Repackage Your Live Webinar Class as a Video Training Series

If you have already run a weekly live online webinar training session and it's now completed, it is time for you to repromote that package as a series of video replays. But how do you easily reposition one of those training courses as a class that stands on its own? You do it in three ways. Make it evergreen, add a dashboard page, and set up an autoresponder consumption e-mail sequence.

The first thing to keep in mind is that you need to make your webinar training evergreen. That means, if you mention at any point in the course, that the training was live, whether that is in the videos themselves, in the comments inside the membership site, remove those. If you mentioned any date, such as the month and day, the year, or day of the week, or even any holidays or special occasions, remove those or do your best to not mention them when you make the recording. It's very important that people don't know whether the videos you recorded are a day, a week, or a month old. Keep it evergreen.

The next thing you should do is create a dashboard page. This takes just a few minutes but insures that people can easily navigate the inside of the membership site that holds your webinar training videos. It is simple, just create a separate WordPress page that links to the various posts and pages containing the webinar replays in a logical step-by-step fashion. You can simply list the links to all these videos as a site map kind of page or as icons, put them in tables, and get it as fancy as you like. But adding the dashboard page automatically makes your membership site look a heck of a lot better.

Finally, and this is one of the most missed opportunities when it comes to making a webinar replay site or a membership site in general, create a consumption e-mail autoresponder sequence. What do I mean by this? I mean that, when someone joins your site, they aren't necessarily going to go through all the training right away. They might take several days or even weeks to watch all the videos. They might have forgotten how to log in or what the next step is for them. That's where you come in. Create a series of e-mail messages that tell people what video they should be watching, what report they should be reading, or what action they should be taking right now. Send them a message on day one, day three, day seven, just something every few days to remind them to log into the members area and keep watching the videos, whether they have paid you one time or are paying you on a rebilling schedule. And that is how you repackage your live webinar class as a re-play series. Make it evergreen, add a dashboard page, and assemble a consumption e-mail autoresponder sequence.

How to Run Your Very Own Webinar Step By Step

Running your own webinar is a great way to connect with your audience, make a product, or even build your audience up bigger. What if you have never presented on a webinar. You might be confused about what exactly is involved. All you have to do is schedule the date and time of your webinar, generate a webinar registration link so others can sign up. Then, just show up to the webinar at the specified time and date, share your dream, and state your voice.

Once you get your webinar service (I recommend GoToWebinar) then you create a new webinar session. This can be usually a one-hour or two-hour training session on any subject you choose. You write down the title of the webinar and the description along with the date, time, and time zone. You save your changes and now you have this time slot available, and when this time slot comes up, you can log into your webinar account, start the webinar, show your screen, and start presenting. But, what you've done here is the first step. You've now scheduled your webinar.

What happens next? Your webinar service usually generates what's called a registration link. This is the link you give to others to allow them to register for your webinar beforehand. This is important that they do it before because as the webinar draws nearer, the system will automatically send them messages reminding them that the webinar is coming up, and when the webinar is live, they can now join, see your screen, and hear your voice. Take this link, send it to your e-mail subscribers, post on your blog, post on Twitter and Facebook, and now people can register. When it comes time to present -- for example, this coming Thursday at 2:00pm Eastern Time -- you click on the button to start the webinar, and it will begin sharing your screen. The best webinar services don't use your camera. They instead display anything on your desktop including a web browser or PowerPoint presentation. You show your screen and speak your voice and now people can both see and hear you online on this live streaming training session that you can use to gather live questions and even record it later.

Those are the steps to running your very own webinar. First, schedule the webinar date and time, generate a registration link, and then finally, share your screen and speak your voice live so people can be trained by you.

Present Using Webinar Instead Of The Teleseminar For These Reasons

When you present using the teleseminar, you stream your voice live to anyone who calls on the telephone. But with the webinar, people can see your screen, which means they get a live streaming video presentation in addition to hearing your voice. You should present using a webinar, which means video, instead of a teleseminar because you can show people instead of just telling them.

You can demonstrate and clarify even if that demonstration only consists of bullet points and screen shots. When I tell you that you can stream the video on your computer to people, it sounds scary, doesn't it? But the good news is people don't have to see your face. They can be viewing just your computer screen, which means your desktop, a PowerPoint presentation, or your web browser. This means people see only what you want them to see, and it's very easy for you to rip up a PowerPoint design and a PowerPoint presentation in just a few minutes.

