teleseminar — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:49:45 +0000

In this article on webinar software, the author discusses what kind of features you should look for when you are deciding upon a webinar solution. This article is good in giving you a basic overview of what web conferencing software can do for you.

Webinar is the short form for Web Seminar. Businesses are becoming more dynamic with the kind of latest technologies and software applications helping them to spread their wings across the globe. Webinars and web conferencing are today’s most effective multimedia business tools for global businesses for conducting business presentations, demonstrations or offering training to a worldwide audience.

Webinar software plays a vital role in the success of business meetings with the power of global reach. These systems work efficiently with unmodified the web browsers and servers as they are easily accessible to the millions of web and the intranet users. Created as a groupware in the initial stages the forum software focused mainly on group discussion, scheduling and for sharing documents.

Till recently online meetings and collaborations used to be expensive due to the expensive webinar tools and the bandwidth limitations and its complexities. Now the webinar software system has become versatile being able to integrate all the communication technologies and software that combine audio, video, text and other forms of live interaction.

What to look for in webinar software

1. The software must be able to support operating systems like Windows or Unix. Macintosh servers offer limited choices. The software should be compatible with other environments.

2. Browser support is also an essential aspect of webinar software as they rely on Java script and HTML frames and sometimes some more special browser add-ons enabling all the users to access the web conferencing system.

3. Integration of applications is essential for web conferencing and the webinar software should be able to integrate seamlessly with the related applications for communication.

4. The administration capability is also of much importance when designated users are to be given limited administrative capabilities.

5. The system should allow the host of the webinar to have control over who can access the webinar and the level of access that each participant is allowed.

6. The important factor in selecting the webinar software that suits the requirements of the business. They are available for free to thousands of dollars. You can decide according to your specific needs as freeware product is sometimes more powerful than the paid product and the one that costs the most may not fulfill the specific needs of the host.

7. The webinar software products should be customizable and flexible. This is for enhancing the functionality of the system.

The webinar software field is vast and the wide range of products has their own strengths and weaknesses. A careful analysis of the business needs and the features of the webinar software are necessary for making the right choice.

This 80 page workbook takes you step by step through creating and presenting a great webinar to generate leads, boost your brand and shorten sales cycles. Lots of templates, checklists and examples to make this job as painless as it is critical to small businesses. Extra copies of key forms in the back so you can use them again and again....

1. Show and Tell - Show off your product on the Internet
- Use PowerPoint slides and Camtasia
- Show pictures, videos, ‘how to’ videos and software demos
- Use this as a pre-launch for your product (create hype)
- Give people a sneak peak of your product before they buy it

“Overcoming objections is the key to success on the Internet” - Steven Essa (e.g. you don’t have to come out of the house… I’ll come to you)

2. Interview the Experts
- Send them the questions via email
- You don’t even need to talk
- Send an email to your list announcing this week’s expert
- 14 weeks, 14 experts interviewed, 14 videos created, 14 transcriptions = your very own eBook & Video Bundle!
- Sell this product on your own sales page or website and do another webinar to promote it
- Use gotowebinar.com to broadcast your webinars

3. Paid Webinar Series
- Add your new recorded webinar series to your membership site offering prospects one interviewed expert per week
- This will create residual income and will keep the visitors to your site (they will return)
- Always survey your audience after your webinars (e.g. what did you think?)

4. Build Joint Ventures with other experts
- Create a 50/50 agreement
- Two people promoting a product means more attendees which means more sales

5. Info-product creation device
- As mentioned above you can create your own products with Webinars
- Transcribe videos
- Create articles to promote your product
- Have MP3’s created
- Videos are a great product
- Create an ‘exclusive report’ to build your opt-in list

6. Use a Webinar to up sell
- People prefer not to have to read things
- LONG sales pages can put a lot of people off - a lot of customers are lost this way
- E.g. “as you have brought this product on improving your golf would you like to attend my Webinar interviewing David Leadbetter next week for FREE”
- Then offer your back end product at the end of your Webinar (this could be a $997 set of DVDS)
- They will be more inclined to buy because they have seen you in the flesh

