Having a great and profitable teleseminar is the point of hosting one in the first place. Using these strategies will make sure yours is as good as it can be! These are in no particular order, but should be arranged in a logical order to you.

Product selection is pivotal!

Choosing the product you are going to sell on your teleseminar is your first major step. After that it will probably fall in line. Considering you have many spin off products from the ebook, let us just say that your product will be an ebook for this example.

Hosting is a biggie too!

Once you have chosen your product you can move onto the more technical aspects of your teleseminar. Hosting is one major consideration in the process. There are several paid hosting sites, but I would go with a free service like thebasementventures.com. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for, and with the paid services you get a really good set of options and things you can change, but we are going to assume you have a small budget. Once you have chosen your hosting service, now you can focus on your auto-responder.

Do not forget your auto-responder!

Using an auto-responder to help manage and market your service is absolutely vital to your success as a teleseminar marketer. Not only will the auto-responder continually build your list of attendees automatically, but it will allow to you communicate tempting offers and incentives prior to it, which continually established communication and builds anticipation for your teleseminar. You can build your list through a web page that will give all the details and convince people to attend, and they register through the embedded form on your page.

Additionally, the auto-responder is the way that they will receive the information that will allow them to log onto the teleseminar and you may want to include a reminder at the bottom of each contact you send them with that information.

A little more about your squeeze and sales pages

You want to make sure that your squeeze page and your sales pages add value to your product. Now, I know that you will basically be using your teleseminar as your sales pages, but do not miss out on ancillary sales that direct traffic may bring you by not having a valid sales page up. Also, you will be driving the people who attend the teleseminar to purchase from your sales page, so you have to have it up anyway for that.

Your sales page needs to briefly cover similar information that will be presented in your teleseminar, the biggest difference should be the bonuses that attendees will get from you. You should always make attending your teleseminar more alluring than just reading the sales page so that people are enticed to buy while attending.

The final detail may be the most important detail

The day of the week that you plan your teleseminar may be as important as any other detail. If you plan your teleseminar for 4 AM Eastern time, you can bet you will have very few attendees, so logically the time of day should be early evening, when most people are not at work. Even after 8 PM works for many people. Planning your teleseminar for the middle part of the week seems to be the most successful timing window. Plan your event for a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evening and you will have more people attend.

The basic techniques and strategies are the same ones that the most successful Internet marketers use to sell and market their own products, but also any products they are affiliates for.

So you’ve decided to host a teleseminar. That’s great!

Before you host your event it’s a good idea to take a deeper look into what can go wrong and how to handle it. There are many issues you can have at a teleseminar that range from technical details to problem attendees to self-imposed problems.

Here are 10 common problems that occur during teleseminars and how to quickly handle them.

1. Your conference call in line isn’t working – Let’s just tackle one of the most difficult issues first. From time to time the conference call lines have down time, glitches or some unknown issue. The first thing to do is find out as much information as you can to see if only one person or multiple people are having a problem. Then work quickly to resolve it. You may need to quickly switch lines, call customer service or host the call at another time.

2. Background noise – A very common problem on teleseminars is that guests call in with background noise. This is very distracting to the speaker and listeners. A good solution to this is to use the conference call lines mute button to mute out the entire line while speaking and then open it up again when you have discussion or questions.

3. Latecomers – Depending on how casual or formal your call is latercomers may or may not disrupt your call. The best thing to do here is again to mute out the line so late guests can’t interrupt and ask to be caught up.

4. Distractions – If you work from home distractions are everywhere. The baby might wake up, the phone might ring, there might be a knock at the door. Make sure to prepare for all possible distractions.

5. Conference recording doesn’t work – I’ve been hosting my own events sometimes when the conference recording doesn’t work. The best way to fix this and avoid having to re-record your entire event is to have a back up recording. If you use a free conference call line to create your teleseminar you will possibly have a free recording available with the service. I would use that as well as a backup program like Audio Acrobat.

6. Speaker doesn’t show – Make sure you confirm with your speakers at least one week before (if you scheduled well in advance) as well as a few hours before the call. Don’t let it slip their mind!

7. Guests don’t show – What if you schedule a teleseminar and you get sign ups but no one actually shows up. If you have promised to get a recording out to your guests do the call anyway as if people were there. No matter what you’ll now have a valuable recording to get out to your target market.

8. Tired voice – If you will be talking for a while you may start to notice your voice getting tired and your through getting dry. Avoid this by having a glass of water on your desk to sip in between talking.

9. Guest interruptions – You may have guests who are overly excited about your topic or genuinely disagree with you and fee they must voice their opinion. If it is time for conversations or questions then by all means allow it but if you are on a schedule and need to move on just reply quickly and tell them you must move on out of respect for all the guests so you can get all the information covered.

