Responding To Questions At The Completion Of A Pitch Webinar

A web seminar known as live online training session, making a speech hear people among other thing ask questions and you instantly respond to them base on your live video. The webinar is considered to be excellent if it is complete teaching. Sometimes, it is possible to be given one offer or even a pitch having round up the webinar. It is appropriate to respond to questions? The answer could be both negative and positive. By this, I mean to say it is good to expect questions and then respond to queries from the viewers in the course of the webinar. You can as well collect questions and respond to these questions at the end of your training.

Ensure that you keep off from the question box momentarily during the presentation of your offer and in the display of all points. The essence of this is to avoid distraction in the process of impacting them. Doing so, there is tendency that you will not be disturbed by the observations of the viewer. As a result, all vital observations which include factors that hinder them from purchase, this can be resolve towards of your webinar.

Question can be accepted in the course of your speech, but definitely not at the close of the seminar. Wait for any other questions having fully delivered your training. It is not all the questions that actually deserve responses. Meanwhile, ensure that you clear every doubt over the demand structures and price issues.

Most importantly, always direct your audience to the URL that will teach more after you have responded to their questions. If people that want to keep buying for long raised questions that will enhance their decisions, carefully answer their questions and finally lead them to the appropriate websites where they can read more to get more information.

Having responded to another questions, direct them to the URL that discuss this. If it continues like this, every time people have similar questions, they can easily go to the UR you had given them.

The importance of where to go cannot be underestimated. Therefore, always ensure you solve this by redesigning negative with positive. Do not entertain request for discounts rather enlighten them the best way to maximize your product. Try as much as you can to turn the negative thoughts in the mind of your attendees to positive through your response to there questions.

Generally, I receive questions most especially during the membership set promotions that demand for all contents at a glanced. I simply responded that people get too excited of all the contents are released at a time rather they receive it in bid as requested by them. So they maintain concentration.

This is the more reason questions should be welcomed at the end of your webinar. Having answered each question, do not take more question as you are closing and turn evil for good.

Repurposing Recorded Webinars

Perhaps you have just successfully hosted your own live Internet webinar. If you remembered to record that webinar, you are now in luck. There are plenty of things you can now do with it, including but not limited to converting it into audio, other kinds of video media or even into text.

You may be wondering how to convert your live Internet seminar, commonly referred to as a webinar, into an audio format. It is not as difficult as it may seem. Many tools, like Camtasia for editing videos, let you save the audio part of your videos separately. You will be able to save the audio portions as .wav files, opening up incredible possibilities. You will even be able to save smaller videos into mp3 files. If you save the videos into mp3 format, they will not take up as much space as other types of file. This means that you can now safely put streaming videos on blogs, web sites and even allow them to be downloaded. Audio files in this format can be dragged and dropped onto your CD burner, allowing you to create your own CDs. You will be able to make as many copies as you need, and distribute them. You could even have the videos processed through CD Baby. They could even be put on Apple's iTunes.

These are high ambitions. However, most webinar hosts will just want to do some more simple things with their videos. Perhaps you merely want to convert your videos into a different format. If so, you are in luck. Most of the software available today for video editing features the option to save your recordings in different types of files. You will be given the ability to save the videos in DVD formatting. With a tool such as the Sony DVD Architect, you can burn the content onto a disc for anyone to pop in their DVD player and watch.

There are even more ways to utilize your video content. When using the tool Camtasia, you will be able to save your videos in formatting compatible with the iPod. Anyone with equipment such as the iPhone or iPod touch will be able to interact with your webinars in their homes, work places, and anywhere else they may go. Most software for editing videos lets you save your content into .wmv, also known as Windows Media Player formatting. This will make the content so easy to download that people can be offered videos in mpg4 format right on their Internet browsers.

Finally, perhaps you only want to have your webinars transcribed into text, rather than taking the opportunities available to work with the video and audio formatting. Try using the notes of some of the viewers. You can expand upon their ideas to create a full report after you have gathered and edited all of the notes.

