More Amazing Features of Webinars

By Stephen Beck

This article highlights why a webinar service is beneficial. Hosting webinars is one of my favorite ways to make money online for many reasons. There are three reasons in particular why I truly feel that webinars are one of the most powerful trends, not only in home based online businesses but traditional brick and mortar businesses as well.

1. You can control the interaction

Webinars offer a great deal more control than the traditional teleseminar. When I used to run teleseminars, I would get to a point in my presentation and then offer the chance for listeners to ask questions. Then I would un-mute everybody and if I had more than 100 or 200 people on the call, all you could hear would be inaudible noise. You could hear all the reverberation, all the feedback. One time, a man was not listening when I said that I was going to un-mute everyone and when he was un-muted, he was shouting at his wife. So all of us who were on the call heard this guy yell at his wife and he did not even know it.

A webinar avoids all of that by giving you full control over the interaction. If you want to answer questions you can do so without having to un-mute anyone. You do not have to hear any of the feedback and background noise that is associated with a call with a large group of people. You have full control over the interaction on a webinar.

2. Your listeners to do not incur long distance charge

This is a great benefit. Teleseminars often have long distance charges, especially if you are dialing in from a country other than the one the conference bridge is located in. On my webinar service we have participants all over the world. As long as they have an internet connection they can join my teleseminar without needing any special equipment. This also comes in handy at the end of the call because I do not have to worry about price sensitivity to my sales pitch due to the costs associated with getting on the call.

3. Send people directly to your website

One of the best benefits to a webinar is the ability to send the participants right to your sales page. If you are selling an information product you can direct them right to the page where they can order on a webinar. With a teleseminar, they have to hang up the phone, go to their computer and visit your website. All of these steps are barriers to the sales process. If they get distracted you might not make the sale. These distractions are minimized when you use a webinar service. After all, they are already online. They are already connected. You just send them right to your website. This works even with an offline business. If you offer professional services, you can send them to a place on your website where they can schedule an appointment with you.

So what is the bottom line? The bottom line is if you are in business you should be using webinars. Every business these days has the ability to utilize a webinar service.