No matter what you do, especially if you're explaining a step by step system or some kind of software, audio alone won't cut it. That's why it's important on a webinar to be able to demonstrate something, which might mean pull up a piece of software, pull up a web page, or just show diagrams and/or pictures to make sure people understand your point. There's no harm in explaining a concept, then showing it and explaining it again so people understand it.

Finally, you can be half-assed when it comes to showing some kind of visual image. What's a PowerPoint? It's just several slides existing of titles and bullet points. And you probably would write some kind of a map or notes to keep your presentation on track, so you might as well show those bullet points to your audience to help them follow along, as well. In addition, you can take pictures or screen shots and replace them as different slides on your PowerPoint presentation, and your webinar can still be very entertaining when it is simply you talking over a visual slide show. I hope those three things convince you to run a webinar in place of your next teleseminar, because you can show video, even if it's just a PowerPoint presentation. You can demonstrate some action and clarify your step by step how to information for your audience, and you can show something as simple as bullet points or screen shots.

Physical Seminar for Streaming Webinar for your Next Event?

There are a couple of routes you can take when you want to run some kind of a training course. You could always go the old fashioned way, and rent out a hotel conference room, hope people buy, and travel to your event or you can now run that event online using what's called a webinar. I believe you should strongly consider running a live webinar instead of a live seminar because there's less expense, you can provide lower cost to your customers and it's easier to make and use recordings of that event.

Running a seminar can be pretty stressful. You have to pay money for your own flight and hotel room, you have to rent out a conference room, get a camera man, all the while hoping enough people buy to at least cover your costs and the time put in for traveling and presenting. On the other hand, running a webinar is extremely low cost and to just run a single event, is basically free. That means, you're already making a profit, when your first couple of buyers roll in, which removes the pressure on you.

You also get more buyers using this technique because you don't have to charge $500, $1,000 or $2,000 in order to sell seats. You could run a webinar and sell tickets for $50 or even $100 for just a day or a weekend. This means it's a lower cost, and an easier offer for people because they don't have to pay for flights, hotel rooms and spend all that time traveling. They pay for access for a normal computer and now connect to your streaming presentation.

Finally, it's easier to record a webinar, than to record a teleseminar. And let me explain. When you run a webinar, you have to hire a camera person, worry about the lighting, the audio and if the camera person is any good. On the other hand, when you record a webinar, you just hit the record button and it records your screen. This makes it a lot easier to guarantee you have a decent recording to re-package into DVDs, video for a membership site or even sell the transcripts if not all three. And that is my argument for running a streaming, live, online webinar instead of a typical upline seminar. There's less expense for you, less expense for your customers and you have an easier time reusing and re-purposing the recording.

Instead of running your next seminar, try a webinar. I'm going to train you how to do it at www.webinarcrusher.com.

Prepare For Your First Webinar

When you are ready to present your first of many webinars, there are three things you need to do. First rehearse the presentation you are going to deliver. Get an audience to view that presentation, and record the presentation for yourself and for others as a replay. The easiest way to get over being afraid or anxious about presenting on your webinar is to simply do a dry run -- rehearse it. Pretend it flies, don't pause, don't start over. Just open up your presentation, and present it as if you normally would.

This will easily show you how long your webinar will last, and will identify any trouble points within that presentation. Now that you have that ready, you need a crowd of people to view it. And because this is your first webinar, it's fine if only 10 or 20 people see your offer. Even if only one or two people, or no people, see what you have to say, you can always record it for later. And recording a webinar presentation is very easy. Services such as Go To Webinar, have the recording option built in.

You click one button, and after your webinar has completed, you can save a video file. As a backup I will also use a screen capture program, such as Camtasia Studio, so that I have a high quality copy of my webinar that I can use as a DVD, log post, bonus, and much, much more. When you're getting ready for that first webinar, rehearse it, get an audience, and record it.

Use Webinars To Make More Money Online Right Away

When you run a webinar, it means you are streaming the screen on the computer and the sound of your voice live to an Internet audience. Although they are great for training, you can use webinars to make more money and reach more people but running a pitch webinar, by having a webinar class, and even adding a bonus webinar on top of your existing office.

