Webinars are popular in every niche these days, but they are extremely popular in the online marketing niche. In the world of online marketing, there are two to three free webinars every day and night of the week. Webinars are web-based seminars where participants listen to audio via a phone, computer, or Skype. They view the presentation through a web browser on their phone, computer, or tablet. You may be thinking that doing anything for free is a waste of time; however, that couldn’t be further from the truth. There are many benefits to hosting free webinars. The top three benefits are turning your webinar into a paid course, selling products, and selling affiliate products.
Free Webinar Benefit #1: Turn the webinar into a paid course
Many marketers use webinars to generate income. They record the webinar and copy it to DVD. The audio is copied to CD. The audio is also transcribed into a PDF report. DVDs and CDs can not only be sold as physical products, but audio and video can be turned into downloadable electronic products.
If you want to add more value to your free webinars, you can add two or three premium themes that were not included in the webinar. This will give your potential customers more incentive to buy your product.
Free Webinar Benefit #2: Sell Your Products
Hosting a free webinar related to your products is a great way to sell more of your products. This strategy increases the number of products you sell. Many marketers offer their webinars for free because they know they can promote and sell a variety of their products. You can use this tactic to sell your books, ebooks, courses, software, seminars, services, and much more. Additional product sales from the webinar will more than pay for the expenses incurred to host the webinar.
Free Webinar Benefit #3: Selling Affiliate Products
Even if you don’t have your own products, you can still make money from your affiliate products in a webinar. During the webinar you give away useful content. You can mention one or two affiliate products that can be used as references or manuals. Make sure the products you are promoting are related to the topic of your webinar. If your potential customers found your webinar useful, they are more likely to buy. Also, if your webinar shows them what to do, but the product you’re selling shows them how, they’re also more likely to buy.
As you can see, it can be very profitable to host your own free webinars. There are many ways to take advantage of these webinars if they offer great information. There are many services that you can use to host your webinar. Most have a monthly cost, but traditionally they offer you 30 days free. If you start right away, this should be more than enough time for you to earn money to pay for the service once the 30 days are up.
