Producing a Webinar for Your Niche, Start With An Agenda, Then The Content

One of the beautiful things about the Internet is anyone can find information on anything that interests them or fits their needs. There are millions of websites covering every topic under the sun. Now you want to add your Webinar to the list and make it fit into your particular niche.

The first thing you must do is really study your subject material. How broad can you make the dialog in the Webinar so it can influence the largest group of people without spreading yourself too thin? There are a few ways to go about this process and here are a couple of them.

The first thing you need to do is research the niche you are targeting. Let’s say you want to do a Webinar for people who want to sell a boat. Start by looking at boating websites and auction sites to see what people are talking about and buying. Talk to people who are looking to buy boats and find out what’s important to them.

That leads to the second point – talk to the people who are in the market you wish to impact. The best way to learn about something directly related to people is by talking to those people and seeing what is important to them. Forums and social media websites can be the perfect resource for this. Ask questions yourself or look through previous posts to see what questions people are asking. Nearly every industry has a forum site related to it and many people make use of these forums to find out information related to that niche. Take advantage of the wealth of information available. Chances are if a question has been asked several times on a forum, there are hundreds or thousands of people with the same question. By narrowing down your niche in this way, you can present a focused webinar that will provide solid information people need – ultimately leading to higher attendance and more sales.

To create a really successful webinar, you need to begin with your agenda. Once you know what you want as the outcome of your webinar you need to have a plan to ensure it comes across perfectly. The first question to ask yourself is what do you  want to accomplish?

You need to decide what points you want to get across during the webinar and in what order you want them introduced. Your best bet is to make a bullet list with all of your main points set out. List everything you would like to cover; it doesn’t matter how many points there are at this point, this is a first draft.

Once you have the first draft completed, you will be able to create an ordered list from this information by filtering out the main points and adding subpoints to each main one. This way you can have your main points with smaller sets of additional information to create a flow to your presentation. You will want to keep related items grouped together so you can make the delivery of your information more concise and easier to understand and follow.

During the webinar, add some time to your agenda for questions from your audience. You can choose to add this between each of the main points or save all the questions for the end of your presentation. Many experienced webinar presenters recommend doing this at the end so you can be sure to get all of your points across in your allotted timeframe.

Your agenda for your webinar has to ensure you are covering all the important points without losing your focus. Once you have completed your agenda, you can begin to elaborate on your presentation with more details until you have a complete script prepared.

You can use your agenda to promote your webinar by posting it on your sales page, announcement page or even as part of your press release to encourage people to register for the event.

You have an agenda that you have spent a lot of time effort and brain power to develop.  Here are a few quick tips to help with you content development.  This is the where you get the benefit of all the upfront work you just finished.

* Practice out load, keep in mind how you will sound when you present the points outlined on your agenda – you don’t want to seem too pitchy or like a salesman. Instead, you want to inform the participants about the benefits of your product or service and show them how it will make their lives easier and better.

* Go through every point and elaborate with the details you are going to use to make these facts relevant and exclusive to the participants. You may want to use a timeline to write your script, so you are in line with the parameters of your presentation. Remember, Practice out loud

* Start with a story, something personal that reaches out to those attending. You want to engage the crowd and having them relate to you is key to that process. Of course, your story must be relevant to the webinar, it makes a great icebreaker.

* Using visuals as part of your content is also another great way to keep the crowd engaged, but make sure you don’t over do on these visuals.  You want your webinar to be fast-paced, energetic and informative enough to keep the people wanting to learn more.

* It goes without saying, your content should revolve around whatever it is you’re selling or promoting. You could deviate a bit if it is relevant, but it’s better to stay on course. Follow your outline and give as much information as you can in the allotted time.

* Make certain your participants have a study guide where they can write down questions or issues. This will help you tremendously when planning the content of your next webinar.