Maybe now you are familiar with some of the methods that can be used to maximize the potential of your webinars. By utilizing the audio, the video, and the notes separately, you will be able to do more with your webinar than you ever dreamed you could.

Record Your Webinar

Now that you are going to host and present your own video, you are probably wondering how you can record a copy of it for further use.

You might want copies of your presentation in order to sell them to your customers. You might want them to use as a promotional tool. You will probably want a copy for your company archives.

Let's talk about how you go about recording your webinar and what tools you'll need in order to do the job properly. There are three basic options available to you.

You can use the build-in-recorder that is part of your GoToWebinar package.

You can use video recording software, such as Camtasia Studio.

You can use a second computer, along with video software, to record with.

Which choice is the best one for you?

The GoToWebinar built-in-recorder is easy and simple to use. It is probably the best choice for you if you are producing your first webinar. You can click the 'start recording' button and, as long as you're using a PC platform, GoToWebinar will save a copy of your webinar when you have finished presenting it. It's that simple! If you want to improve the quality of the recording, remember to set an option to save it as a Windows Media file. You can also reduce your screen resolution so that the recording file is reduced in size.

You can increase the quality of your recording by using video production software like Camtasia Studio. This takes a little more technical ability and a little more work but it produces audio and video quality that is much better.

You need to have the software before you can use it; luckily Camtasia Studio has a 30 day free trial period, so you don't need to pay for the software until you are sure that it works well for you. If you are using the Camtasia Studio software to record your webinar, all you need to do is hit the record button as you begin.

One drawback to using Camtasia Studio is that it is only going to pick up your audio; it will not record any one else speaking in the webinar. If you are having the audiences participate in things like question and answer sessions you will need to join under a second computer and record from Camtasia Studio with it. That way you will record all of the audio from everyone speaking in the webinar.

When you present your webinar and want to record it, remember these three ways that you can do it.

The easiest solution is to use the GoToWebinar built-in-recorder; all you need to do is push a button.

If you are after better audio and video quality, use video production software such as Camtasia Studio. This is more work and more technical but gives better results. Remember that it only records your audio.

You can also join under a second computer while using Camtasia Studio in order to record the audio of everyone who participates in the webinar.

It is easy and simple to make a copy of your webinar so that it is available for future use.

Recording Webinars Into Blogs

Many people who have been successfully hosting their own live webinars over the Internet have been recording their live sessions. However, some webinar hosts may be at a loss as to what to do with their collection of recordings. There are a few different options available for webinar hosts, most notably the inclusion of videos into personal blog postings. Such activity may sound complicated, but it can actually be made easy for even the most tech-unfriendly user with just a few simple steps.

Of course, it is possible to just embed the media into a website. However, for a more personal approach, it can be a great idea to upload the recorded webinars into blog postings. Whether it is a free blog site available to all, or a restricted membership area where just the registered webinar participants are allowed to view the content, uploading webinar videos into a blog can be a great way to keep the topic fresh in everybody's minds. Uploading videos and similar content is a lot easier than you might think with these easy steps.

Camtasia is a good tool for producing and editing recorded webinars. There is a feature available for generating the codes necessary for embedding. It can also provide you with codes specifically for copying and pasting. With these features, you will be able to quickly and easily copy the content, pasting it into your personal blog postings. You will be able to have your videos displayed within your blog in no time at all.

However, for users who are restricted by limited bandwidth, uploading videos can, unfortunately, bring up a few conflicts. Just as an example, if you have five webinar videos to post, and each one was ten megabytes, fifty megabytes will be used up every time someone visits the page. Why is this? Even if a visitor does not watch every video, they will still be buffering and preparing to load in anticipation of being played. Eventually, this can really add up, especially if you have lots of desired traffic, and your bandwidth will be gone in no time.

There is a way to get around this sticky issue. WordPress has a feature known as the "More" tag. Many blogs have posts which only show a small preview, with a clickable link inviting you to see more. If you follow this link, you will be able to see the rest. On your blog post, you can write up a description of the video and add in a "more" tag. It may also be beneficial to set the videos to play automatically, so that when a visitor follows the "more" tag, the video will play by itself. By doing this, you can save that fifty megabytes of bandwidth since viewers can only watch the videos they want.

