This is true of person, place and thing, and it more than aptly applies to the quality of your company’s webinars.

We suggest you start by dusting off your business’s communications infrastructure, focusing on your webinar services. Why focus your “upgrade” here? As a customer-facing portal, your webinar platform impacts the interactions your customers have with your brand. So it’s vital that this platform is user-friendly (meaning easy to navigate, understand and access), reliable and professional looking.

Why Your Millennial Workers Should Be Managing Your Business’s Webinars

Posted by Sabrina George on Tue, May 05, 2015 @ 03:02 PM


Take a walk through your office, and challenge yourself to see how many of your millennial workers, or those born after 1982, you can identify by name. Chances are likely that if you work for a big company, the percentage could be relatively low as most millennials do not hold high-visibility leadership roles due to a lack of experience. A recent survey from Deloitte, for instance, shows that just 28 percent of millennial workers believe their organization is making full use of their skills; and research has previously linked feeling valued as a key indicator of job performance.

When detailing important statistics during a webinar that you want your audience to remember, you must make sure to properly portray the graphics by creating slides that are more uniform with the rest of the presentation. Moreover, the entire presentation should follow a theme, including the background colors of the slides. Make sure the text that details the statistic stands out from the background and your graphic works with and reflects that statistic. Lastly, you don’t need to include a lot of information on a slide. Your verbal presentation will elaborate.

It is commonplace to allow questions and discussions in the middle of a classroom session, but this is not the best format when hosting a webinar.  When talking to an audience you can't see that has joined you in virtual session, the speaker in the webinar needs to take charge of the flow. It is for this reason, we recommend assigning specific time slots within the webinar for questions and discussions. Most often, the particpant Q&A is done in the last 15 minutes of the webinar session.

Webinar Tip: Have a Backup Plan

Posted by Amit Rathee on Thu, Jul 31, 2014 @ 01:28 PM
Regardless of how much you plan and prepare when conducting a webinar or any type of virtual meeting; there is still a chance that things can still go wrong. As such we recommend that you as the host ask yourself at least the following three preparation questions prior to the start of your event:


1.What is course of action if my phone disconnects or drops audio?
Answer: We suggest providing a backup dial-out number where you can be reached.

2.What would I do if my computer crashes mid session?
Answer: Keep an extra computer logged into the session on standby.

3.What if my guest guests are unable to attend the live session?
Answer: Have a backup or on-demand presentation. This way, those users who may have difficulty connecting to the live session, can watch your topic at their leisure.

Webinar Tip: Set a Time for Q&A

It is often commonplace to witness discussions or for a teacher to allow questions in the middle of a classroom or collaboration session. However, when you move in to the virtual meeting space, where you are talking to an unseen audience, the speakers or moderator need to be sure manage the overall flow of the webinar session. More specifically, it is vital to assign specific time frames within the webinar for questions and discussions and proceed according to the aforementioned plan. We suggest allotting the last 10-15 minutes of session to Q&A, depending on the overall length of the webinar.

No one will know to attend if you don’t promote. In most cases, webinar tips state it is best to begin promotions about three weeks prior to the event. Some of the most popular methods of promoting include emails, social media, your website, LinkedIn and more. Check with your webinar vendor to find out about their services notifying, registering and reminding your attendees about the webinar. As you design your invitations, make sure you are clear about the date and time of the event, as well as how long it will last and what your attendees can hope to gain from attending.

Scheduling a live webinar is one of the most difficult aspects, especially if your attendees span the globe. In addition, the date and time you choose can have a profound impact on the success of your event. For instance, studies have shown Tuesday and Wednesday are the top two dates for holding webinars. In fact, more than 50 percent of webinars are held on these two days alone. It is also important to avoid conflicts with major industry events. Finally, pay close attention to the time zones of your attendees and plan around the most convenient time for the largest number of attendees. You may also want to consider holding two webinars to reach a larger audience.

Follow-up after the event is critical. Compare the list of registered attendees versus those who actually attended. Gather their contact information so you can send out surveys and receive feedback, if desired. The key is to get your follow-up emails out as soon as possible after the event, as well as any information you promised to deliver to your audience via email. A prompt follow-up means your webinar is still fresh in your audience’s mind and the feedback will be more valuable. Within an hour is the best amount of time.

