How To Create Impressive Webinars

If you are conscious about your business surroundings, you must have noticed an increase in the number of webinars.  There’s a reason for it – webinars provide an effective and profitable platform for educating customers about the features, benefits and necessity of your products or services. But there are a few tactics of hosting a successful webinar. Before you plan for a webinar, there is one important question that you should ask yourself: “Would my business really have any benefit by educating customers on the benefits of my products or services?” If the answer to this question is yes, then only it’s worth hosting a webinar. Else, it’s just a waste of time and effort.

Attract the attention

Try to catch the attention of your audience at the very outset of a webinar. The audience likes to know their take away from the webinar. Remember to state very clearly the objective of the webinar right at its beginning. This will not only make the audience attentive but will also help you to get the right group of people for whom your products or services are relevant.

Marketing using new tactics

After you have stated the take away from the webinar, do not just start with the products/services. Try to develop an engaging story that will follow the opening statement. Do not only recite a chain of events rather try to create a presentation. Develop the events in the story in such a way that your products and services easily become a part of it. It is better if you can spin the events in such a way that your products/services become an obvious remedy for the problems presented in the story.

Practice makes a man perfect

An effective webinar is a combination of planning and presentation. A lot of people forget the second part. They plan for a perfect webinar but they also should be able to host it properly. Presenting a webinar is often more important than planning. If you fumble in the middle of a webinar, you are sure to lose audience’s attention. Practice several time before you actually conduct a webinar. Practice aloud.

Switch to automated webinars

Hosting a webinar is a tiresome job. You need to check your internet connection, electricity connection, laptop or desktop (on which you are going to host the webinar). Yet at the right moment, something may go wrong and you have absolutely no control over it – the internet may stop working or your laptop crashes. Situations like this actually can ruin a webinar. You need to create a backup for everything or you can switch over to automated webinars.

Be confident

Another important factor is you should sound confident throughout the webinar. You should not stumble or hesitate during the webinar. If you wish to sell your product or service through the webinar, it is necessary to sound confident. Your hesitation can create a negative impact on the audience. For a better or prompt effect you can add a bonus at the end of the session – a discount for those people who buy/book through the webinar.

Provide contact information

It is also better to provide contact information at the end of a webinar. So, if somebody is interested in learning more about your products and services, they can contact you directly.

5 Reasons for Using an Automated Webinar

If you are serious about growing an online business and making it successful, you cannot afford to miss using automated webinars. Not taking advantage of this new technology means allowing a business to lose its competitive edge and fall out of competition.  Making an online business successful is not easy in today’s time; you need to consider every possible option and webinar automation is one that you should not overlook. Following are five benefits of using the webinar automation service:

An automated webinar allows you to run events automatically and generate additional revenue. You can use your old webinar or seminar for setting up an auto webinar and it can function as a continuous stream of additional income. It is also quite easy to set up. Your auto webinars will be set up and ready for use within minutes.

For customers and visitors, it looks and feels like a live webinar. You actually do not participate in these webinars because they recorded earlier and played at scheduled intervals providing customers more information. Any number of customers/viewers can watch these presentations while you are away busy in some meeting or discussion. The number of visitors/customers is not limited in this kind of webinar.

The automated webinars can be an excellent source for marketing your products.  You can create a presentation on each of the products/services and can upload it to the website to be played on a predetermined schedule.  Share this link on your blogs and every other form of resources and customers can have an additional info about products/services they are looking for.  You can also use old presentations on the auto webinars and it will create an impression of a live webinar.  Instead of just discarding the old presentations and business advertising collateral you can them it to create an additional source of money.

New visitors or customers looking for more information will enjoy an auto webinar. It is more interactive and hence more engaging. The effect of this auto webinar is enormous both to customers and businesses because it creates longer lasting effects on customers, which in turn can build longer relationships. And after all, business is all about the relationships you share with customers.  Research shows that customers get engaged almost instantly in a webinar and that expedites their decision to make a purchase.

These webinars run automatically! Yes, automatically. You just set it up once and it will run automatically forever – or until you set an end date. Automation is perhaps the biggest factor for the success of these webinars. The attendees have to sign up for a specific day and time and that is when they can see/hear the presentation. They do not know it’s pre-recorded. They experience it as if it is live. Typically there’s a call to action within the screen they are viewing and they have an option for requesting more information or to purchase something.

Every online business entrepreneur is eager to leverage the benefits from this new technology. Though automated webinars are particularly important for online businesses, any business can use them for its benefit.