10. Forgetting what you’re talking about – Everyone gets nervous from time to time but what you don’t want to do is go completely off track. The best way to have a completely natural flow to your teleseminar is to be prepared. Know what you want to talk about and create point form notes to cover as you go.

There you have 10 common problems with teleseminars. Don’t let these issues scare you away! Now you’ll be even more prepared and ready to tackle any issue that comes up before anyone even notices it’s happened.

Now I’d like to invite you to come learn the ins and outs of setting up your own teleseminar. If you love to connect with people and talk with your potential customers then hosting teleseminars will be a perfect match for you.

Raising Perceived Value and Your Teleseminar Price Tag – Ecademy

But if you can share the mistakes that you’ve made, to save your audience the time and grief that can come when they make those same mistakes, you will increase the perceived value of your teleseminar. • Save your audience some time. …

Publish Date: 05/23/2010

Teleseminars are a great way to connect with an audience. But what do you do if no one takes you up on your invitation? Read on for a sneaky solution.

Okay, so you think you need people on the other side of the line when you have a teleseminar. Sure, that would be great, but what do you do if no one shows up? Do you have to reschedule your teleseminar.

Absolutely not. You definitely don’t want to fess up and say no one was there and that’s why you want to reschedule.

Instead, relax!

First of all, not everyone actually opens the lines to let the other people on the line talk. All you have to do is pretend you’re simply not opening the lines, and talk away at your imaginary audience.

You can also make up questions… Imagine you have some specific regulars, and create questions for them. Then pretend they came in via the typed interface in Instant Teleseminar. “Ah, Sally from Newport News has a question about…”

Besides, you can set up teleseminars anytime you like, and just talk away. Those can be useful in a number of ways:

1) You can create podcast products

2) You can create audio ebooks by reading ebooks, yours or PLR ebooks

3) You can have your audios transcribed and turned into articles and ebooks

4) You can give them away

5) You can use them as bonuses and make your products more valuable.

4) And more…

Seriously, no one will care whether there was anyone on the other side if the information is great. In fact, some people I know actually re-record their teleseminar if they felt the original version didn’t sound good.

But here’s something you need to watch out for.

I’m using instant teleseminar, and it’s a piece of cake to record your own teleseminar anytime you want, with or without an audience.

But there are other teleseminar companies that actually play music until the second person comes on. So you really have to watch out.

If you’re on there talking and your listeners hang up on you, the music will start! This is to be avoided.

So what can you do? Dial in from a second phone and let it just sit there during your teleseminar.

You can do that as a precaution, to keep the music from starting in case everyone hangs up. That way, you won’t have to re-do the teleseminar.

At the same time, if you want to create an audio product, you also need to make the music stop. So just call in from that other line, and you’ll be good to go.

5 Teleseminar Secrets to Making More Money

If you’re not quite sure what teleseminars are and why they are important, the key thing to know is that they work extremely well. A teleseminar is essentially hosting a “seminar” over the phone. The beauty about a teleseminar is that …

Publish Date: 06/11/2010

“Aren’t teleseminars being superseded by webinars?”

This is a reasonable question. A webinar, in case you’re not sure, is a seminar that people listen to and watch on the web, via their computer, while a teleseminar involves listening only, via the telephone or computer.

Webinars have numerous disadvantages in comparison to teleseminars:

* Increased preparation time. For a webinar, you need to prepare visuals as well as what you’ll say. Generally there is a Powerpoint-style accompaniment to the talking that must be organized, written and polished ahead of time. If you use photographs or other graphics instead of bulleted summaries of your points, those still must be prepared. The recommended guideline is about one slide per one minute of presentation. That means 60 slides are needed for a one-hour webinar, or a bit fewer if you’re planning a question-and-answer session at the end. For me, webinars take five to ten times as much preparation time as teleseminars.

* Added costs. Webinars require a reliable hosting service that you need to pay for. Some high-quality teleseminar vendors, however, are free.

* Technology barriers. People who have dialup service or Satellite Internet usually cannot participate in webinars. Some corporate folks can’t join a webinar because of their company firewall. And serious technical glitches are multiple times more common with webinars than teleseminars.

* Computer dependency. Participants must be at a computer to access a webinar. If you expect people to participate from the office, this is not a problem. If you target a consumer audience, webinars are less of a fit. Unless you convert a completed webinar to an audio-only presentation, a recorded webinar likewise can’t be accessed in the car or while running or walking as a teleseminar can.

