you have about your market, company, prospects, etc., these ideal prospects will respond favorably to and then deliver the message. Methods of message delivery might include telephone calls, in-person visits, mail/email, advertising, etc. Does that help?
Start off strategy - What so far or do you foresee being your biggest objection to your target market? If it is price offer a two for one deal, to start off. Or a trial size. I got a trial size of 303 cleaner for my boat and although it is at least twice as expensive as any other product I have seen it works twice as well so I pay the expense. If customers question effectiveness of your product then offer a money back guarantee. Also don't forget your testimonials. One other idea is a contest to find the toughest stain removed by your product. This can help the company sell more products down the road.
