If you are a technical wizard who is skilled in all aspects of webinar production, you probably don't need to read this. For the rest of you we are going to discuss what technical skills are really necessary in order to produce and present your own webinar.
To run an effective webinar using a webinar service like GoToWebinar is quite simple. To learn how to produce and present your webinar there are three methods that can be used. They can be used alone or in conjunction with each other. The three methods are:
1) Read the manual.
2) Rehearse the webinar.
3) Work with a partner.
Let's take a look at how these methods can give you the skills needed in order to run your own webinar.
Read the manual. That sounds almost too simple to be mentioned but often people do not read the instructional material that comes with their programs. The manual covers all of the most frequently asked questions as well as a lot of other information.
When you use GoToWebinar you can be sure that Citrix, the training company that provides the program, has been updating and adding to their manual on a regular basis. The manual provides instructions on how to use all aspects of GoToWebinar. By reading the manual you will be ensuring that you can run the best webinar possible.
Rehearse the webinar. By practicing the webinar beforehand you will be able to see where any technical problems are going to turn up.
Go through the whole presentation, using your screen and including all of the things that you intend to do, such as polling and question and answer sessions. Have friend participate as someone who is attending your webinar. Start and end your presentation just as you will during the live broadcast.
You will be able to check your material, your timing and many other aspects of the webinar.
Practicing will make you feel a lot more comfortable when it comes time to do it for real.
Work with a partner. Having a partner help you or co-present with you can be helpful in a number of ways. They can do things like field questions from the audience and handle the screen controls. Sharing the presentation of a webinar can be much less stressful than doing it alone. If your partner is technically skilled at webinars, even better!
So the three things that you can do to make sure you have the skills to produce and present your webinar are-
1) Read the manual; it's full of all of the information that you need to make your webinar a success.
2) Rehearse the webinar; practice will make your presentation glitch free and more effective.
3) Work with a partner to reduce stress and get help with your presentation.
