What exactly is a Guest Webinar? A webinar can be defined as a teaching session whereby you allow your audience to access your screen and speak so that they can all hear you as you make your presentation. A guest webinar therefore is when you make a presentation to another persons' audience. This is a brilliant way to acquire additional affiliate sales and form new partnerships.
It is very important that you fully understand the common mistakes to avoid during guest webinars. Always ensure the webinar owner is the one to introduce you and then go ahead and fit in to that particular presentation. Remember that you are a stranger to that particular audience kind of like the first time you are introduced to your wife's friends or relatives. However if a third party is the one who brought the two of you together, then at least you have some common point to build your trust on. Apply the same rules with guest webinars. Even if the webinar host is uncomfortable doing the webinar, have that person introduce you briefly to his audience so that once you start speaking the ice will already be broken.
Having someone who is already trusted by his audience do your bidding will help a lot in building trust with the new audience you are about to present to. After the introduction, be sure to come in on the same pitch that you were introduced with to allow for continuity. Feel free to ask what your audience wants you to concentrate your presentation on. Once I held a webinar about creating videos and I was unsure what the audience was interested in as far as DVDs are concerned. I was torn between teaching how to stream videos or the video production process. On asking, majority of them chose video production.
After determining the direction the presentation will take, make sure you adjust your schedule to concentrate on the topic of interest. Finally, make sure you prepare accordingly and read the mood of your audience to avoid failing in delivering your presentation. If you ask a question and the participants do not answer, move on and try to find something that will capture the audiences' attention and keep them interested enough to want to actively participate in the webinar. If you choose to stick to issues that the audience is non-responsive to, it may ruin your credibility and even lead to some participants leaving the presentation prematurely. So make sure to read the mood of your participants and if you detect something is not working out, move on and find another point of interest.
Preparation is always the key for any presentation. To avoid failure, be very alert during the webinar to enable you notice your audiences' interest. Make sure the webinar host takes his time to introduce you properly to create trust, and then adjust your presentation for that particular audience.
