In my last series of articles, I discussed four types of webinars. With model number two, you can offer a free webinar to help promote your services. This is called a ”How-to Webinar.” If you have a complicated product to sell then this is perfect. You will teach people how to do things in this type of webinar. After that you will then offer your services if it is something that they do not want to tackle themselves. The mortgage industry for example is a great place that the ”How-to Webinars” will work perfectly.

Teaching people to do their taxes and probate are two examples that can be used from the example above. You can even teach them how to choose a qualified professional in this area. Once you have taught them all the things you planned, you will then offer your services to do these for them. You must make sure that you are living up to the standards that you have pointed out to them since after this they will be looking for a qualified professional to help them. You may guide them by indicating the top ten things to look for in a professional. Your competitors may be able to meet up to 5 of these. However, you must ensure that you outdo them by meeting all ten.

These types of webinars can be used as a tool to teach people about the new regulations and rules that have been implemented. One topic that could yield lots of money for any tax attorney would be how to tackle your taxes. The tax attorney can use the beginning of each tax season to put in place the “How-to Webinar” that will teach people about new changes and rules in this sector. They will see all the bureaucracy that is involved, and then he will show how he may help them.

“How-to Webinars” are not being used as much in service-related industries. The truth is that this is one area that could really use webinars. Webinars can be used to educate people about setting up an appointment, making sales, and many other areas in the service industry.

In which service sector could webinars be used? Realtors who are trying to sell under-valued properties to buyers could use them. This could even be applied to realtors that are trying to sell their services and are saying they are better than the competitor. Even health care professionals who are trying to teach their audience about the latest in their field could use a webinar. They can easily teach, and then make a follow-up appointment with these same people.

People nowadays do not know about the different insurance plans that are on the market. Insurance salesmen who are interested in expanding their services can easily explain the different plans that are on the market for different people. Once the webinar is finished, he could then offer a free one-on-one session to help those who are curious to find out more and to help them identify the best plan on the market for them.

Personally I like the whole concept behind a one-on-one consultation. I believe that it is necessary in some industries. However, the important thing here is pre-qualifying people and getting appointments with them. After a webinar, I will only be targeting those people who want to buy. From there I will set up my one-on-one appointments.

Non-profit organizations can also benefit from webinars. They can use the webinars to attract potential donors and show them why they are the best organization to invest with. After the webinar is finished, they can see the website on which they can make their donation.

This article is a continuation of a series of articles I have been doing featuring webinars. Webinars are my favorite technique in making money online for numerous reasons. Here are a few more great reasons why I believe webinars are the future, not just for home internet businesses such as my own, but for just about every kind of business model.

1. More control over interaction

There are a number of ways you can control the interaction with a webinar service. In teleseminars, suppose you want to give the listeners a chance to ask questions. You would have to un-mute everyone and if there were a large number of people on the call, the feedback would drown out any attempt to ask a question. You would not be able to hear anything but background noise. For example, on one teleseminar we all heard a man shouting at his wife. He had no idea we heard him because he was not listening when I un-muted the line.

So I would rather avoid all of that, and have control over all of the interaction. I can answer all the questions of my listeners without having to un-mute everybody. With webinars, I do not hear all that feedback, hear dogs barking, and people screaming and all kinds of stuff. So you just have a lot more control over the interaction with a webinar.

2. No long distance charges

This is a great benefit. Teleseminars often have long distance charges, especially if you are dialing in from a country other than the one the conference bridge is located in. On my webinar service we have participants all over the world. As long as they have an internet connection they can join my teleseminar without needing any special equipment. This also comes in handy at the end of the call because I do not have to worry about price sensitivity to my sales pitch due to the costs associated with getting on the call.

3. You can send people directly to your website

One of the best benefits to a webinar is the ability to send the participants right to your sales page. If you are selling an information product you can direct them right to the page where they can order on a webinar. With a teleseminar, they have to hang up the phone, go to their computer and visit your website. All of these steps are barriers to the sales process. If they get distracted you might not make the sale. These distractions are minimized when you use a webinar service. After all, they are already online. They are already connected. You just send them right to your website. This works even with an offline business. If you offer professional services, you can send them to a place on your website where they can schedule an appointment with you.

Here is the deal. I believe each and every business should consider using webinars as a part of their marketing strategy. There are benefits to all types of businesses to use a webinar service.