* Bigger learning curve. The last two times I participated in webinar-based conferences, I was required to take part in a one-hour training session first, so I would understand how to operate the controls while presenting. For me, having to simultaneously think about moving the slides and giving my talk makes a webinar much more stressful than a teleseminar. I’m still tense giving a webinar, even after more than a dozen times. The interface is so much simpler for running a teleseminar that only a short run-through is needed, if that, for a first-timer to feel relaxed while presenting.

Webinars do have some advantages over teleseminars:

* Visuals. For teaching how to do something, or for keeping the audience engaged in more than one perceptual channel, webinars rule.

* Higher tech. As the question implied, webinars appear more “advanced” than teleseminars. In some markets this is a significant plus.

* Bells and whistles. One webinar I led last year incorporated real-time polling of the audience. It was very cool to be able to ask a question and get participants’ instant answers. That’s not available with most teleseminar systems.

To make the right decision between these two modes of presentation, think about the subject matter you are teaching, the expectations of your audience, their technology setup, whether it’s a work or non-work presentation, your budget and your own comfort level with the two types of technology.

Good luck with your teaching program!

A list of teleseminar services and equipment:

Teleseminars are an innovative way to get massive amounts of people on the telephone line and give a mini-seminar. The equipment needed for teleseminars are critical to make it successful. The following is a list of basic equipment to get started:

• Telephone – This sounds simple enough. The best is to have a corded land line telephone to connect to the wall. Uniden and Motorola have great corded telephones that provide quality sound. You can use a cordless phone or cell phone, but the reception may not be the best.
• Bridge Line – A bridge line is a telephone line that holds different amounts of people. It bridges the speaker and the participants together. There is a wide variety of bridge lines out there. You can use a simple bridge line provided by InstantTeleseminar.com or rent a bridge line through companies such as BlackandWhite.com or rentabridge.com. These companies have many qualities lines from small to large groups.

Optional Equipment:

• Headset – A headset will keep your hands free during the call. You will not have to hold the phone to your ear. Just like the phone, a corded headset such as GN Netcom is better since it does not create the static or poor quality such as a cordless headset.
• Recording Equipment – A quality microphone is not necessary. You can use a computer microphone and headset for your recording. You will get better quality with a studio microphone though such as Audio Technica microphone.
• Recording Software – Audacity is a great software that is free for recording your teleseminars. You can upgrade to Sony Soundforge for more features if needed. If you are using a MAC computer, Garage Band is included in most of the MAC models. All the softwares are easy to learn through the help menu.

With simple and easy equipment, you can create quality teleseminars instantly.

“Should I charge more for those who attend my live seminar than those who buy the recording?”

The answer depends on your primary purpose for presenting teleseminars. Here are two pricing models I strongly recommend, each for a different situation.

Pricing Model #1 works well when you are publicizing your seminar beyond your own list, where you hope to entice new people to opt-in so you can sell them on a certain product, service or paid event.

Offer the live teleseminar at no charge, with a nominal charge (such as $20) for the MP3 or CD recording. This encourages those who can to attend the live session, while it also gives you access to those who cannot attend. You need the live attendees so you have informational exchanges during the seminar, avoiding the monotony of a lecture.

People exposed to your knowledge and personality for an entire hour, either on the phone or on their audio player, then feel they know you and become receptive to a related follow-up offer.

I have used this model successfully numerous times as a lead generator for my copywriting mentoring program. The $20 charge for the recording usually brought in a few hundred dollars, and it may have also increased the perceived value of the live session for those who called in at no charge.

Colleagues of mine successfully use this model for a teleconference with numerous sessions or a longish series of related sessions. Attendance at the live calls costs nothing, but you can buy recordings of all the sessions for a fee like $97. As with the single-session arrangement, the free option generates good will among attendees while the paid option generates income that makes the effort financially worthwhile.

Use Pricing Model #2 when you have something new and valuable for those who have already opted in to your list.

Here, charge a single price for your content (such as $37 or $49) whether people attend live or listen to the recording. For the one price, your buyers get both access to the live session and the recording.

In this case, buyers are not in “get to know you” mode but rather are primed to learn. Your session provides a substantive educational event on a specialized topic. You go into your subject matter in more depth than you would with Pricing Model #1.

I used Model #2 in November 2009 when I interviewed a business attorney on what marketers should do about new Federal Trade Commission regulations that were about to go into effect the next month. This was information some people on my list were strongly motivated to learn about.

When I run a multi-session teleseminar course, I use this model as well, emphasizing to registrants that it doesn’t matter whether or not they can fit the live sessions into their schedule. Within a day after each class, they receive the download address for its audio, and at the conclusion of the course, they receive all the recordings bound in a CD album they can keep on their shelf for future reference. This arrangement raises the perceived value of the course while eliminating objections based on scheduling or time available.

