Utilizing free webinar software
2
Your company may have a blog, a website, a
mailing list and may be extremely active on
social media. But connecting with customers and
potential sales leads live online can enhance
your business relationship in unprecedented ways.
3
This is why if you dont use webinars already as
part of your sales strategy, it is time to do so.
4
There are a lot of different webinar platforms,
ranging in price from free webinar software
platforms to mid-priced and top-of-the-line
providers.
5
Each platform has its pros and cons. Choose the
right kind of software for your webinar needs.
6
Once you have the right software, consider this
simple list of factors that will help you host a
webinar free of glitches.
7
It is just as important to focus on the technical
aspects of your planned webinar such as choosing
a free webinar hosting vendor and opting for a
meeting consultant so that you can quickly
resolve any issues you face during the webinar.
8
However, this article focuses on the content of
your webinar and certain soft skills required to
maximize the impact of your web conference.
9
Consider these tips and then tailor them to suit
your business and webinar needs, based on your
industry and the content of your webinar.
10
This list is by no means comprehensive, instead
consider it the starting point of your journey
into optimizing your web conferencing experience.
11
  • Invite an expert.

Invite an industry expert, customer or partner to
participate. This will stimulate more interest,
drive participation and create synergy. A big
brand name partner can add gravitas to your event
and even double or triple your attendance because
people realize that these experts may have
interesting or different perspectives to share.
12
  • Webinar etiquette.

Join your meeting early and verify that all links
and presentations are working. Before your
meeting begins, provide a quick review of the
features, such as how to use the chat feature.
Have each speaker identify themselves when
speaking, and add a photo and bio of the
speakers. Remember to mute all lines until the
QA session begins.
13
  • Creative presentations.

The most captivating presentations tend to be
multimedia. Include animation, flash, photos,
web-demos or other visual aids to make your
presentation more interesting. Engage your
audience by including polling questions at key
points in your presentation. This will help hold
your audiences attention.
14
  • Dont rush through

The slower you talk, the more authoritative you
sound. Don't rush or talk over other speakers.
The presentation software tends to lag, so if you
go too fast your audience may miss what you were
trying to show them.
15
  • Keep it succinct

Dont cram too much text or information on your
slides. Keep them simple and leave plenty of
white space or background
16
  • Leave enough time for QA. 

The number-one reason people come to live events
is to get their questions answered. So keep an
eye on the clock. Leave at least 10 minutes for
questions in a one-hour presentation20 minutes
is even better.
17
Technology is constantly evolving and perhaps the
most important benefit of technology is that
leads to democratization. It translates into the
fact that online, we are all equal.
18
The monetary cost to being online is minimal and
you dont need to spend a lot of money to use web
conferencing as there are many platforms that
offer free online conference services.
19
This means that your webinar has the potential to
reach to a variety of people that you would not
be able to reach out to with traditional modes of
communication. This is what makes webinars one of
the most underrated yet effective tools to help
grow a business.