Uploading webinar recordings to blogs are just that simple. All you will have to do is paste the codes from Camtasia into the post. Utilize the "more" feature to keep the videos from pre-loading for each new visitor, with the automatic playing option selected for those who click on the "more" tag.

Recording Using Your Webinar

Running a live training call webinar is one thing. But what can you do once you are done with the live training session? Here are four important things to do with your webinar recordings. You can run a replay that is limited and use it as content for members, or offer it as a full product or gift to another product. You can even use it as an email sign-up bribe, for people that miss your live webinar. It is your own decision whether you should give those people that missed your live webinar a replay or recording of it. However, even if, you actually decide to give them a replay or recording of your webinar, you do not have to keep it forever. You want your attendees to use your content and quickly take action. This means that you should only offer a replay of your webinar for 48 hors after which you should remove it from the Internet.

After you remove your replay from the internet, you can place it in the membership area of your site. I know may people who have memberships and are dying for content. If you have about an hour of free time, you can run your webinar for that hour and then save the recording. It is okay if your audience attends your webinar free of charge because the recording is going to be paid for. And you do not have to give a transcript of your webinar.

If your webinar is very good, it can actually be a complete product on its own. I have recorded webinars for one hour then sold them for around $100 and made plenty of sales. What matters is how good and information you give on your webinars is and not how long they are. If you are not confident enough, then you can use another product and promote is as an affiliate by making the recording of your webinar a bonus that you can give to people alongside the download, if they purchase a product.

Finally, you can use an unusual way to give your webinar recording, which is by offering it as a bribe, in exchange for signing in. When you build an email list, you can offer a free gift. Many marketers make a mistake of giving a free report. That is fine but a report is boring and you can take a long time to compile it. A video recording is much more interesting.

Why don't you instead make a forced sign-up page, where people can enter both their name and email address? They can then be directed to a page where they can freely watch your webinar recordings but they can't download it.

Confused about how you can use your webinar recording? You can offer it as replay limited by time for members, as an entire product or as a sign-up bribe.

Promote Outside Webinars

Now that you are producing webinars it is quite possible that you will be approached by other people and asked to promote their webinars. They might ask you to do a variety of things; mail your customer list, mention them on your social networking site or contact your customers individually on their behalf.

You should ask yourself three questions at this point. What sort of return will you be getting for your efforts? Is the product you are being asked to promote relevant to your customers? Would you be promoting this product if it was not on a webinar?

Unless you are a charity, you will be expecting to be paid in some way for any promotion you do for others. So how is the promoter who wants your help going to compensate you? There are a number of ways that this can be done. You can be paid a commission on sales made to your customer list. You can be paid a flat amount. They can also reciprocate and promote your site for you.

There is not much use in you spending time promoting products that will not appeal to your customers. If you deal in sports and personal fitness related training, you will probably not find much interest among your clients for the latest fast food chain that wants you to promote them. On the other hand, promoting a health food chain would be a good fit for your customer base. Make sure that products that you promote for others are relevant to your clients or you are wasting your time and theirs.

If this product was not being promoted with a webinar, would you promote it? If the subject matter is not interesting to your customers, or if the presentation is boring or otherwise flawed, its being a webinar will not change those factors. It will be a boring, uninteresting webinar. Your customers will not appreciate you sending them to a presentation that they won't enjoy.

If you are approached by the promoter of another site to help in one of their promotions, there are three things that you need to ascertain.

How are you going to be compensated for your time and effort? Will it be monetary; a commission or flat payment? Will it be in the form of mutual promotion?

The product that you are being asked to promote must be relevant to your customers. You know them and need to make sure that webinars that you send them to will be of interest to them.

Are the material and the presentation of good quality and worth sending your customers to? You don't want to send your clients to a boring, poorly presented webinar.

You should help others to promote their webinars if you get adequate compensation, if the products and services are of interest to your customers and if the webinar is well produced and presented.

Promote With Partners

You have just spent a lot of time and effort creating a great webinar. Now you want as many people as possible to attend it. How do you do that?

