Webinar 101
Jan 11, 2019
This blog post is a culmination of knowledge cramming a few articles into one :-) Webinars are so amazing!!! Here's a bit about why... and how they work!
What is a Webinar? Simply put it is a seminar, conducted over the internet. The program I use, is Webinarjam :-)
Webinar Overview:
*Purpose of Webinars:
1) Grow Your Email List (people enter emails to sign up)
2) Webinars Convert (email conversion is usually: 2-3%, posts under 1%, webinars when done right can be 30-40%)
3) Build Relationships
4) Make you the expert (answer questions and share knowledge)
5) Grow your brand
6) Interact with your audience (foster a relationship)
7) Re-useable video content! You can do an evergreen webinar to continuously run (money machine), sell the webinar video itself, use it for posts/campaigns, upload to youtube (to build your brand/content).
Webinar Prep:
Goal: 80% share knowledge 20% Selling
1. Define Your Webinar:
-What product are you selling?
2. Target Audience? What Problem do they need solved?
3. Create an Amazing Title that hooks your audience, any additional text, should talk about the outcome they desire (or problem solved).
Webinar Basic Outline:
1) Brief Introduction/Background
2) Your Personal Story (make it relatable) "I have been there..." talk about your audiences problems and frustrations.
3) Tell Your audience what 3-4 things you will be teaching <-- get to this point quickly
4) Present Your Product (ie: online course) and offer (make it limited time, need sense of urgency) (ie: course value at over $1,499, selling for $249, today get it for $179!! don't miss out, expires in 48 hours)
5) Q&A at the end, for people to ask questions
*tips: Prepare a handout or worksheet they can fill out while on webinar to guide them along.
Create great slides, offer value!
