Lots of my clients are afraid to do webinars. Like I can\\u2019t think about anything else, I just want to cancel it kind of afraid. Like I\\u2019m convinced I will make a total fool of myself kind of afraid. Like can I just get under the covers instead kind of afraid. Like sweaty-as-hell-armpits kind of afraid.
I used to be afraid to do webinars too. In this episode I talk about why it might be worth it to move through that fear, and I share 23 ways to make webinars go better for you and your attendees.
The short answer to the question \\u201cDo I have to do a webinar?\\u201d is, of course, no. You are the boss of you.
Here\\u2019s why I think you should try it even if you\\u2019re as uncomfortable with the idea as I used to be:
- There\\u2019s pretty much nothing like a webinar to allow you to interact and connect with the people you\\u2019re here to serve.
- You get to see people\\u2019s questions and their reactions to what you\\u2019re sharing, which is valuable market research.
- You\\u2019re able to provide value to your attendees in real time.
- Your future participants get a sense of you that they can\\u2019t get just by reading your emails, and that helps them decide whether you\\u2019re a good fit for each other.
- You grow your email list every time you do a webinar, and that\\u2019s key to making money. (Listen to my recent episode on growing your email list to hear all about this.)
Here\'s some of what I talked about in the episode:
- The difference between doing a webinar and going live on social media
- The awkward pain that was my first webinar
- Why it\\u2019s gotten so much easier and more pleasant for me
- Why you won\\u2019t be as bad at webinars as you think you will
- 23 ways to make webinars go better for you and your attendees
