Here I am on vacation with my sister in a yurt in New York state near Ithaca, working on the details of my first tele/webinar entitled: "Go ahead. Give me the 3rd degree." It is peaceful, quiet and my view is a garden with lots of sunfowers and flowering vines.
It's quite a nice place and MUCH, MUCH better than staying in a hotel/motel room hands down! This yurt is approx 30 feet across so it gives quite a bit of living space, a separate dining and living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and a loft perfect for kids. I wouldn't want to stay here in the winter -- although, from the comment book, a lot of people have.
So, back to the tele/webinar: "Go ahead. Give me the 3rd degree." I've allowed for participants to choose between a phone call (costs money and kinks your neck) and a webinar (must be online at the time of session). Personally, I much prefer webinars so I wanted to give that option to people. Originally, I had signed up for the 30 day free trial with GoToMeeting, but since it allows only 15 participants, that didn't make sense for me and what I anticipate. GoToWebinar appears to be a suped-up version of GoToMeeting. It also appears to be quite intuitive. I guess I'll find out NEXT TUESDAY!
So, for my business contacts on this blog, here's the what and why behind the scene stuff.
You already know which provider I chose (after a lot of research). There are many, many free services out there that allow you to host a meeting but you need to read the fine print. Most of them allow only that: you talk, people listen.
GoToWebinar, even the free trial, allows me to have up to 1,000 participants and records the entire session including any visuals I may have (I'm wondering how that works) so that I can upload an audio link later. They provide a link, a good looking template which looks professional and I don't need a database. Mostly, I'm interested in the recording because, in the future, I can use that in many of my marketing concepts. I could burn CDs of it and give them away as 'teasers' to give people a sense of my style and to include in other marketing such as at a health fair.
Listening to the free CD will (1) give people useful information (2) start building a relationship with me which, in turn will (3) build trust which leads to (4) the purchase of a product of service. Think 'funnel of trust' -- VERY important in marketing and in business! A fabulous marketing tool for minimal time input.
Details of presentation -- "Go ahead. Give me the 3rd degree."
Although the presentation is free, you do need to register. Registration also allows you to listen to the audio upload later should you (1) want to relisten for details you might have missed and (2) if you're not able to be there due to time contraints, you miss nothing.
