One of the best parts about doing a webinar online, is that you can have an audience there live while you are presenting a training session, you could record for later use, or you may even want to combine the two together. You may even want to just present the main material as videos, and then have a question and answer session for your students. The most important part is whether you want the training to be recorded or not and if you want it live.
When you are starting out on webinars, in the beginning they need to be live. When you run a live webinar, it will be the best way for you to get used to presenting live in front of an audience. By doing it this way, will also save you a lot of time, as they can be a bit long. So, when you do it live, you only have to do it once and that is it. The only issue you will have is, what time you want to present your webinar, and to make sure that you actually show up. To have a set time for the webinar ensures that you cannot change the date and the time, which also gets you into the habit of running the presentation when you say you will.
However, sometimes with live training you may find it difficult to do, and you may start to find that it doesn't have the fun factor, or you may get overwhelmed by the questions. If this is the case, then maybe recording it ahead of time maybe the way to go. When you do record them, you may want to post it on the paid membership section of a website.
This too, also depends on the personality that you have. For example, if you like to interact with people then continue going down the path of running a live webinar. If you feel uncomfortable about presenting live, then maybe record ahead of time. All alternatively, if you're not sure how you feel about both, try doing both the live and the recorded as well.
When you do recorded webinars or live ones, you need to know whether or not you are really getting to all the questions that is asked by your audience. If presenting live, helps to solve those problems for people and you do tackle the answers to the questions straightaway, then present live as this will help you do that.
If you are one of those people that don't interact with the audience and don't answer the questions, then there is no real reason to do a live webinar. However, if you do answer the questions, and let the training session go the way the questions and answer goes, then going live is what you should be doing.
This will help you to decide, which way to go. All of this depends on what you can handle, and what type of personality you have and what you enjoy doing more.
