Although running a live online webinar broadcast might sound and look scary, it's much easier than it looks when you have the proper training. In fact, webinars are so easy when you know what to do that you can run one without any preparation whatsoever.
I'll give you a few examples. Once I was introducing a guest on a webinar who is going to speak for 45 minutes about the best WordPress plug-ins out there. But it turned out that where he is living, the power went out and he had no way to turn on his computer, let alone connect to the Internet and present this webinar. I had to present in his place.
I knew the topic of WordPress plug-ins so I opened up my blog in the browser and went through the most interesting ones. If you are going to be presenting on a webinar with someone, chances are you are both in the same niche and you at least have some expertise that way you know which questions to ask. If someone is a no show and you have similar knowledge, you probably can use his same topic and present it to the best of your abilities. Guess what, if you're only a beginner in that topic then you're presenting a beginner level webinar.
Let's say you can actually get someone else on a call. I have also run webinars with a guest with no preparation. All you really need are four questions and you can run an interview for any length of time. Those four questions are really only there to help you if you get stuck. I know that you've probably had a phone conversation with someone for hours and hours. All you need to do is the same thing here but on a specific topic.
Believe it or not, webinars do not have to be scripted and in effect they are much, much better when a conversation flows naturally. With this interview, you can respond to their answers with more questions, fall back on your emergency four questions or even take questions from the audience. As long as you think of yourself as a kind of talk show host and have the guest speak more than you, you'll do just fine.
The final example of a zero preparation webinar I want to share with you is a surprise webinar. If you have an email subscriber list of any size and you run a webinar that simply says, "Ask me a question about anything," most of your subscribers would jump at the chance to get this free training from you. Even on the off chance that no one asks a question, I know that you've been asked many questions on the Internet fairly recently.
Go look at the form post you responded to or even posts that you know the answers to. Look in your email for repeat questions that come up over and over. Dig around in your blog comments to see what people are asking. As you can see, you can run a webinar with no preparation whatsoever with a guest, without a guest or with no plan at all.
