First another question to consider:
What’s the cost of not doing a webinar?
Okay, We’ll come back to that we promise!
So, how much? The first part of the answer is first controlled by your budget. We can tell you if your funds are really limited, then you’ll most likely be doing it yourself. But for information’s sake, let’s make some assumptions:
- Let’s say you already have a webinar platform account you’re paying for.
- You are the presenter (no other panelists, speakers, or guests).
- You only need simple moderation or on-screen host.
- The webinar is less than, or no more than thirty minutes.
The minimum you should plan for is something simple in the $300+ range (ish). It might be less, but likely will be more. Here at The Webinar Guy, our “The Webinar Team” spends vast amounts of time asking questions about the details. Details take time. Because…
We want your event to be STELLAR!!
The Webinar Team, is ready to do an initial assessment for you to help decide all the details, including our 50+ touch points to plan a great webinar. While we don’t go through the entire sheet, we’ll ask initial questions to get an idea of what you’re trying to do. It takes about 15 minutes, and the initial meeting has no cost to you!
Here’s the first ten questions you can prep for:
- Date and time of event (Please provide time zone, we do webinars all over the world!)
- Length of event
- Do you have a timed agenda (see example)? (ALL the details of who does what/when!)
- Do you have/need a script? (The Webinar Team can prepare a great webinar script for you, or assist in editing yours if needed.)
- Have you established a budget?
- Do you have/need a PowerPoint slide deck? (Yup. The Webinar Team does that too!)
- What platform are you using?
- How many speakers/presenters
- Do you need moderation? On-screen host? Both?
- Do you need any music or sound effects?
Yes, there are more than fifty things to consider on our Excel planning form, and you’ll need to consider every point- especially if this is your first rodeo!
Back to the how much question.
The most honest, frank answer is that there are million-dollar webinars produced every day! So, somewhere between $300 and $1,000,000?! Yes! Well, no- not really. We know our clients need to budget, but we also know that to produce amazing webinars and events, meetings and informational seminars, we need a great budget to work with. Relax, we’ll help you with this!
It’s the point of our fifteen minute information gathering. We can quickly start to assemble what you need done. What you want to do, and what you want to hand off to The Webinar Team!
Oh, and that cost of not doing a webinar?
Here’s the answer: Do you want your sales chart to look like the image on the left, or the image on the right?
A professionally produced webinar will immediately establish you as an expert. it doesn’t matter if you’re giving away content, or selling, your audience now sees you as the expert. The quality and professionalism of your webinar
is.
that.
important.
Yeah, we know you’ve seen this button a hundred times now! But it’s time to actually CLICK on it! (You’ll be glad you did!)
Think Long Term!
You need a long-term plan when starting webinars. We certainly have “one and done” clients, a book cover reveal comes to mind, but what are you trying to build? If you want longevity, “Green” webinars that continue to sell (even when you’re sleeping), think long-term!
We’d love to talk strategy with you and help you accomplish your goals!
