You asked a very interesting and innovative question for SFI Affiliate Marketing.
It is fair to say that webinars are increasingly popular marketing tools, but few SFI Affiliates are using them.
They are definitively an advanced marketing method.
They do require resources, an autoresponder and a good sizable audience.
To run webinar effectively, you need both an infrastructure and high level traffic to bring you quality attendance
I. Webinar Infrastructure
1. You will need first a reliable, cost effective webinar hosting platform. We are not going name any here as it would appear as sponsoring them, but here are few effective ones.
The average cost maybe around $499 a month for the most effective ones. Two years ago, they were on promotion for about $99 a month.
When you search the topic, you will find that there are stand alone webinar services as well as webinar providers who bundle their services with other offerings
2. Most of the webinar service providers offer autoresponder features as, your audience will likely have to register in advance, confirm their registration to get the link and timing of your webinar, so that they can attend at the proper schedule.
II. Traffic and Quality attendance.
After you secure a solid webinar structure, your most important ingredient for success is prospect quality and level of attendance.
Both aspect matter: the number of your webinar participants as well as the quality of that attendance.
a. "The Money is on the List"
There is one famous saying in online marketing that applies here: "the money is on the list".
Simply put, you have to have a list of potential prospects. This is part of list building.
b. Adveritizing your Webinar
The second option is to advertise your webinar. You will achieve maximum impact using all available advertising methods and outlets, including paid advertising as well as social media sites.
c. Webinar follow up.
Your autoresponder would also provide you with the opportunity of following up with your webinar attendants
You may also want to record the webinar and post the proceedings in your website or your blog. This will give the opportunity to the attendants as well as those who missed the webinar to review its content
Make sure you contact your webinar attendants, few hours after the closing. Get a feedback from them and motivate them to register with SFI using your affiliate links.
