the top 5 webinar formats your guests will love
DESCRIPTION
Webinars are fast becoming the preferred method of interaction between online business owners and their clients, potential customers, and even their affiliates. Unlike a blog or an email list, webinars provide an opportunity for real-time interaction between participants, position you as a real leader in your industry, and give your audience an easy way to absorb new information in a fun, back-and-forth format. If you're like most business owners, though, you don't know where to even begin with hosting a teleseminar. That's why I've put together this short, free report to help you gain a better understanding of what webinars are and how they can work for your business.TRANSCRIPT

About the author
Eirik Vold started his first business with a partner in 1996 and sold it five years later for millions. He used some of
the cash to start a second business, with services aimed for Media & IR Contacts, during a period of 3 years served more than one hundred thousands clients, and Eirik
ultimately sold that business to a larger international media company.
After working as a consultant and marketing strategist for
small and medium businesses on four continents, Eirik realized his passion and talent was helping other entrepreneurs be super-
successful (online & offline) and in 2005 coined the term Marketing Coaching to describe his work.
Internationally recognized as a business advisor and author, Eirik has worked with thousands of small and medium businesses whose names you’ll never
know, but whose entrepreneurial owners have pocketed a substantial sum in increased income and proceeds from sales. (50% year over year client
growth is typical, and 100% sales increases are not uncommon) Thousands more have read Eirik’s publications, cources and reports, including his wildly successful website nofluffreports.com. “No Fluff Reports” has hot little reports
with topics and some of the best strategies for marketing your business online as well as offline, to make more profits and serve your customers
better. These reports is a must read for anyone in the "biz".

There's just no getting around it: Webinars are a "must" nowadays in
every internet marketer's bag of essential tools. And it doesn't matter
if you're not quite ready to go that route quite just yet -- it still needs
to be thought about, planned for, envisioned (and, if necessary,
tabled), ready to set in motion when the time comes.
Choosing Your Format
By format, think "the way you present the webinar"; not "the technical
software or equipment to set it up" -- that part comes further down
the road, when you're getting ready to roll.
By format, we're thinking of style.
Are you happier getting up, speaking your pre-prepared piece and
leaving the stage with no audience interaction?
You'd probably be most comfortable doing an on-demand,
Presentation style webinar.
Are you most comfortable engaging immediately and interacting with
others around you?
The "live feed" Question and Answer format should really
switch you on and get those creative sparks snapping.
Are you even more comfortable when the focus is off you and on
someone else?
No Fluff Reports - http://nofluffreports.com
The Interview style is most likely your best format.
Is your biggest asset your connection to industry experts and authority
figures?
You're particularly lucky, because you have two popular options
to choose from:
1. Coordinating and hosting a Summit, consisting of
expert guests presenting their own mini webinars -- all on
your single topic of choice
2. Coordinating and hosting a Panel, where you introduce
your topic and guests, and invite members of your
audience to engage the experts with questions
You're probably already thinking that one particular format appeals to
you more than others. Before you commit yourself, however, it's a
good idea to analyze the webinar process a little further, in order to
truly validate your choice.
We need to take a deeper look at:
1. Why each format works -- and if it's going to work with your
particular audience and subscriber list
2. The level of difficulty -- The simple truth is that some formats
are easier to set up than others!
No Fluff Reports - http://nofluffreports.com
3. Your own level of skill or ease -- in several areas:
Public speaking
Interviewing
Software or technical platform experience
If you've reached the point in your sales funnel where you really can't
put off hosting a webinar, but you're intimidated by the thought, just
remember that knowing exactly what you're doing and how to do it are
half the battle. (The other half is practice -- and you can only master
that by jumping into the pool with all the skills at your command.
Knowing what you're doing, and why, can calm a lot of those nerves,
however. So let's take a look at five highly-popular and successful
webinar formats and explore them a little further...
5 Top Webinar Formats
Here is a quick overview of the top five webinar formats -- and why
they work.
1. Presentation Style Format:
Listener Interaction Level: No real-time interaction
Presenter Difficulty Level: Beginner
Why Your List Will Love This: A webinar presentation is ideal for
providing instruction and training to your subscribers, particularly in
subjects that are better presented visually (e.g. "How to set Up a
WordPress Blog").
No Fluff Reports - http://nofluffreports.com
Many registrants will appreciate accompanying .PDF "how to" guides or
workbooks they can refer to anytime -- either as part of your "course"
or as an optional upsell.
Why You Will Love This: If you're nervous about live interaction or
new to webinar hosting, the Presentation Style format allows you
create your event ahead of time in a no-pressure environment,
controlled 100% by you. It allows you to grow comfortable with the
format on a technical as well as psychological level. Plus you can
incorporate the profit-increasing principle of exclusivity by promoting
your event as available only for a limited number of registrants.
2. Interview Format:
Listener Interaction Level: You can allow interaction... or not.
Presenter Difficulty Level: Beginner-Intermediate
Why Your List Will Love This: Hearing a niche expert spill secrets is
a highly-attractive lure for members of any niche. They may not really
know who you are yet -- but your celebrity guest will be a treat they
can't resist.
Why You Will Love This: If you're at all nervous about hosting a
webinar, talking one-on-one to a more experienced guest --
particularly if they are someone you, yourself, are comfortable with
(e.g. your coach, your affiliate manager, an expert you have a pre-
existing relationship with, etc.) -- can really help your nerves by
removing the limelight from you and your inexperience. The guest
takes the "heat" and shares the responsibility of making the "sale" (if
there is one).
No Fluff Reports - http://nofluffreports.com
3. Question and Answer Format:
Listener Interaction Level: Heavy, controlled
Presenter Difficulty Level: Intermediate
Why Your List Will Love This: They get to ask either you or their
favorite industry expert that you're showcasing their most pressing
questions -- and get immediate answers, tips and solutions
Why You Will Love This: You get to find out instantly what's
bothering your registrants the most, tipping you off to product creation
needs in your niche.
