How to run successful webinars

Do you know how to ride a bike?

Maybe when you started, you had training wheels and maybe your parents or older siblings helped you out. Eventually, those training wheels were retired. You wobbled, stumbled, and fell several times, but eventually you learned to ride a bike on two wheels, and you felt really good about yourself.

Organizing and running successful webinars involves the exact same process. You should find someone to help you. Attend various webinars and take notes. After attending several webinars, even in different markets or niches, you will see that there is usually an established pattern of delivery.

Learning with training wheels

At first, getting a successful webinar host to help you is like having training wheels on your bike when you were little. This virtually eliminates failure.

You may not be the world’s most savvy webinar host, but when you get guidance from someone else who’s been there and done it before, your performance, even the first time, is much better than it would be if you had tried. . to learn on your own.

Do you remember the first time you asked someone out?

Okay, let’s forget about the experience of riding a bike for a while.

Do you remember the first time you asked someone out on a date?

You were full of fear. Would they reject you? Would you open your mouth and babble and mumble the words, looking foolish and feeling foolish? These are questions you asked yourself. Since you didn’t want to fail, what did you do before asking that special person out?

You practiced your delivery.

Test your webinar software before you start. This sounds like obvious advice, but many first-time webinar hosts don’t do it the right way. Practice, practice and then practice some more.

Offer your webinar to a few friends and get their feedback. Host your webinar as many times as you are familiar with the software and experience from the inside out, both from your point of view and from your attendees. Practice makes perfect, so familiarize yourself with your webinar software and your script intimately before you begin.

don’t forget to be yourself

You have a lot to learn to become confident giving webinars. There’s the software you have to figure out. What happens if there is a technical failure? What if no one shows up? What if too many people show up and you get a bunch of complaints about prospects not being able to make it?

With all of these important considerations, it makes absolutely no sense for you to increase your workload by trying to pretend to be someone you’re not.

You’ll build confidence and ability to deliver webinars when you act like yourself and no one else. You are a unique person, and webinars are a wonderful way to let your unique personality shine through.
