Lots of my clients are afraid to do webinars. Like I can't think about anything else, I just want to cancel it kind of afraid. Like I'm 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 "Do I have to do a webinar?" is, of course, no. You are the boss of you.
Here's why I think you should try it even if you're as uncomfortable with the idea as I used to be:
- There's pretty much nothing like a webinar to allow you to interact and connect with the people you're here to serve.
- You get to see people's questions and their reactions to what you're sharing, which is valuable market research.
- You're able to provide value to your attendees in real time.
- Your future participants get a sense of you that they can't get just by reading your emails, and that helps them decide whether you're a good fit for each other.
- You grow your email list every time you do a webinar, and that's 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's gotten so much easier and more pleasant for me
- Why you won't be as bad at webinars as you think you will
- 23 ways to make webinars go better for you and your attendees