If you are the person answering the questions, you also get a chance
to showcase your knowledge and skills, creating loyalty and a
memorable connection.
4. Panel Format:
Listener Interaction Level: Optional. You can choose to allow no
audience questions or interaction, merely showcasing the guests... you
can allow questions any time... or you can specify a limited period of
interaction afterwards
Difficulty Level: Intermediate-Expert
Why Your List Will Love This: More experts, more help with their
niche topic -- all presented in a focused, highly-effective format.
Why You Will Love This: Again, your guests take the heat while you
sit back and take notes on possible product ideas. You can also
repurpose the knowledge they share as high-value upsells.
No Fluff Reports - http://nofluffreports.com
5. Summit Format::
Listener Interaction Level: Optional. Again, you can choose to
allow no audience questions or interaction, merely showcasing the
guests... you can allow questions any time... or you can specify a
limited period of interaction afterwards
Difficulty Level: Expert. If presented as a live event, requires more
technical skill.
Why Your List Will Love This: The real-time feeling of interaction at
the top niche level provides excitement as well as maximum benefit.
It allows them to attend a "live" event as if they're in the room...
without incurring travel expenses or losing time they can't afford.
Why You Will Love This: Hosting a successful summit not only
showcases your skills but fast-tracks your niche prominence and
status. You can repurpose recordings, selling them at a higher ticket
price. You can attract powerful JV partners and make affiliate sales, as
well as build your list through your guests' own promotion efforts.
To clarify things a little more: What pushes the difficulty level up often
has nothing to do with your interviewing skill or ease with public
speaking. For instance, in the case of hosting a "live feed" summit,
the process itself requires many more steps, components and
coordination than a simple, one-person interview -- but if you're able
to comfortably put it together, your rewards ought also to be
significantly higher!
No Fluff Reports - http://nofluffreports.com
A good rule-of-thumb: The higher ticket price you put on the
services you are promoting, the more sophisticated the
webinar format you'll likely need.
For example, if you're hoping to use your webinar indirectly to
promote your one-on-one, ten-spot-only $2,700 coaching package, a
Summit format (showing you can easily connect and network with the
biggest names in your niche) is the ideal, authority-building, high
value choice.
If you're just starting out, however, interviewing your coach or another
niche celebrity who will use your webinar recording as a JV bonus for
her list is a valid and valuable way to start.
Free or Paid Webinar?
There is one other choice you must make: To start out with a free or
paid webinar.
A free webinar is a great way to deliver high value content to your list
while building it at the same time. It's also a great vehicle for
introducing a new product or service by:
1. Showing the need for what you're ultimately selling
2. Demonstrating why you alone can best deliver what is needed
This type of free webinar should always conclude with at least one
call to action -- even if it's just an invitation to sample your expertise
further by taking advantage of a free half-hour phone consultation.
No Fluff Reports - http://nofluffreports.com
Your paid webinar should stand alone as an information product in its
own right. The exciting part about this type of information product:
It's created on the spot in real time, and you typically have only
limited control over the content, if you are interacting with either
guests or your audience. Presented wisely and subtly guided with
skill, this type of product truly answers your target market's deepest
needs and comes off as an extremely valuable product, enhancing
your reputation in the best possible way.
Cost vs. Profit
If we're going to examine the feasibility of making real money with
webinars, it's necessary to take a look at costs as well as possible
profits.
The more sophisticated the system, the higher the cost. However,
there are definitely occasions when your ROI (return on investment)
will far outweigh your initial outlay for webinar costs.
That being said, it doesn't automatically follow that the most
expensive set up is necessarily the most sophisticated or interactive.
It pays to shop around, and particularly to ask for feedback from peer
entrepreneurs who have tried the system you're interested in.
It's also not advisable to go into debt over webinar set up. If you can't
afford a particular set up, chances are your business won't be quite
ready for it, anyway.
No Fluff Reports - http://nofluffreports.com
Start out with something simpler -- perhaps a celebrity/niche expert
interview instead of the Summit you're dreaming of hosting.
Only you will be able to make the final decision on this, so don't just
look at figures: Listen to your market -- and your gut. If you've got
all the guests lined up and your market research is positively
screaming that your Summit event is going to be a high ticket, smash
success, go for it. Explore every option for financing your webinar.
It's definitely a risk, however -- but that's what being an entrepreneur
is all about: Having the vision and jumping in, while others dither at
the edge of the pool, endlessly talking about whether or not they
should get their feet wet.
How Do You Do It?
Live Feed: Real-time "as it happens" webinar, with your participants
in an online "room" all together.
On Demand: Single pre-recorded webinar, retrieved by your
customers "on demand".
Why You Can't Afford Not To Host a Webinar
No other vehicle does it all so completely:
Creates real-time connection
Adds extra dimensions (auditory, visual) to your
presentation and delivery
No Fluff Reports - http://nofluffreports.com
Builds your list
Attracts powerful JV partners or experienced affiliates
Allows you to repurpose content or create upsells
Maximizes your product by diversifying your delivery
format
Adds a new dimension to your offerings
Showcases your skill and cement your status
Attracts industry experts (as guests, or as panel or summit
members)
Creates excitement through the immediacy of the event
Creates loyalty in your attendees, encouraging repeat
sales
When considering the benefits of adding webinars to your sales funnel
-- either as a regular part of your marketing or even just as an
occasional "extra" -- its worth while investigating this valuable, high-
return option further.
And remember -- you can always tailor your webinar format to suit
your individual skills, style and preferences. There's a webinar for
every presenter -- as well as for every type of audience.
Which format most appeals to you?