7. Offer Resale Rights
- Offer resale rights to your webinar series
- Creates a viral effect as the videos are still selling your product but someone else is promoting it
- Give them a clear reseller’s agreement with minimal pricing etc.
- Someone will always be more inclined to buy something if you are offering them a ROI or a business model to go with it (e.g. “If you sell just one of my Webinar series you will make your money back”)

I am going to conclude this blog post by giving you Seven Essa’s Big Webinar Tips…

1. Money is in Information
2. Track your list and provide great information and products (take surveys)
3. Keep it regular - weekly, monthly, daily

How Webcasts Can Increase Your Marketing Reach and Reduce Your Costs

teleseminar — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 17:40:33 +0000

This article gives you good insight into how to use the power of the internet through webcasts and webinars, to gain valuable market research, reach your market in different ways, and also give you the ability to expand your market. It is also a great do it once and repeat it over and over again strategy that will allow you to market your expertise in various ways.

: Image via Wikipedia

The globalised internet economy has effectively reduced barriers to markets in all parts of the world. It is now possible to converse with partners, suppliers and customers seven days a week, 24 hours a day with practically no time and distance barriers.

As a result conventional methods are no longer sufficient to reach potential customers. Companies must adapt their marketing methods to include communication tools, such as VOIP, opened up by the Internet.
One very powerfull method of reaching customers and prospects is organising regular Web Events in the form of live online presentations and seminars, also called Webcasts or Webinars.

With the technologies that are now available on the Internet, you are now able to present content in a compelling way by using audio, video, animation and graphics. This cannot be matched in any way by printed materials or a phone call.

The advantages are obvious. In comparison to Trade Shows, locally held Training Workshops and Seminars, a Webcast is set up in a shorter time span, with much less reliance on resources and manpower, resulting in a improved cost effectiveness.

...

By repeating the Webcast at various dates and times you also allow your prospects and customers to choose a presentation which can better fit their schedules. It will also allow you to reach more potential customers.

A positive side effect, is the use of audio and video recordings to enable you to reach other prospects once the Webcast has been held. By posting the recording on your website, you can further profit from the Webcast. For example, you can use it as an on-demand product to build an opt-in list, improve your customer service or even to generate an additional profit stream.

Now consider the choice you offer your customers and propects. By just comparing having to travel to an event location and waste precious time in traveling, as opposed to attending a Webcast at your own PC, at a time they can choose, the latter choice wins everytime.

This means you are able to reach a targeted audience and interact with a maximum number of people regardless of time zone, location or other restrictions you would have, by traveling or meeting the person face to face. You are able to do this at a fraction of the cost that a normal event would incur.

At Conferentia, uses VOIP Conference System to host regular Webcasts to show their prospects just how they can use Conferentia to do the same with their own products and services.

They have found that once the Webcast concept is set up, with a little practice, people easily slip into the role of moderator and presenter. Someone who is used to doing live presentations has no problem with the change to using Conferentia.

You can practically take your PowerPoint presentation, generate HTML-files out of it. Put it online and you can use it in your Conferentia VOIP conference room within minutes. You send an e-mail to customers and prospects and can have them attending your Webcast within the first 24 hours.

In a previous article I talked about the multiple benefits of using webinars in your online business. Now, I want to discuss a model of how marketing webinars can work in your offline business as well. Used correctly, webinar training allows you to identify interested people and concentrate your marketing efforts and dollars on them.

Think about this: if somebody registers for my webinar, well there is a big indicator right there that that person is interested in what I have to say. If they attend my webinar they are even more interested. If they stay on my webinar for sixty minutes, they are really, really interested. The person who stays until the end of the webinar and fills out my exit survey is even more interested.

Anytime I conduct a webinar, there are a number of people who fall into this category. Clearly they are interested in my product but for some reason decided not to buy. Well, once someone has reached all these criteria, these are the people I want to follow up with and really target in my sales efforts.

These are the folks that I want to call personally. These are the people that are worth spending my marketing dollars on and my time pursuing. Is it worth sending direct mail to my entire list? Of course not! I would be in the poor house. I would be sending postcards and bulky mail and making phone calls to people who are really not that interested. What a gross waste of effort it would be to take such a course of action.

