TechnologyOne of the main

reasons that even savvy business owners don’t host webinars is the technology

They are scared of it and think they won’t be able to manage

Even if you are a complete beginner, you can manage IF you keep it simple.

There are 4 key tech elements to focus on.

1-Mailing List TechnologySend information

pertaining to the webinar, give reminders, and follow up after the webinar.

Get software that allows for segmentation, double opt-in, automated subscribe and unsubscribe, and reports and metrics.

Aweber is the most common email marketing platform. If you don’t already have a list to market to, NOW is the time to start building one

2-Webinar Registration ProceduresYour email system

can help people sign up.

Some webinar software will also help with this.

You want the process to be simple and easy. If it is too complicated people will not join.

Ensure that the system works and is sending confirmations to attendees.

3-Webinar Technology TipsChoose user-friendly

and professional software

Try the technology out well before the event

Get a virtual assistant (VA) to set everything up for you to save time

Have a helper or VA willing to attend and help out during the event just in case-you don’t want to fly solo.

4-Shopping Cart TechnologyYou need a shopping

cart to sell products and services.

Cheapest is not always best

Choose features you need and that can grow with you.

You can also start easily with PayPal and grow over time, so don’t let this hold you back from hosting your first webinar.

Manage Webinar Materials

Be sure everything is well-organized

It may be a live event, but you can still prepare slides and so on ahead of time

Every speaker or presenter should be responsible for their own presentation materials

Set up a schedule of when each part is due so that everyone can do their part to ensure that tasks are completed on time.

Project management software can help
