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 Before you can show your information to hundreds of people at the same time, you have to choose a webinar hosting company. There are several including GoToWebinar, Web Ex, Omnovia, Adobe Connect and so on.

Most webinar hosting companies require your attendees to \”register\” for your webinar. You decide how much information you require for the registration, but here is a million dollar tip. If you require FULL CONTACT information, then you can remind your attendees the day of the webinar with an email …or even an automated phone call using VoiceShot. How cool is that!

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!

So a webinar hosting company not only allows you to \”register\” your attendees, they also provide the technology so that your attendees can see your computer screen and hear your voice (either over the phone or by 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.

Be careful with videos. While the sound will come through fine, a full-motion video can fall behind. So your viewers might hear the person talking but not see them moving. As an alternative, you could post a still picture of a successful client or student giving a testimonial, and that can do wonders for your 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.

You will want to separate the recording into 8-10 minute chunks to avoid buffering problems for your viewers and then render the files in swf format. Camtasia allows you to combine these swf files into an attractive table of contents that makes it perfect for replays.

Now you are ready to host, conduct, and product a webinar. If you handle it just riht, you can make a lot of money with very little effort.