However, if I let the webinar do the selection process for me, I hope you can see the potential benefits. With very little effort on my part I have a list of gold, people who I know beyond a shadow of a doubt already have some interest in what I am selling.

Webinar training is a great way to identify interested people, who are interested in your products and services. You know before spending a dime that they are a much better investment than the general public.

5 Tips For Improving Webinar Attendance

teleseminar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 18:54:43 +0000

This article gives some good tips on getting more seats filled in your webinar. After all, it doesn’t matter how great your webinar is, if no one is there, you aren’t reaching anyone. Getting people to your webinar requires a few different things:

(1) - Making sure people know about your webinar

(2) - Writing a compelling enough message to get them interested

(3) - Making it easy for them to attend once they have decided.

Read on for more tips on how to increase the attendance of your webinars.

When you host an audio conference call, web conference, or video conference, you are engaging in an interactive dialogue with your participants. This reveals a weak point: if you conduct the best webinar in the world, but without any participants, do you make a sound?

Finding participants for your webinars is sometimes easy. They could be employees for the quarterly meeting, or your core customers for the big annual product update. Sometimes it’s hard to get an audience, like a webinar for potential customers.

It’s when you have a list of leads and a superb webinar to show them that you need to be a bit creative, or at least unique enough to get people to become participants. Here are some suggestions to use emails, registration pages, and eBooks to increase your webinar attendance.

1. In your email invitations, realize that Bold, ALL CAPS, and other visual devices have rendered most invitees jaded, and will encourage them to send your email to the junk folder. Try a more simplistic approach. Tell them they have been invited to a webinar, what it’s about, and how they can join. Ironically, a short, plain email will grab more attention because it’s the opposite of what people normally receive.

2. Strive to encourage participant participation, even in the first email invitation. Announce that there are a few choices for the scope of the webinar and that it will be decided by the participants. Allow them to reply and cast their vote by bolding one of the choices in your list. You can also let them know about a poll on the registration page.

3. Whether you let them decide what the purpose of the webinar is or not, let your potential participants give their input. What are they interested in? What thoughts do your products, company, or guest speaker conjure in their minds? Ask for their suggestions to be delivered by replying to the email, or let them know there will be a place to comment on the registration page.

4. Nothing interests a person more than an answer to their own question. Tell people that you want their questions. Direct them to a place on the registration page to put questions, and that their questions will be answered in the webinar. Make sure to include a specific time for these questions in your public and private agendas and schedules.

5. Give them something to grab their attention. For example, do you have an eBook - or can write one in time for the webinar? Put in your email that after registration for the conference, they can download your eBook “for free.” Or why not give it to them outright? Attach your eBook with the email invitation. The eBook can be about the same things you’ll be discussing in your webinar, or simply about the industry.

People are bombarded by advertising everywhere they go. Even in their homes, if it’s not on the products they buy or the TV, it jumps at them through the internet and email. A nice, austere, genuine invitation email might be a soothing sight for their very sore eyes, separating you from everyone else.

5 Tips For Holding a Great Technical Writing Webinar

teleseminar — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:12:10 +0000

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

teleseminar — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 03:38:38 +0000

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.

Web Conferencing: Finding a Service Provider that Meets Your Needs

teleseminar — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 01:31:52 +0000

This is a good article about web conferencing or webcasting and it tells you what things you should look for when looking for web conferencing software or services. This article goes over some things such as the questions you need to have answers to in regards to the web conferencing service you are considering. You will need to have some idea of what web conferencing does and how a web conference or webinar would work in order for this article to be useful however.

With the vast amount of service providers that are available today, it’s not always easy to find the one that best fills the bill for your particular web conferencing needs. Each one claims to be the biggest, best or least expensive, and all will try to convince you that their particular plan is the one that makes the most sense for your business. Sometimes you’ll be the victim of a hard sell by those who are skilled in the art of diverting the attention away from your questions and, before you know it, the focus is on a set of features that you may have no use for at all.

In other cases, there are hidden fees that are peppered throughout the contract which you might not readily notice until you’ve fallen into the buy-in trap. How, then, are you supposed to find the best service provider to handle your web conferencing? Here are some handy tips that you should keep in mind when you go shopping for such services.

