5 Tips For Holding a Great Technical Writing Webinar

March 27th, 2009
This is a good article that gives you some insight into how to hold a webinar for a target audience of technical writers.  Technical writing has its own characteristics, needs and issues that need to be addressed.  The thing about this article is that you can also apply all of these tips to most any target audience as well, whether it be dentists, sales professionals, or personal development coaches.  These are good tips all around.
Pay attention to the following 5 suggestions if you’d like to hold a successful technical writing webinar:
1) Do not rush your technical writing or product presentation even if you are used to speaking at a machine gun pace. There might be people in your audience with hearing problems, international participants who do not know your language that well, or there might be a technical problem with the way your voice is transmitted across the line.

How do you know if you’re talking too fast? JUST ASK and your audience will tell you gladly if you are speaking too fast (or too slow) or not.

2) If you have a hard-to-understand heavy regional accent, either ask someone else with a standard accent to give the presentation, or SLOW down and periodically check with your audience to make sure they are following what you are saying.

If you just assume that your accent is understood clearly by those on the line, you might be making a wrong assumption and wasting everybody’s time and your company’s money.

3) If you provide the means (usually a GUI text field with a SUBMIT button at the bottom) for your audience to send you questions, answer them. If you are not in a position to answer the questions, then do not provide the means to submit any questions. Otherwise you’ll be speaking to a frustrated audience and frustrated people don’t follow or buy anything. It just makes plain sense, doesn’t it?

4) Always make it painfully clear well in advance WHAT you will exactly cover in your presentation, for WHOM the presentation was designed, and what are the PREREQUISITES to follow the presentation fruitfully.

Make all these three points very clear in your advance emails in order to prevent unnecessary surprises. There is nothing more annoying than a fast-talking presenter showing you things on a piece of software that you do not even own and explaining a topic that is well beyond your education or expertise level.

5) Inform you audience before, during, and after the presentation whether the recording of the session, any presentation notes, PDF files or white-paper will be available to the participants. That way you won’t leave them in suspense and prevent unnecessary emails and phone calls to your organization.

A webinar is a great way to share knowledge and to market your products and services. But when handled poorly it can backfire and damage your image and business as well. There is no such thing as a fool-proof presentation “on the automatic.”

All webinars need careful advance work and a thoughtful presentation which is in touch with the audience. If you follow these 5 recommendations above your job might get just a bit easier. Good luck.

Conducting a Webinar – Best Practices

March 10th, 2009

This is a good article for getting a basic guide for webinar management.  If you are looking for some good webinar training tips, this is a good article to start with because it gives you the basics on what you need to know.  A great reference to follow up this article with would be this book called “6 Weeks to a Great Webinar”.  It discusses in step by step detail what you need to do to conduct a successful webinar.

Conducting a webinar is no different than conducting a face-to-face seminar when it comes to presenting the material. The method of interaction will be different and there will be differences in the fact that you are not face to face with your audience so you may not be able to judge as well the various aspects of their personalities or understanding. This makes it difficult to alter the presentation in the middle to accommodate the atmosphere of the audience. There are a few things that you will need in order to conduct a webinar. These are host, content, features and price. When looking at a host you want to make sure that you are going with a host that is going to be able to grow with your business but that is not so far advanced that individuals without the latest technology will be unable to get on. You want to make sure that your webinar is open to anyone who may be in your target group. For example, if you are doing a webinar on the latest technological features of a network application you are going to have clients with a different level of technology than if you are delivering a webinar on how to effectively cook a five-course meal and still maintain a casual entertainment atmosphere. In one instance you are dealing with technical savvy people who may have access to the latest in computers. In the other you are dealing with individuals who may be ordinary home users and may be working with older equipment. Features are also need to be considered. You may want to look into these options when looking into your host. However, there are individuals who conduct webinars while using outside resources such as instant message or separate phone conferencing features. Considering if you want to include these in your host or use separate services is something to look into when deciding how to conduct your webinar. The content is the most important aspect of your webinar. You want your content to be informative, to flow from topic to topic in a smooth and related manner. The presentation should be designed for your target audience and be done in a way that engages your audience. Webinars are interactive so you may want to include spaces for questions if you get into areas where questions are possible to accommodate your viewers. Price is one of the most important things to look into. Hosts all have different ways of pricing and you should consider which option is going to provide you with the most benefit and the least expense. Overall webinars are exceptionally cost effective when compared to similar situations in face-to-face seminars Conducting a webinar can be a great way to get the information you want present out to your audience. It is important that you look into the various factors and research prior to launching your webinar. This will help to ensure that the webinar you are conducting provides the most benefit to not only you but those you are presenting too.