Teleseminars can be a crucial marketing tool for service professionals. One advantage: If nobody shows up, all is not lost…if you have the right set-up. Teleseminars are part of your online marketing presence, which means you get to be in several places at once and if everything goes wrong, you still haven’t lost everything.

When you promote yourself at a live event, you absolutely positively need an audience. You’re publicly on display. When your audience doesn’t appear, it’s pretty obvious.

And you just get one shot at your audience. One year I was invited to speak at an event in Tucson, Arizona, while l was living in New Mexico. On the day of my talk, an internationally known speaker was scheduled at the same time I was due to speak. Members of the group that invited me were divided. Many of them wanted to hear the other speaker and who could blame them? I did too.

To make matters worse, Tucson experienced a rare day of rain on my scheduled speech day. In Seattle, my audience might say, “Rain? Big deal.” In Arizona, rain can be disastrous, because roads wash out and create hazardous driving conditions. Anyway, a lot of people just stay home and never learn to drive in the rain. Frankly, that’s what I wanted to do, too.

My day was almost completely lost. I did make friends among the few who showed up. The host took me out to dinner at a nice place. But once the day was over in many ways…and I couldn’t be rescheduled for a long, long time.

Flash forward to teleseminars.

Rain? Snow? Who cares? If you want to be there, you don’t have to leave your home office.

Best of all, if nobody shows up, it’s not a big deal. You can still come away with a profitable experience. Here’s how.

(1) You control your audience’s perceptions.

These days most hosts do not open the lines. It’s dangerous: even if lots of people are listening, often they won’t want to talk. And if they do talk, you never know what they will. Therefore, nobody will know if you’ve got one person or a hundred.

(2) Your audience gets to be in two (or three or four) places at once.

So your closest competitor offers a big talk the same night you want to make your big pitch? No problem. Offer the call as a replay to your list. These days, most people listen via replay.

While some experts claim you get most sales from live events, my experience is different. I get most sales after the event and from the replay.

(3) You get to leverage your creativity. Write up what you said as an ebook. Often the energy of the call pulls out ideas you didn’t know you had.

Teleseminars increasingly are becoming an essential component of your professional, profitable online presence. After all, these days online marketing is more about creating a fabulous online presence than about just building a website.

You can create passive residual income with teleseminars. I like passive, residual income, but guess what? Passive, residual branding is more powerful. That’s because it’s longer term and has more impact. And you can create passive residual branding in 3 easy steps.

3 Easy Steps

Step One – Conduct a teleseminar – Choose a topic in your niche and deliver good solid information that your listeners can take action on immediately.

Step Two – Record the teleseminar – This is so much easier to do than it used to be. Most teleseminar hosting companies will do this for you for free or for a fee, or you can do it yourself on your own computer.

Step Three - Offer the replay – Make the replay available to your list of listeners. In this way hundreds of people can listen long after the call is over.

Passive Residual Branding

Passive, residual branding is what teleseminars can do for you through your replay. The audio version of a telseminar training can be listened to hundreds even thousands of times, because of passive, residual branding. This type of branding is really a new concept as a result of teleseminars.

Branding strictly with income is a zero sum game, meaning when I give you a dollar, you have a dollar and I’ve lost a dollar. But with the right kind of branding and if I’m branded and so are you, we both have a brand that keeps expanding and amplifying.

Branding is not a zero sum game. It amplifies and get’s bigger. Entire careers have changed because of branding. You can do it now with teleseminars.

It’s been proven by thousands of marketers that the best time for a paid teleseminar is during the day on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, such as 10:00 am Pacific or at night on a Monday around 5:00 or 6:00 pm.

Why do a training that’s paid on a Monday?

Most marketers don’t promote on that day and your students have already paid for the call, so they’re going to make that call if they paid for it.

That uses up your Monday, which is a great day to give up for a teleseminar. Another great reason is because it gives the most amount of time between Monday and Friday. Friday is the best day to have the FAQ calls if it’s a teleseminar series.

If you do your teleseminar on Monday night, then by Wednesday you can have the replay available where people can listen to it. Then on Friday do the Q&A because they’ve had time to listen to the audio. We suggest Fridays at 10:00 am, because it gives people more time to sleep in.

Generally for teleseminars you can teach during the day, but save promotional calls for evening. Tuesday and Wednesday is good for paid teleseminars, because if you have a Thursday free promotional call you’ll have a very busy Thursday.

Q&A calls on Friday

Offering a separate Q&A call on Fridays is ideal because people can listen to the teaching call once or twice and gather their questions. You can even have them submit questions ahead of time and you can cover the most common questions that are coming up. Be sure to save time for spontaneous questions from your callers too.