You may have actually been present as an attendee on a pitch webinar without even realizing it. This is where a webinar training session is given for free. It usually lasts about one hour and the idea is to get as many people on this free training call as possible. The presenter teaches something or presents some kind of problem, at the end transitions into some kind of an offer where people can buy right away. This can be any kind of offer, including a report, membership site, or even services and coaching.

Speaking of having something for sale, you can run a webinar class. This means that you set up a curriculum, possibly four or eight separate one hour sessions delivered week to week training people on some kind of subject, such as weight loss or Adobe Photoshop. Once a week, you meet at this webinar and only paying members can attend. You can even record these calls and place them inside a download page or membership site to sell later, but the idea is you are presenting some kind of information live to paying members only.

People pay you money to get access to your better training. Finally, you can run a webinar one time to use as a bonus. Let's say you only have an audio or video course that is selling pretty well, but you want to run a time limited promotion. What you do is present the same offer but tell people if they buy before a specified date, those buyers can attend the bonus webinar where you train people on some other subject or even review or answer questions that only the buyers can access.

Those are three easy ways you can use webinars to make more money starting right away. First of all, run a pitch webinar that is free to join where you teach people out in the open in public and then transition into an offer people can buy. Run a webinar class which means you actually create your entire product live on a series of weekly webinars and even run follow-up or bonus webinars to add on top of an existing offer you provide to make it even better.

Make Your Next Webinar Fun And Interactive By Making Just A Few Little Changes

When you run a webinar, people see your desktop and hear you live, which means that only you present some kind of presentation that people can both see, read, and hear, but you can adjust and adapt what you present based on user feedback. In other words, you can have the kind of training that is unique to anything else anywhere, because in other situations people would have to watch videos or read books, but with you, the training changes according to your audience. Go ahead and make that next webinar a whole lot more fun by bringing on panelists, reading audience questions, and using your drawing pen to illustrate a point.

When you run a webinar, there are three types of people. There's the organizer or the presenter, that is you, the person that shows their screen who has control over the entire webinar. They can read questions, kick people off, and so on. But you also have attendees. These are people who can view the webinar and do nothing else. They can't see who else is on the webinar, they can see questions others have typed, they can view and that's it. But in between these two levels is the panelist level. When you have panelists on a webinar, it means that these people can speak and be heard. They are unmuted along with you while the rest of the audience is muted. You can bring on debt experts and present on a subject you know very little about and still be perceived as the expert because you brought the panelist on the call.

Speaking of positioning yourself as an expert, you can allow your viewers or attendees to guide the direction that your training takes. Most webinar software allows user to type things into what's called the question box. This is not a hat box. No other attendees can see what is typed. You are the only one who can see it. If somebody has a question about a topic you haven't thought of or needs repeat clarification, you can go back and adjust your training based on what people type. Finally, a very underused tool in screen presentations and webinars is the pen. There is a tool where you can literally draw on the screen. You can draw diagrams, draw words, draw pictures and make a point better than if you had simply spoken it out. Those are three very minor but effective adjustments you can and should make on your very next webinar. Bring on guest panelist experts, look at the question box every once in a while to see if your audience needs help with something, and use your drawing pen to illustrate your point.

Overcome Webinar Anxiety Right Away And Become an Expert Presenter

Run your next webinar anxiety free. Train people live and share your screen by practicing, knowing your subject and going at a slightly slower pace than you otherwise would. Webinars are great for people to get trained on something right away by you live and it only takes you about an hour to give a great lesson. But I know that if you have not run a webinar, or ever, you might be a little afraid of what might happen.

If you practice running your webinar presentation you will get rid of any fears you have and very easily know where the trouble spots and if you need to change parts of the presentation. You also should know what you're talking about at least a little bit. If you don't a lot about it, don't present about it. Its okay to say that you don't know about a certain area because you are a specialized expert.

Here's what I mean, let's say you were presenting a webinar about dieting and a lot questions came in about exercise instead of dieting. Its perfectly okay to tell people that today's training is not about exercise, its about dieting and that is the subject that you are going to cover. You also don't need to present your webinar at a fast rate.

