I Promote Someone Else"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s say someone approaches you and wants you to tell people about their webinar.\u00a0 Whether they want you to mail to your list of subscribers, tweet about it to your tweeter list, or even contact people one on one to go on this webinar, the question is, should you promote it?\u00a0 To answer that, I have three simple questions to ask you.\u00a0 What are you getting out of it?\u00a0 Is it relevant to your subscribers?\u00a0 Are you doing it just because it is a webinar?<\/p>\n<p>You owed in the beginning something in return for your efforts.\u00a0 Otherwise, you\u2019re simply acting as a charity.\u00a0 If somebody wants you to promote a webinar, are they going to mention you on the call?\u00a0 Are they going to mail their list of subscribers?\u00a0 Are they going to pay you a flat fee?\u00a0 Are they going to give you some kind of a bonus as a thank you?\u00a0 What are you getting out of it and is it worth it?\u00a0 I have promoted some people\u2019s offers just to score a one-on-one interview with them because I knew it would pay off.<\/p>\n<p>The next question is, is it relevant to your subscriber?\u00a0 My list of subscribers is in the PHP niche.\u00a0 So, if I was running a webinar about PHP programming and they contacted you and your niche is personal fitness, it would not be a good match.\u00a0 Your subscribers probably wouldn\u2019t care about PHP programming.\u00a0 They would care about running or weightlifting but not PHP programming.\u00a0 That is something that is not relevant to those subscribers.\u00a0 On the other hand, if I was running a webinar about a new style of jogging or even a new way of losing weight, that personal fitness niche would probably be interested in it and that webinar would be a good fit.<\/p>\n<p>That leads me to the final question, are you promoting this just because it is a webinar?\u00a0 If a webinar sucks, if it\u2019s boring and it doesn\u2019t teach you anything, then it's still not going to be any good just because it\u2019s a webinar.\u00a0 Keep that in mind.\u00a0 Teaching a boring topic or being taught from a boring presenter does not make it any better because it\u2019s a webinar.\u00a0 So, ask yourself, \u201cWould I promote this if it was not a webinar?\u201d\u00a0 If the answer is no, then you should not be promoting the webinar.<\/p>\n<p>Those are the three questions to ask yourself when deciding if you should promote someone else\u2019s webinar.\u00a0 What are you getting out of it?\u00a0 Is it relevant to your subscribers?\u00a0 And are you doing it just because it\u2019s a webinar?\u00a0 Find out how to host and co-host your very own webinars at <a
