Webinars are not as hard as they look if you know a few webinar how to tips … and they can absolutely skyrocket your online or offline business. In fact, webinars convert attendees into buyers at a rate of 10% – 30%. Got your attention? Great, then let’s see what you need to host your own profitable webinar.
The first webinar how to is creating a killer powerpoint presentation. You have to walk the tight-rope of giving enough content so that your attendees will feel that it is worth their time and attention, but you must also create a hunger for more.
Let’s face it. You can NOT teach all there is to know about your topic in a 60-minute presentation. And your attendees can not learn all they need to know in order to be successful from a 60-minute presentation. So, you owe it to them (and yourself) to offer “continuing education” at the end of your webinar. That continuing education can be in the form of a book, a service or a home study course – whatever you are offering.
So as you create your presentation, keep this balance in mind: give great content but leave something to be desired, and that will motivate your attendees to come back.
The second webinar how to step is finding a webinar hosting platform. There are a variety of webinar hosting solutions for all types of budgets. Choosing the right one for you depends on how you will use it. If you plan on having a lot of people at the same time (over 1000), a pay per attendee per minute may be the way to go.
However, if you will have fewer attendees (less than 1000) and lots of webinars per month, choose to pay a monthly flat rate. Since most of the webinar hosting companies offer almost identical options, you will pay based on the size of your webinar and frequency of use.
The third webinar how to step is inviting people to your webinars. Once you have your webinar ppt created and chosen a company to host your webinar, now you need to think about who to invite to your webinar.
The best place to start is your existing email list. But what if you don’t have an email list? Now you know better! Lucky for you there are companies that can help you build this list. If you give them your customers’ physical addresses, they can return an email list to you.
After your own email list, visit blogs, forums and Yahoo Groups that cater to your target market. Write a content-driven post or answer a question, then leave the webinar invitation in your signature. Other places to find attendees for your webinar are facebook, twitter, Google buzz, squidoo and myspace. In fact, announce your webinar in all the social media places and even submit an online press release.
Finally, remember your affiliates. You can work out reciprocal arrangements with your partners and even your competitiors. This will especially be popular if you show them what is in it for them. You could give them a portion of the sales or even set up a webinar where you share subscribers lists.
These three webinar how to steps are crucial for planning and hosting your webinars. None of these steps are particularly challenging; they simply require a bit of planning and execution. Follow through, and you will see your sales explode like never before.
