Here are a couple of simple steps to set up your own webinar:
-
Register for a free trial at GoToWebinar.com. The basic registration information is required and with a simple download you are ready to go.
-
Create your own customised registration page. GoToWebinars.com offers a number of options to help you create your own registration page.
-
Settings. Choose the settings that work best for your event. Because my event is only for a limited number of individuals and requires a registration fee, I selected an option that allows me to redirect to a payment page before attendance information is provided. I've also listed all of the free bonuses that I'm giving away to each registered user on this page as well.
-
Set up payment page. If you are requiring a payment for your webinar, set up a Paypal page to request payment and redirect to the appropriate confirmation page.
-
Post information about your event. In addition to a registration button include information about your event on your website or blog. Doing so make registration easy for those interested. Be sure to provide detailed information about the event (ex: SEO training) and a clear way for users to register.
-
Monitor your account. Prior to your event, log in to your GoToWebinar account on a regular basis. You may need to approve registrants, respond to inquiries, or send emails to registrants.
If you don't have much experience with webinars, I encourage you to open an account and go through the process of setting up a webinar. You'll never truly learn how to effectively give a webinar unless you take one on. Don't be frightened. The process is simple and the support is there.