You do it by generating traffic. How do you generate traffic? One of the best and easiest ways is by forming a joint venture.

A joint venture involves getting other people, preferably with large customer bases, to promote your webinar. You need to be able to convince people that they should promote your presentation. Here are two ways that you can use to make it worth their while to promote your webinar.

These are giving an affiliate commission and doing a mutual promotion. A combination of the two could also be used.

The easiest way to get promoters of other sites to work with you is to offer an affiliate commission.

This means that they give you access to their customer list so that you can present your webinar to them. If you end your presentation with an offer you give the promoter a share, or commission, of your sale. If you offer the promoters a share of the sales of 50% or more, you have given them a good incentive to keep working with you. If you make a lot of sales, of course you will want to keep working with that promoter. If you don't, you might think about looking for a different promotional partner whose customer base is more suited to your products.

What can you offer the promoter of another site if don't have a product to sell on your webinar that will generate commissions? In that case you need to offer promotional activities for their site that are equal to what you are asking them to do for you. It is a simple, you help me, I help you technique. It is an exchange of services not money.

As you are the person making the approach, it is quite possible that you will have to promote something for the other person before they will do it for you. It does not necessarily have to be a webinar that you promote in return; it could be any product or service that they are offering. Try to work with reputable people so that you do receive promotional efforts in return for yours. If a promoter fails to reciprocate your promotion, there is not much you can do other than not work with them again.

When you have your webinar ready to present you want to drive as much traffic as possible to it. The more people that attend your webinar, the better able you are to promote your goods and services.

There are two ways that you can compensate other promoters in order to make it worth their while to promote you.

You can offer them a monetary incentive in the form of a commission, or, you can undertake to reciprocate their efforts on your behalf by promoting their site, goods or services.

Both ways are proven methods of ensuring that your webinar has a full-house!

Price Drop Marketing

You have been preparing your live, online video training session or webinar and now it's time to think about how you are going to market your goods and services. Many webinars follow the training part of the presentation with a promotional offer for their products. We're going to talk now about one simple marketing strategy that you can apply.

This tactic is called 'price drop'.

The price drop is accomplished by building the price of your product up by adding up the values of all of the materials, knowledge and benefits that your product contains.

For example, if your training video contains 10 hours of video and each hour of training is worth $100, then the total worth of the video is $1,000. Presenting your product in this way is called building your offer stack. Now that you have a high perceived value for your product you can drop the price. It can be more effective to have smaller, multiple price drops than a single large one. Tell your audience that your product, valued at $1,000 will be offered for the next month at a 50% discount. Now the price of your product is $500, already a huge savings. Then you thank your audience for attending your webinar and let them know that, for today only, they can purchase your product for $200. This will seem like an incredible bargain and should promote the successful sale of the product or service that you're selling. You, of course, had valued this as a $200 product all along, so you are not really discounting, just using an effective marketing tool.

If you have said that the price is going up to $500 dollars then you need to make the price increase. This will reward your webinar viewers and early buyers and make them want to come back and buy early again in order to get the best savings.

Starting with a high price and then reducing it is not an effective strategy for most of the kinds of goods and services offered by webinar. Discount sales work for large store chains, not smaller companies selling on the internet. Starting with a high price does not encourage people to take advantage of the price right away.

If you are looking for an effective way to promote your products and services at the end of your webinar, one of the best tactics is the price drop. Using this method you build the value of your product during the presentation. When you have established a high value you can then price drop, in stages, until you reach the sales price that you wish to sell at. This lets customers think they are getting a real bargain and it rewards your early shoppers.

Remember, you want people to buy early, so give them your best price at the end of the webinar and increase it later; don't start with a high price and then drop it.

Prepare for Webinar Early Birds

When you are ready to present your first webinar, one thing that you should keep in mind is that some people will come to the link site early. You don't want them to get bored and leave before you start. What can you do to keep them online until you're ready to begin? How do you do this?

There are several things you can do to make waiting easier for people who are early for your webinar. You can broadcast only the visual screen with no audio until you are ready to start. You can display a timer on the screen so that people know exactly how long it is until the webinar begins. You can set up a PowerPoint slide with the outline of your presentation and the information that you want your audience to be aware of when you begin the webinar.

