There are a few webinar tools you will need to run a professional and effective webinar. Because the effectiveness of your webinar begins with the webinar set up.

The first webinar tool you need for creating your webinar is a webinar set up sheet. On this sheet you need to list:

- your webinar OBJECTIVE (sales, a phone appointment, education?)

- your webinar TITLE (this should be benefit driven)

- what you plan to COVER on your webinar

- your STORY (This is “why” you are qualified to host your webinar.)

- CASE STUDIES (real-life examples of how you, or others you have helped, have been successful with your product or services)

- EDUCATION (killer tips and tricks they need to know to help overcome the “problem”)

- ROAD BLOCKS to success (obstacles that will keep them from solving the problem)

- CALL TO ACTION (This is where you encourage them to act on what you’ve shown them. Go to your website, buy your product or service, or call for an appointment.)

Another webinar tool is a powerpoint template for your webinar ppt. Creating a webinar ppt is easy if you include these items:

-background graphic – Create or have someone else create an appealing, memorable graphic that communicates the message of your webinar. Use it as the background graphic on your master slide.

- your picture – Also on your master slide, use a professional-looking picture of yourself. Put it in the top left corner. Seeing a picture of your will help people remember you and your voice.

-bullet points that show up when you click your mouse – Go to the “custom animation” option and have each line on your presentation appear when you click your mouse in the master slide.

-call to action URL – Write out your website’s URL at the top of your master slide so that your “call to action” can be seen on each slide. Your website should feature a buy button, a phone number to call, an email option form, etc.

Finally, to set up your webinar, you’ll need these tools:

- webinar hosting – A webinar hosting account lets you present your audio and video to hundreds of people at the same time. A few webinar hosting companies include: GoToWebinar, Manexa, Omnovia, Web Ex and Adobe Connect

-a web page for registration – Your webinar hosting company will likely provide you with a registration page, but I recommend creating your own. Remember to sell your webinar by showing your potential customers what is in it for them. This is known as being “benefit driven.”

- autoresponder – You want to remind them of the upcoming webinar (even after they register). And you definitely want to follow up with them AFTER the webinar with your call to action.

So those are the essential webinar tools. Give them careful thought, set them up, and you will likely see HUGE results.