And in fact, its better to present a tiny bit slower than you are used to, just because you are more focused more alert and have heighten awareness you will feel as though you are presenting too slow. But for many audience members, slower is better. It means that you are making sure they understand the concept, that they have time to take notes and that you are repeating or going back over points of issues that they didn't understand or need additional clarification on. But above all, I know that your next webinar will be great. You'll have fun doing it, you will help people and change lives. So go ahead and run that webinar today.

Broadcast Your Live Streaming Video Presentation Webinar Using PowerPoint

When you're at a webinar you can literally show anything that could appear on your computer screen, including your notepad, desktop, your software or even a web browser. But I strongly believe that you should show a PowerPoint presentation because he helps people learn better and gives you more control over what you show on the screen.

You create your PowerPoint presentation to use at a webinar, choose a theme. Write out your slide and bullets, and the rearrange that outline consisting of slides so that it makes more sense. The first thing you should do when opening p PowerPoint and creating your instructional slide show is to choose a theme. You might notice that by default the design of your slide appears as a white background and black text. This is perfectly okay, as long as you have good information no one will care that your design looks plain.

I would rather have good information and a bad design than bad information and a good design. Take a couple of seconds and choose from the available themes or leave it at the default. The important part is going to be the slides and bullet points. With PowerPoint you add a title and a series of bullet points for every slide. If you want to show the next slide, just click on new slide and type in the titles and bullet points there as well. When you run that slide show, you simply play the current slide.

You talk a little bit about it and then you go on to the next slide. This ensures that you don't have to script anything, and you don't have to remember anything either. You just see what's on the screen and you present for a couple of minutes in each slide. But as you're putting things together you might realize that some information should go before others, or you should present your outline before going into the specific slide, or even recap information you just taught.

That is why you can easily move and drag and drop the order of your slides. I hope that stepping you through those steps in creating and presenting a webinar PowerPoint presentation convinces you that a PowerPoint is the best way to present on your webinar. Open a PowerPoint, choose a theme. Write out slides and bullets and then rearrange those slides in an easy to understand and logical format.

It's one thing to talk about webinars. But wouldn't you actually like to see one in action and create one for yourself? You can at: http://www.webinarcrusher.com.

Create Your Next Training Session As A Live Webinar

I am not sure if you have heard what a webinar is, but this is a way for people to come to a live event that you present online. In that live event, people hear your voice and see your screen; you could present anything you want and show any image in front of them while they hear your voice at the same time. You should use webinar technology to make your next information product or training course for several reasons.

First of all, it's great because you can get paid for a course before you even make it. Or if you are presenting a course for free, you can gather the audience before you make it and figure out if there is a demand before doing the work. A webinar also has higher perceived value because it's not just training, it is live coaching that you can adjust and adapt based on user feedback, and above all, it is fun to do. Instead of being someone who sits in a corner recording audio and video, you are more like a radio DJ or a TV announcer.

You present something and it goes out live. You do it once, and everyone gets the information immediately. You get paid before you run a webinar because you can only make the information when people show up live. This means that if you are running a four or eight week class, you can schedule the webinar ahead of time and people pay for access to that special link. It's kind of like selling tickets to a live show, but your live show is presented live on the Internet. And if you think you have a great idea for a webinar course and no one buys, then there's no harm done, you don't have to do it.

Or if you do run that webinar, simply run it for the recording, and now it becomes a paid product. And if people do take you up on your offer and join your webinar course, it is going to be a lot more fun. I can't tell you how many times I have presented on a live webinar where questions came in that I never, ever would have thought of. Or, lets say I am focusing on three specific areas in my webinar, and there was more attention and more of a need for me to focus on one of those three points over the others, that is the kind of live feedback I probably would never get just guessing, just presenting in a vacuum. Because presenting in a vacuum really is no fun. You ought to enjoy what you do, whether what you do is audio, videos, or training courses, if you enjoy it, it will feel like fun instead of work. And webinars are fun to do once you get the hang of them, especially if it is on a subject where you are an expert or you simply love it.

To run a webinar right away, because you get paid before you even make it, you can present it as live coaching and charge more, and you in fact get more people in that course, and it is fun to do.

Robert Plank wants to show you how to run your first, second, third, or even next webinar at: http://www.webinarcrusher.com