Last minute changes to your webinar can have the potential to be highly disruptive. As such,  adding new content at the last minute, like a new video or PowerPoint presentation, should be avoided if possible. Furthermore, making changes moments before start time do not allow hosts and presenters enough to practice or get acclimated and can lead to blunders and mistakes. Small adjustments such as fixing a typo are still acceptable and can be completed.

Just because some of your participants are unable to attend the live showing of your webinar  doesn't mean that they are not interested or that they will not benefit from the content. As such, by making a recording of your webinar available, those who would want to re-watch , or  those who could not attend the live broadcast, can take part in your webinar on their own time.

Webinar Tip: Add It To Your Signature

Posted by Amit Rathee on Thu, Jan 09, 2014 @ 09:57 AM


You likely send out a great number of emails every day. Make sure to include a link to information about your webinar event or even the page for people to sign up. By doing so, this link will appear at the bottom of every email you send, attracting the attention of more people who may not receive your original email blasts and notifications, especially if recipients forward the email. Furthermore, make sure you highlight the webinar/webcast link and corresponding text in a different color so it really stands out. Once an event has ended you can remove this link and replace with one for a future event.

Webinar Tip: Start Advertising Early

Posted by Amit Rathee on Tue, Dec 31, 2013 @ 09:44 AM


There is a delicate balance between advertising too early and waiting too long. The best time to begin your webinar marketing campaign is about two weeks prior to the event. You can continue your marketing efforts up to 24 hours before the event begins. However, you can still send reminders to attendees who signed up as little as a couple hours before to ensure they don’t forget to attend. You may also want to automate these notices so you can reach your audience, even if they are on the other side of the globe.

Webinar Tip: Consistency is Key

Posted by Amit Rathee on Wed, Nov 20, 2013 @ 01:01 PM


The data you collect should fall into one of five categories: demographic, interaction, sentiment, engagement or consumption. Once you establish the data fields within these categories, it is important to consistently use them throughout every virtual event for the best results. It is best to avoid free text entries that are difficult to categorize. With consistent data fields, you will be able to more accurately track behavior across multiple online events and build a profile of who your audience is and how they are most likely to interact with you.

A Quick Guide to Better PowerPoint Presentations

Clear, concise, and visually stimulating – these are the three main attributes of an authoritative PowerPoint presentation that will instill your message into the viewer's mind.  We all face information overload every day. This is why most people only briefly scan an email message. They read the first sentence, the last sentence, and possibly a few sentences in the middle. Keep this thought in might as you develop your PowerPoint presentation. Make your presentation powerful without bombarding the viewers with more information at one time than they are prepared to receive.

How to Promote Your Webinar

Posted by Sabrina George on Thu, Nov 03, 2011 @ 01:13 PM

If you have read our article “The Do’s and Don’ts of Webinars”, you probably have a strong foundation for getting your first Onstream Media webinar assembled. A solid topic, salient speaking points, a good title, an engaging presenter; everything you need for success, except the most important item: An audience.

It’s as fundamental as your topic that you have set up a solid plan for getting the old adage into play: “If you build it, they will come.”  This happens through several relatively easy, inexpensive routes that market and promote your webinar, namely through use of the Internet and print media.

You will want to leverage your inclusion in social media networks, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace and Yahoo Groups to give the who, what, where and when of your webinar.  Targeted audiences like those already in your online social groups are tailor-made to the topic you will be presenting.  Use those same online resources to advertise calendar events, and Twitter teasers and firm dates to the webinars.  Do not overdo it; you don’t want your well-meaning reminders to become a burden to your social groups.

Personally invite your closest colleagues, mentors, customers and contacts through email or regular mail.  If you choose regular mail, set a date a week ahead and remind the recipients by email.  Be sure to mention your webinar event on your company’s home page, and provide a link to register.

Advertise in trade publications, print and online newsletters, and be sure to avail yourself of the power of the press release, both on your own website and on those of industry information sites.  If you are in a tradeshow before the webinar, hand out flyers with pertinent information, the most important of which is the when and how to register. Be sure to use free (or low-priced) sites such as Eventspan, Webinarlistings and Webinarbase to get the word out to as many targeted folks as possible.