Sometimes people presenting a webinar get online well before the scheduled time for it to start. They talk away about nothing and try to keep the early arrivals from leaving. That is not very professional and can hurt your credibility. It is better to have a screen showing that gives people the information that they need to know so that they don't leave. If you use GoToWebinar it will show your screen before it broadcasts the audio. Once a minute GoToWebinar will automatically broadcast the audio message, "The broadcast has not yet started. Please standby. Please wait for the webinar to begin." This is very helpful as it means you do not have to manually tell people to wait.

A really beneficial thing to have displayed on your screen is a countdown timer. You can set the timer at a time, say 30 minutes, before your webinar and it will count down the time, second by second, until it's time to begin. This tells the people who've arrived early exactly how long they have to wait. Countdown timers are readily available to download by searching on the internet.

It is important that you make a PowerPoint slide with information or instructions that you want people to be aware of when the webinar begins. Give them the title of your webinar and an outline of what you will be covering. Often, this can also be used as the first slide of your presentation.

If you have special instructions that you want the audience to follow, put that on the slide. Then people arriving early will find a screen with all the information they need; when the webinar starts, how long it is till that time and what they are going to learn.

Keep your 'early birds' happy by preparing a screen that gives them the information that they need to know about when your presentation is going to begin, a countdown timer so that they can see how long they need to wait and information and instructions regarding the webinar. GoToWebinar will also give then audio messages every minute that will remind them to stay online, that the webinar is about to begin.

You've spend a lot of time preparing your webinar, so ensure that people who arrive early for it do not leave before you begin!

Practicing Your Webinar with Your Friends

For those unfamiliar with webinars, they are live streaming video presentations viewed with the Internet. Learning how to host successful webinars can seem like a tough task, but it can actually be very simple when a few easy tips are followed. Anyone who is preparing to host a webinar should practice before going live. You will want to be sure that nothing important is left out of the PowerPoint slides, and that every aspect of the feature will run smoothly. The most important thing is to sound professional. You want to convince all of your viewers that you know what you are doing. It is strongly advised, therefore, that before hosting a webinar, you have some practice sessions with friends well ahead of time. Try pretending that you are live. Have some self-recording sessions and compare the results to your friend's notes.

When rehearsing for your upcoming webinars, it may be very tempting to gloss over the seemingly less important areas. However, when practicing, it is actually vital to pretend that you are live, on the air. This will help you in your ability to deliver a pristine presentation when it is time for the real thing. If you make any errors in your practice, you will be able to work them out in time for your real performance to be flawless. By doing this, you will nip accidents in the bud before they can ever have the chance to happen to you.

It is vital to have a practice audience for asking questions during your trial runs. When you are practicing alone, it is easy to forget about leaving plenty of space for any question the viewers might ask. Perhaps some of your viewers will even impart something very important to you during the webinar which will slow it down for up to fifteen minutes. Leaving plenty of time for such interruptions can help you to be completely prepared, even if there are no questions asked during the webinar. Try asking your practice audience to ask you a few questions about the presentation for added realism in practice.

Another crucial aspect of practice is to take recordings of yourself. While it is wonderful to practice with friends watching you, recording yourself takes the preparation to an even higher level. You will be able to see and hear yourself as others will see and hear you, giving you the opportunity to make any last-minute improvements in your delivery of the presentation. Try letting someone else watch the video so that they can give you a detailed critique.

One of the special promotions you can try to keep the viewers hooked is to offer the webinar session as a bonus along with whatever is being sold in the presentation. You can also note that if your viewers would like to watch the webinar again or replay any areas of it, they can access it in a members only section. This kind of instant gratification is very attractive to most people and will keep them coming back. Be sure to include such information in your practice runs so that you will not forget to mention it when you are live.

You should always practice as if you are live on the air. Record yourself, have your practicing partner ask questions and leave a fair amount of open space. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, learn everything you need to know about hosting a webinar with: www.webinarcrusher.com
