Webinar Tools For Creating The Perfect Webinar!

If you would like to host a webinar, there are a few webinar tools you will need to be professional and effective.

Start planning your presentation by creating a webinar set-up sheet. On this sheet, list out the following:

- your webinar OBJECTIVE (sales, a phone appointment, education?)

- the TITLE of your webinar (This should describe the benefit of your webinar to your viewers.)

- what you plan to COVER on your webinar

- your STORY (This is “why” you are qualified to host your webinar.)

- CASE STUDIES (real-life examples of how you, or others you have helped, have been successful with your product or services)

- EDUCATION (This is when you can give them some of your best tips and tricks for their business.)

- ROAD BLOCKS to success (obstacles that will keep them from solving the problem)

- CALL TO ACTION (what do you want them to do? Visit your web site and buy your product or service? Call your office for an appointment? Sign up for a paid webinar class?)

Another webinar tool is a powerpoint template for your webinar ppt. Creating a webinar ppt is easy if you include these items:

-background graphic – Create or have someone else create an appealing, memorable graphic that communicates the message of your webinar. Use it as the background graphic on your master slide.

- your picture – Again on the master slide, insert your picture in the top left corner so that people can identify with you as a person. It also helps the audience to link a face with your voice.

-bullet points that show up when you click your mouse – Go to the “custom animation” option and have each line on your presentation appear when you click your mouse in the master slide.

- call to action url – In the master view, add a url at the top so that the “call to action” is available on each slide. The call to action should lead to a web site where your audience can take an action (buy button, phone number to call, email option form, etc.)

Finally, to set up your webinar, you’ll need these tools:

- webinar hosting – A webinar hosting account lets you present your audio and video to hundreds of people at the same time. A few webinar hosting companies include: GoToWebinar, Manexa, Omnovia, Web Ex and Adobe Connect

- registration web page – You can use the registration page given to you by the webinar hosting company or you can create your own (recommended). Remember to use benefit-driven language to entice them to register for your webinar. “What’s in it for them?”

-an autoresponder – Even after your viewers register, you will want to remind them of the coming webinar. Afterwards, you will definitely want to follow up with each one who attended.

So there you have it! A few webinar tools for creating your webinar. Set up your webinar right and there is no telling how successful your webinar will be!

Host A Webinar – It’s Easier Than You Think!

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.

Be aware that webinar hosting companies will ask your viewers to sign up for your webinar. The company will allow you to decide what kind of information is necessary for this, and here’s a free tip. Ask for FULL CONTACT information because then you can send a reminder email to your viewers on the day of the webinar. You could even give them an automated phone call using VoiceShot. This is pretty amazing!

Another benefit to getting full contact information, especially a mailing address, from your viewers is that you can send a piece of direct mail to gather more sales. If you want, you could even follow-up with a personal phone call in order to make more sales.

In addition to registering your viewers, webinar hosting companies also handle the technology behind your webinar: your computer presentation and your voice, whether by phone or 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.

Start by recording your webinar on a second computer using a software called Camtasia. The second computer takes a spot on your webinar as a “viewer.” Turn on the record button and begin.

As you record, keep the chunks short, only 8 to 10 minutes each. This will help you avoid buffering issues. Save these chunks in a swf format. Camtasia will let you do this and even let you arrange them into an easy-to-read table of contents for replays

So there you have it…host a webinar, conduct a webinar and produce a webinar. It is really not that complicated and can make you a ton of money if you do it right!