Multiple Location Participants - If you have key people in distant lands that will need to come into the web conferencing loop, remember to keep this in mind when shopping for a web conferencing package. If a service provider attempts to impose strict limitations on this type of scenario, then this isn’t the one for you.

Compare Prices - Since most web conferencing providers utilize the same software or equipment from the same manufacturers, it stands to reason that the pricing structures should be similar. If one or more of them come in way above the mark, this should tell you something about the integrity of the company. In short, move on to another provider.

Review Pricing Plans - Though many providers require to be paid on a rate-per-person schedule, there are those who will offer the same web conferencing services for a flat rate. This is ideal for companies with a number of participants. If you’re given the option of paying a flat monthly fee for unlimited web conferences, so much the better.

Investigate the Features Being Offered - Whether your needs include online presentations that don�t need to be interactive, or interactive online meetings/webinars, the right service provider can meet those needs. Check to see what other features are offered, as well, before committing to making a decision.

Many companies, for instance, have the need for features such as multiple presenters, polling and surveys, desktop remote control, live video, online chat with questions and answers, documentation presentation, application sharing, record and playback features and browser sharing. Service providers who don’t offer any of these commonly used features should be put aside in favor of those who are less technologically challenged.

The best approach to taken when shopping for a web conferencing service provider is to go armed with a list of relevant questions and a detailed description of which features are pertinent to your business. Keeping in mind that you may have to investigate a number of providers in order to find the one that best suits your needs, exercise patience and don�t be too quick to jump on the web conferencing bandwagon by choosing one that’s simply popular or has the catchiest advertisements. There are plenty of good providers out there - it’s just a matter of finding the one that has what you need, for the best possible price.

Home Business - Should You Use A Webinar To Sell Your Products?

teleseminar — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 20:55:50 +0000

This article is a basic basic view of a webinar and it’s relationship to your business. It’s real value is only to give you an idea of what the purpose of using a webinar in your business, and that is to sell higher ticket items. The benefit of using a webinar is in this case is that you can give a very detailed demonstration of you product or service to your audience. A teleseminar may limit you, while you can send people to a website and talk about it, you wouldn’t have the ability to do a live demonstration where our audience can follow your actions.
As the internet ages, new ways of doing business online emerges. Failure to utilize some of these new innovations can leave one behind the crowd and can be responsible for failure on the part of those who fail to join the band wagon while others who use the system excel in their endeavour.

Webinars is a new way of marketing on the internet. It has currently replaced Seminars. It is called a webinar because it is actually a seminar conducted on the web - online.

To hold a webinar, the following items are needed. A telephone line, an internet access, a web conference software, and of course your computer.

Each of the persons logging on to the webinar must download the web conference software in order to be able to view slides and actions performed online from the webinar host.

Setting up a webinar for marketing is one of the most effective ways to sell products in your home business. However, before a webinar is set up, there are things that must be in place first.

- The need for an advance preparation

Before a webinar is conducted, the host should be fully prepared to set up all the tools needed to make it a success. There are associated costs to run a webinar and these costs will be applied to the people coming for the home business webinar.

The materials for use on the webinar date should be fully absorbed and the host should be ready to effectively present the slides on the internet as he talks. Usually, a webinar is good for a “how to” course or just for product demonstration.

- There must be a list

Webinars are usually performed if you already have an email list of people that you have built a relationship with. These people can only turn up if they believe you have the solution to the problem they have and you must have built up their interest to the point of their spending money to be on the webinar.

- Webinars are used for selling high ticket products.

Usually, most webinars are conducted when there is a need to sell a high ticket products such as products that costs as much as $297 and above. When you talk to people using a product demonstration, your chances of getting a lot of people to buy the products in question is increased.

To host a webinar, you have to set up a page for it where people will register their interest. You need to do this many days ahead of the webinar date.

Follow up and send email to the people who registered for the call and send them email a day before the webinar. On the webinar date, send an email few hours to the time to remind them to turn up.

It is usually good to charge a little fee for the webinar, this will help in offsetting some of the costs of setting up the webinar. Since the purpose of the webinar is to sell products, it is better to charge very little or make it free for all those who will be attending.
