The bar has been set very, very low when it comes to webinars nowadays.
Example:
I did a webinar re: daily emails a few days ago.
I knew that I had a lot to cover, so I didn't mess around with a long bio or fluffy talk. I jumped right into the meat of it, and covered a lot of ground over the next hour.
When I finished, I started getting messages from people saying how much they enjoyed it and how surprised they were that they got value from
it.
Line Brunet, a coach in British Columbia, sent me this:
=====
It was the best one you've ever done and one of the best I've ever signed up for which I don't tend to do anymore because most pretty much make me want to jab my eyes out with a stick. You're a solid guy with some solid, no fluff stuff. Just my
style.
=====
I'm not saying this to blow my own horn, but to point out that so few webinars actually teach anything nowadays that it's a big shock when they do.
Imagine that - actually give value on webinars, and you'll shock and amaze people?!
What do most webinars do? They spend 15 or 20 minutes giving the host's bio and life story, then a little
bit of meat before going into a long-winded sales pitch at the end.
It leaves the attendees feeling like they wasted their time.
Years ago, I watched a lot of webinars and got plenty of notes and useful stuff from them. Nowadays, I'm a lot like Line and feel like leaving most after 15 minutes.
I gave my advice for webinars in a Facebook live video yesterday. Here's the link to check it

Good luck with your
webinars,
