Arrange Live Webinar

Webinars are becoming popular for holding "meetings" without traveling. This is especially convenient for trainers, trainees, marketers, clients and researchers to share information.

Steps

  1. View a webinar as a "live-web-seminar" in each of your offices or homes, wherein the seminar is held at dozens of sites at one time, exchanging information across hundreds or thousands of miles/kilometers in all different directions, in a special kind of computer assisted "conference call", using your cell phone or wired phone connected for all to hear each other. All the participants are online, connected virtually, with the help of the web having the ease to voice questions and get verbal answers about the information you're all viewing and hearing. It overcomes distance -- gives a feeling of being on the telephone -- giving each person ease of personalizing contact with associates, as directly training users, employees or reporting results to clients and immediately exchanging ideas and getting understandings verbalized.
  2. Use a webinar hosting service to get connected. Use your favorite search engine to look for "Webinar Hosting" and similar key words. These there are many providers that have a wide range of pricing plans from free to several hundreds of dollars each.

    Think of a webinar host as connecting at least two, and perhaps hundreds, of persons speaking and sharing by using your and their computer screens, sharing a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation (or other application) with colleagues or several associates while you talk them through the presentation. With a webinar, your client -- or hundreds of them -- can not only watch your presentation while you share it, but can also listen to you as you walk them through your presentation. The wonderful thing is that (a) your friends, associates, or potential clients can be anywhere in the world, (b) you can still have a dialogue or exchange of questions and answers during your webinar and, (c) in just about all cases only you need all the materials and the presentation software that you are sharing with them.
  3. Realize some things that you need, although holding a webinar is easy. (1) Since a webinar is dependent on the internet, all the participants must have access to it and should have good connectivity. (2) Before you conduct the webinar, you need to prepare strong, useful, composite visual and verbal materials that are required by the audience to be sure your message will be understood.
  4. Consider, also, arranging to get information from marketing companies, technicians, or suppliers, using the webinar method -- contacting them to set up a webinar conference for your associates to meet online. Similarly if you have hired consultants to help you with your company’s growth or need them for competitive benchmarking, you can use the webinar to get the information presented to you, to understand them easily.
