How To Promote A Webinar

Many companies are working very hard to promote their webinars. This article will give your company some pointers and tips on how to promote webinars. Webinars are online seminars that company's use to market their products, train new team members, and do other things. These webinars are often useful because they can bring people together from different places all over the world.

The first way to promote your webinar is with social media. One of the most prolific social media sites is Facebook. You can post the webinar on your company's Facebook page. You can also share it with other people. Webinars are important to share on Facebook because many people share links that they find useful with their friends. You can even make an event on your Facebook page. If your webinar is a streaming event, people can access the link from Facebook. Twitter is also a popular way to reach people. Many people follow businesses on Twitter. A tweet can just be a short message that includes a truncated version of the webinar link. LinkedIn is also a popular way to reach people for a webinar through connections.

To advertise your webinar, you should prepare a short introduction. This can be in the form of an email or it can be a video. Text can tell your viewers what the webinar will be about. A video on YouTube can give a short introduction or a preview. There are other web video hosting services. Everyone, however, uses YouTube for most of his or her video needs online. Your company can also reach people with its own YouTube account. Conducting your webinar over Skype or instant messaging is another way to draw people. People can add friends on Skype and beam into your webinar if you invite them.

Another way to promote a webinar is with a traditional press release in a newspaper. Many people still read newspapers and newspapers are happy to have any advertising business. Often, the ad in the newspaper can feature information about the webinar and what will be discussed.

Blogging is also a way to reach people. Many people have blogs. You can follow a blog much like you can someone's Twitter account. Blogs are a great way to promote a webinar. When you write a blog on your webinar, you should remember how people read blogs. Most people like bullet points on a blog. Blogs should also contain only 300-500 words. Blogs are very useful for telling the details of or providing an agenda for your webinar.

You should have a contest or giveaway to promote your webinar. You can have a lottery that gives away prizes. These prizes can be given to people who stay tuned in to your webinar for a certain amount of time. You can give someone a Groupon offering for coming to the webinar. People are always compelled to do things if they are given incentive to do so. It is human nature to return generosity and people will repay that generosity by coming to your webinar.

You should do everything that you can to promote your webinar. Social media are the best tools because they do not cost your company any money. Other resources are available that cost money. However, these advertising costs will easily fit into your marketing budget. If your webinar charges a tuition fee, paying a little bit of money will bring more people on board. Your webinar is the culmination of a lot of work and you should market that work so that people get to enjoy the benefits of your labor. A marketing firm can also help your webinar.
