Webinars are great tools when you have something valuable and useful to say. Plan these out first, and, where possible, work with someone who does copy editing because he or she will be able to take out elements that bore listeners or help you expand parts that are not fully explained. A webinar has to be put together cleanly, preferably with outlines and transitions that keep the people on the other end listening and interested. That's why so many of those loud presentations totally fail, and why so many of the long, quiet ones have their people drop off before the end.
When it comes to training your downline, there are two separate segments: specific items of importance (skills, business details, legal information), and items related to the motivation of your affiliates. The former are most suitable for webinars. The latter items are not because they are more personalized, and chances are, your affiliates are going to want to keep their personal stuff *personal*. For this, you are better talking with them directly because training and motivation of this type go hand-in-hand.
Now, this may seem obvious to you, but I have met people who have made the following mistake: They used the same webinars and presentations for both their marketing efforts and their training efforts, despite the fact that these two audiences can be significantly different. Keeping that fact in mind will result in better training for both groups, and is worth any extra work on your part.
