Have you heard about what a guest webinar is? I'll tell you.
A webinar is a training session where you show your screen and speak so people can basically look over your shoulder and they hear your voice and they see your screen.
But a guest webinar is where you present your screen and voice to someone else's subscribers.
This is a great way to get extra affiliate sales and to make new joint venture connections.
However, it's very important that you understand the three top mistakes made with these guest webinars so that your next several guest webinars run as smoothly as possible.
Make sure to let the person introduce you, adjust for that particular list and never ever set yourself up for failure.
When you present for someone else's subscribers you are a stranger to them. It's kind of like if you try to make a new friend, that friend would be on the defensive because they don't know you.
On the other hand, if a third person who knows both of you, introduced you to one another, there's an immediate trust gained.
Do the same thing with guest webinars. Even if the person who has the subscribers you're presenting to is afraid of webinars just make sure they speak for thirty to sixty seconds introducing you, telling them what you do, how you let things like that just to get everyone's guard down.
You'll have a lot easier time teaching and selling to a crowd if someone they already trust introduces you to them.
And after they've introduced you to them, you should be able to slightly adjust your webinar on the fly.
Can you stick in a simple poll at the beginning of the webinar to see what direction it should take? I once ran a guest webinar about video creation and I wasn't sure if that crowd wants to know about DVDs, about online videos, about making video products and it turns out they all want to know how to make video products.
But at the beginning, I mistakenly assumed they wanted to know about DVD creation. But because I ran that poll, I knew to spend more time on the PowerPoint slides talking about video products and less time about the DVDs.
Adjust for a list if in no other way, than just by setting up a simple poll.
And finally, it's too easy to set yourself up for a failure and you don't know to avoid this unless you have attended other people's webinars.
I've been in webinars where someone ran a poll and no one answered. And the person were in the webinar instead of moving on, waited and waited for someone to answer and they kept saying things like, "no one is answering me," and "no one ever answered."
It slowed down the webinar and made the presenter look really bad like they have no expertise or that no one even bothered to listen to them. If something goes wrong just move on.
Make sure to avoid all those things with guest webinars. Let the person introduce you, adjust for those subscribers, and never ever, ever set yourself up for failures.
